Follow the Leader

Discovery peoples have an article in their mag this month -- that sheep, and other herding animals will go however a few leaders go. Schools of fish, birds in air do same thing. It's not mental telepathy as much as just going where the few individuals take. Hmm. Peoples do same thing. A few leaders can influence a whole 'herd' of people. yeahhh, but not ALL Lemmings go over the cliff - some actually say "Hey waitaminit ---" and put on brakes. Okay, okay, they don't actually do that, but some will stop and not go over. So with people. Some do not go with the crowd. Therein lies the difference that sometimes makes a few changes resulting in increased survival of species. Jump? Or not jump? That is a common choice we all have. It never continues to amaze me how people insist we do not have instincts that guide our behavior. We do. The trick is, to know it and base choices upon that awareness. We are in for a wet week. Spring is doing its thing out here on the prairie! Still not enough water.
