It's a survival instinct...Oh, a hint... If you're ever in trouble, like drowning, yell to someone by saying a specific thing of them. Example: Hey you, with the red jacket and brown pants, help me.That way he'll come to aid you. If you yell: Help Help! Chances are noone is going to help you. They won't know what to do because the group is standing still.Also, just sitting there and watching... Loads of metalhead do that here too, so basicly you're acting like a specific group there too Just do what you want, when you want and how you want to. But don't try to break the law... If you're being yourself and you want to be independent, you don't only need to swim upstream to society, but just be yourself at all times and don't let the surroundings effect your behavior...If sitting and watching is who you are... By all means, keep doing so You said metalhead. Metalheads cannot watch. Do you know why? Because of that term you used. It's a label; they're part of a group. Being part of a group is like religion, you see, it gives you feelings and feelings cloud your judgment. Therefore, they do not watch. Once you have feelings, you can say goodbye to watching objectively. Now, according to you, I belong to that group. Why? Because I mentioned metal. But if I were a metalhead, would I not hang out with metalheads? Why do you think I sit alone on the bus and watch like this? Because I've purposefully stepped back from groups. I've thrown away those useless instincts. I'm not saying this lightly; at first, it caused me more suffering than anything I've felt before. But it's freed me.Now, if you respect the law, like you said, you cannot stop your surroundings from affecting you. To be bound by rules is to be enslaved by them and I have yet to find a free slave. Rules are meant to be broken. If you do all you're told, thinking about achieving complete freedom is useless. So if you don't break the law, you're abiding to those rules and enslaving yourself. That's another reason why I've abandoned those instincts. Yes, they are survival instincts. But what good is there in joining a group that will stop you from living freely?The metalheads don't watch, Lex. If they were watching, they wouldn't attach themselves to a group. Do you think they all sit around and watch the world, think day after day, trying to find out what exactly is wrong with it? They're drone, like the rest, they don't care. They don't care if the world's farked, because they're happy the way it is, just like the rest.

Cause you know those sheep got it pretty comfy at times.
