Momentum is happening on the upward and downward spiral; individually and shared.
One day, during my numerous hours of watching the Olympics, a story came out that a man, assumedly frustrated about something, tossed a bottle on the track right at the beginning of the men's 100 meter race. A female wrestler who was in the audience just a few seats behind was apparently angry/frustrated by his actions (joining the momentum) and tackled him. As the announcer is telling this story he is getting irate at spectators behaving in such a manner and condones the tackling of the spectator (joins the momentum). I, listening to the announcer condoning violence, get frustrated that he, being in a public position like that, would express an opinion like that. "Doesn't he know he is just continuing the momentum of the violence?" And yup, you guessed it, with that I became the fourth stage of sharing the momentum of frustration. Around the world in seconds, sharing the downward sprial.
LOP is being picky about which momentums I join.
