The herd vs. the individual.

[Raynine]

There are two kinds of people in the city. Those that can see what is happening, and those that wait to be told what is happening. Those that wait to be told what is real are the sheep of course, and we all know that. Now, a question arises here. If what the sheep are told is real is not true how can the sheep become aware of what is? This is a complex question.

Some people in the city are emotionally invested in what they believe. Are emotions a good basis for a belief system? They are only if you are dealing with a herd. A herd can be steered with fear, lies, and misdirection. It can be led right down a chute to mass slaughter, and it will go willingly. Can people like this be helped? That’s a good question. If history is the judge, the outcome for people like this is not good.

All the herd animals are individuals in the respect that they are equipped with senses. Hearing, sight, smell, etc., come with the package. But herd etiquette requires a dismissal of senses, especially common sense. The herd moves as a group, so individual initiative and observation go by the wayside. What is good for the herd is not decided by individuals in the herd. It is decided by a force outside the herd.

People are not sheep, but at some point, some people decided to be sheep. That means that some people voluntarily gave up their rights to think and act as individuals. This was apparently done to benefit the herd at the behest of whatever force is steering the herd. So maybe the more important question is about the force that is steering the herd. Is it good or bad?

We may find out soon in the collapse of reason that seems to be everywhere.

Fair enough, but what party has control of the information?

No, people are sheep, or are you not a student of history?

The very fact that people demand a king or a centralized power to shepherd them says as much.

So, it's a matter of choosing a shepherd wisely

Thankfully, my Shepherd is not of this world. I just feel sorry for those who have to choose someone from the Swamp circus as their Shepherd.

Um.

How in the world is this satire?

I spent a lot of time in cities this month and was taken by how many people, who are stopped at traffic signals, who wait for someone else to leave first. LOL, the sheep really stand out when they are all at the same intersection and NOBODY moves.

It wouldn't be satire if the world was sane.

Why don't you look at the content of the big media instead of who owns it?

It's all free advertising for tRump.

They never tell it like it is with him.

He's a liar, a thief, a con man, and unfit to be president. Main stream big media never says those things.
