Crowds full of expectation.
As if their lives were going to become different.
As if some magic was going to happen.
Special effect that defies logic.

What happens in your life ?

It's one of the mysteries of human nature to heap accolades and reverence upon those who have not the least influence on their lives. The existence and lifestyle, whether of Royals or celebs, have almost zero in common with the rest of society without whose collective idiocy most elites would not find themselves anywhere near being so over-valued. The degree of worship they receive, in spite of most having accomplished virtually nothing except the good fortune of being born into status, is disgusting which ironically makes sense since it conforms to what human nature amounts to anyways.

About the only thing that changes is that once you have met a Royal or Celebrity you can no longer say that you have never met one.

How about the positive feeling shared by lots of people who have arrived for the same joyful adventure ?

Love is in the air.

Watching a baseball game in a stadium might have a similar effect.
Lots of people enjoying an event, immersing themselves in enthusiasm.

In ancient Greece watching a theatre play together.
Or in Elisabethan England a Shakespeare play.
