Waiting and expecting, fighting and demonstrating for a "leader" to improve things is an action of inaction!
In times of crisis and unpredictability, most of us react as white sheep and simply look up to our sheppard with question marks glistening in our eyes. We listen to the supposed leaders and experts and hope to find an answer to what we should do next. Our objective and critical levels at this time are dangerously low, allowing experts, leaders and covert third parties in gaining colossal power over our freedom and bodies.
A clear example is the H1N1 "epidemic": the population (white sheep) didn't ask questions about the causes of the virus, its raison d'être; they just panicked. The experts couldn't answer how dangerous it was, didn't provide any evidence of it been significantly or any different from an ordinary flu virus (kills a number of people every year).
The experts pushingly advised to go through vaccination as a preventive measure, and to consume a dosage of anti-viral medication Tamiflu as a cure.
Months later, the flu was as world widely deadly as a grass snake. The Tamiflu drug and the vaccine were criticised. However, the experts remained experts!
A percentage of sheep nevertheless do ask questions, pest and manifest: the black sheep.
But, even these sheep (i.e. the Spanish Indignant demonstrating for "true" democracy), while creating mild havoc on the surface, still have a tendency in demanding change and guidance from those above. The latter who, in much greater proportion than Mr XYZ, contributed in creating the exact situation despised and countered by the black sheep. So, how are these "leaders" in any advantageous position in providing us with intelligent and un-egoistical step by step solutions?
These sheep do, at certain times, carry out great action against the system. This takes place when they don't chant around requesting action and dynamism from the "you know whos" but take on a direct and bold opposition stance against the system.
In the H1N1 instance, a number of black sheep claimed that the vaccination mission was unfounded and potentially harmful. This resulted in a growing debate about the decisions (and investments) that were been taken. However, before the debates amounted into open accusations, the flu pandemic quite rapidly waned and faded. The press began barking about different matters.
When the time we will want out will come, we will be looking within ourselves for guidance and not towards the stoned pillars of the system.
Till next time!
