Humans...or sheep?
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
While the human race as individuals are, in fact, mostly harmless, when they gather in large groups they tend to turn into highly volatile sheep. Now, by this I do not mean that they become wooly, explosive livestock, I mean only that they become followers of a single strong voice and are subject to sudden changes in mass opinion. If, at any point, you feel yourself becoming a wooly, explosive animal, then quickly consult your local physician or vetrinarian, depending on the extent of the transformation. If you feel, however, that you are becoming a volatile sheep of the first type mentioned here, then this is a perfectly normal occurance. However, I must include this warning: If you become a volatile sheep of the first nature, you may be held responsible for any and all acts of violence, cruelty, excessive kindness, or odd sexual practices you perform while in this state. If this is the type of mental state that you prefer, it can be hightened by alcohol and sex.
The human race can also b e violent as individuals. This is not nearly as common as the group violence. The problem comes, you see, when this single violent person manages to become the Single Strong Vioce (See above).
You see, people feel the need to be lead somewhere. I have no idea why this is so, but they do. People are terribly frightened of thinking for themselves. This is only a bad thing when we stop checking out those we follow. It is absolutely true that quite often we do need people to think for us, because many of us are neither capable nor willing to make important decisions. The one decision we must make is whom to follow and whom not to. Our tendency is to follow anyone who appeals toone part of us or another. I know that deciding who to follow is comes dangerously close to thinking for yourself, but sacrifices must be made. Not everyone is a sheep. Ther are, of course, leaders. The ones who do not follow, but instead take charge and bring large groups of people to conclusions that the large groups were initially unaware of.
