The need to be like them

If you go to a kinder garden and you just sit and noticed what the kids are doing, you will notice some strange things: most kids will be very spontaneous and will not think of what would the others think about if they did something.

However, if you come after fifteen years and you observed the same kids, you are going to find that most of them are part of the herd now and that they do like every one else.

What’s the reason for doing this?

Society will punish those that won’t follow the norm!

It’s pretty sad to see that some people are going to think of some new ways of doing things, but the rest of the society are going to punish them and silence them in order to keep things as they are.

I’ll give you a small example:

We all know that eating a lot of red meat is dangerous for the health, the planet and the poor cow!

However, do you see anything changing about this?

No, just go to your local supermarket and you are going to notice that the meat section will become bigger and bigger every single day and that there will be lots and lots of variations of this product added to other products too.

You may say that it’s bad, but there aren’t any other alternatives!

Well, people have been living on beans and legumes for more than a million years and it’s what has made us humans.

There are lots of vegans and vegetarians who want to tell the truth about meat and how it’s destructive to our health, but do you see them on TV or on cnn!!!!?

No way, they are put to silence because they are going to annoy certain other people.

This is what I’m talking about, society doesn’t want you to be confident, and it doesn’t want you to be alive!
