Herd Mentality
Herd Mentality
Khalil Gibran (a Lebanese writer, poet and visual artist) says; In old times a king and his minister were very friends and good administrators. People were happy; people love and fear from king; a good quality of leader. A magician woman was jealous of this prosperity. She tricked some magic on the only well from where the whole community was drinking water. Whoever was drinking water from it from now onward were getting crazy and uncontrolled. Until king and his minister woke up, the whole area were turned crazy and uncontrolled and became enemy of the king. Realizing the situation, the king and his minister also drank water from the same well to be declared 'normal'.

A flock of people gathered around a victim of accident standing but no one is moving forward to help the victim.

Ideas are easy. It's the execution of ideas that really separates the sheep from the goats.

In order to be an immaculate (perfect) member of a flock of sheep, one must above all be a sheep oneself. (In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity; Adversity introduces a man to himself; As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it; Failure is success in progress; In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, one must above all, be a sheep; Creativity is contagious. Pass it on.)
