Too Herd-ish

.

.. I don’t get it, honestly I don’t, how swamps and swamps of people, intelligent looking people, (I must add) all flock in the same direction to nothing and they all seem excited about ‘God knows what’. You are there, starring at the same thing and you are questioning the sanity of the masses or your own insanity. At this point you are on the verge of concluding that you must be an alien and ‘gotten off before your stop’ or maybe you took the wrong bus altogether. You belong to another planet, another tribe, this people are too herd-ish (my word, by the way) all flocking cluelessly to their doom, drinking Cool Aid along the way.

The longing to belong, to be part of something, is so strong within human that people will most times participate in the most ridiculous things just to fulfil that yearning. and God help that one that is awaken and chooses not to join the madness , he will be ostricsed, roasted life.

Who controls the herd? what force brings people together like that and maintain the togetherness?
