ever wonder about lemmings? we make jokes and use the age old adage "if everyone else jumped off a bridge would you go too?" And yet, when it comes down to it, the break away from the pack is not as simple as the jokes imply. there are social consequences to being different; both positive and negative. on the one hand, people could revere you for being different and taking a stand against the pack, on the other, how often do we see young children shunned by classmates because they did something the rest of the herd didn't understand? but, let's not forget the computer game Lemmings...and the little pixel-y splats when you don't succeed in keeping them safe.
just a ponderism...a random thought on a day off where I really don't feel like doing anything, and would like nothing more than to waste time...seems I've succeeded in wasting two people's time!
