Herd Mentality: A Sign of the Weak

by pinkmink10 in Lifestyle Choices, January 6, 2009

Herd mentality at times goes a long way in misguiding people as the saying rightly goes, one spoiled mango spoils the whole basket.

How many of you are actually scared to be alone? Now, I am not talking about perpetual loneliness. Anybody would be scared for that matter, including me.
All I am asking about is how many of you actually think on your own?

Yes, most people are scared to be alone even in their thoughts, decisions and likes/dislikes. That is the very reason people fall prey to the wide-spread disease named “Herd mentality”. People falling under this category are extremely vulnerable to suggestions given by others. Sometimes so much so that they even ignore the truth which is very clear in front of their eyes. Yes, these people do not trust their eyes, they trust their ears.

This “Heard/Herd” mentality is very comfortable for those falling prey to it, however, it can be extremely harmful for the one against whom it is targeted.

So friends, let your eyes do the judgement too, as they are in front, so will make you face the truth. Whereas eyes are at the sides, hence may deviate from the truth.
