The river...

Why do most people go with the flow, live their mediocre lives doing and thinking the same everybody else does? Sometimes, someone with new ideas enters their lives and they hold tight to their boats, so they won't leave their path, fearing for their meaningless lives...
...when that person finally achieves something great, they insult him/her to hide their lack of ambition and narrow sight.
It's sad to see this huge flock of sheep, with their lives ticking toward their sunset and yet all they do is follow one another, never aiming for greatness, either in mind, achievements, art, etc... oh, they strive for something: money!!! And for what? To reproduce and get more money? To what end? None whatsoever. Sad really.

Don't be afraid to break the flow!

Loved this post.

I guess everyone looks for the confort zone which is as close as possible of the sheeps. But thinking from the other side, you only need one shepper for 100 sheeps. I don't think 100 sheppers would be happy with one sheep :)

It's "shepperd" ;) I forgot to mention the wolves, but even those are very similar to the sheep. :)
