We've heard it said of certain groups, "They live in a bubble." May question is, "Is common sense excluded from within this bubble?" You or I can hear something, and something in our gut says to us, something here does not make sense.  Don't these bubble heads get the same gut feeling,?    We don't call them Sheep for nothing! One dominate trait in sheep is called Follow The Leader: Follow the leader: "When one sheep moves, the rest will follow, even if it does not seem to be a good idea. The flocking and following instinct of sheep is so strong that it caused the death of 400 sheep in 2006 in eastern Turkey. The sheep plunged to their death after one of the sheep tried to cross a 15-meter deep ravine, and the rest of the flock followed." "Even from birth, lambs learn to follow the older members of the flock. Ewes encourage their lambs to follow. The dominant members of the flock usually lead, followed by the submissive ones. If there is a ram in the flock, he usually leads." A Sheep is a highly Social animal:  A sheep will become highly agitated if it is separated from the rest of the flock.  Q has mentioned on more than one occasion: Q 3859 Do people [human psyche] tend to follow the ‘majority/mainstream viewpoint’ in fear of being isolated and/or shunned? ‘Mainstream’ is used for a reason [dominate trend in opinion]. [If majority of people believe ‘x’ then ‘x’ must be validated / true] Normal sheep behavior "Changes in normal behavior can be an early sign of illness in sheep. The most obvious example of this relates to the sheep's most natural behavioral instinct, their flocking instinct. A sheep or lamb that is isolated from the rest of the flock is likely showing early signs of illness (unless it is lost). Even the last sheep through the gate should be suspected of not feeling well, especially if it is usually one of the first." The Selfie generation is constantly looking for affirmation.  In my time, ever child was taught, "Sticks and Stones may break out bones, but words..........."  Many today strive forb acceptance among their peers.   Ones entire worth exist in how you are perceived by other.   Only view of me matters, that is my God, my family.  And no matter what else someone says about us, if we stay true to ourselves, it matter not.
