I have been influenced to question the group.

@badattitude77769 Additionally, it's also important to always question yourself. Even if you think you got it all figured out, maybe you don't.

Anyone reading this knows that we are conditioned by the environment around us, our experiences dictate how we think. Until one isolates himself from thinking as a group, using logic and reasoning, we can never separate right from wrong.

@Elizruth Many so called normal people who conform are the weird ones!

I quiet like challenging things, my wife and kids hate it, but if i don't like my food in a restaurant i will say, i wont demand a refund or refuse to pay, but i don't see why we should all lie to please others. I question pre conceived idea of anything from the age humanity is said to be all the way down to what the teachers tell my kids about economics etc. I laugh when people follow like sheep, but it also makes me think, also a little sad how stupid humans can be. Great vid :)

Cool vid :)

I think that conformity is one of the main problems of humanity. So many evils could be avoided if people acted as individuals instead of a herd.

Awesome video. I was wrestling with some of these issues tonight. You helped me a lot. It's cool to be different; albeit a little weird.
