Groupthink

It came upon mankind one day. As we sat in the innocence of the worlds way. A person saw that if people think others all want something, they will go along with anything. From that day forth groupthink was the weapon of the leaders. A tool so effective that it would fit into the hands of any deceiver. Every nation that was ever established, was upon this notion mostly brandished; like a sword in the light, the people could only stare with a mixture of wonder and fright. Their own power multiplied by the ability of their leaders to lie, and the inability of anyone to cry: 'this isn't what we we want, it is only a imposed thought!'. All the wars and tribulations, of all peoples and nations. It is the charisma in voices, and the inability of people to make their own choices. A power so immense that once unleashed, it ravaged the world like some demonic beast. For good or ill, we have opened this Pandora's Box. People today fill the air with talk. Saying that what is shall go away, and that we have hope for a better day. But all the while they are in denial, of the nature of what makes us defile, ourselves and our reality. It's the gang mentality. Perhaps some day we will once again revert, no longer allow them to pervert, our souls and minds. Free our selves from the illusion of time. Maybe even the notion of an individual life, and thus avoid the charlatans incessant strife. We ate of the fruit, we took Prometheus' fire, but do we have the ability to forsake the liar. The spectacle we create may be great, but this madness must abate. It will either be us, or the earth that shakes us, from this historic dream. From the well of sorrow we never had to drink, only overcome this thing we call groupthink.
