RE: Following the herd...over the cliff!
If you pause, look around, and find yourself in "The Majority" (AKA "The Mainstream", "The In Crowd", etc.), ask yourself, "Why?"
If it's for no other reason than to be accepted, it's time to immediately revisit your life goals!
May you and yours be well and love life today.
Namaste, JaiChai
