I Hate the World We Live In
I won't lie to myself about it - I do feel condescension toward people who don't think for themselves. I think that it's a low and ugly way to be, and I'm grateful that, for better or for worse, my natural instinct is to think for myself. I think that sheep are usually happier, and I honestly envy them too. I'd love to be happier, even if I hurt the world by doing it. But whether I like it or not, my eyes are too open for that to ever be my path again.
Large groups are by their very nature self serving and narcissistic, with responsibility so widely spread around that almost no one really feels any sense of responsibility for their own actions, because they can always pass the buck up, down, or sideways along the chain of command. And it's from these inevitably unethical, narcissistic, self-serving large groups that sheep get their marching orders. And then they just mindlessly follow along and add to all the problems in the world.
