People are nothing but sheep

People are really like sheep aren’t they?  I mean they will literally follow everyone else and not think for themselves.  “I’ve got to have an iPod mommy, because everyone else has one and I’ve got to buy my music on iTunes too because otherwise I’ll be a freak and Jayne and Timmy won’t talk to me anymore!”

You buy your 32” Sony widescreen television screens from (insert high street store of your choice), you subscribe to sky, the BBC and whatever else next door are in to.  You have to make sure you’ve bought your house, where’s the best place to buy a house, send Jimmy to Montessori so he can grow up and be a good little consumer like mommy (stay at home breeder and Betterware rep) and daddy (works a boring 9 to 5 and doesn’t care as long as he can play around without the missus finding out).

People are nothing but sheep

You have a PC bought at Time or PC world and it’s got Windows or Linux or Apple doo da operating system of the month on it.  Who cares, you’re buying the stuff and still doing it because someone says you have to!  You’ve got to install the latest software and get the latest upgrades, because you’re told to.

You’ve got to shop at the designer stores, no actually scrub that; you’ve got to buy your clothes at Oxfam and Help the Aged, because that’s the latest cool thing to do.  Yes, every one else is doing that now aren’t they.  Don’t forget to recycle and take your clothes to the clothes bank, that way they’ll be ready for the next batch of sheep in some third world country!

You buy the latest consumer gadgets, because your friends and people you touch every day make you feel you HAVE to.  You don’t want to stand out in the crowd now do you?  You beat out the same worthless existence and worship the same crap religion everyone in your section of toy town do, probably because you don’t know any different and why would you?

Maybe it’s the fault of the media, maybe it’s because of religion, or there again it could be the lack of religion in society.  Maybe it’s because of THAT religion.  Yes, I’ve got your attention now haven’t I?  Anyway – this isn’t a gripe about religion.  I think it's probably best that we save that little chestnut for another day.

No, it’s plain and simple.  People are just sheep and they’re pretty stupid sheep as it happens.  You do what you are told and you do it when you are told, end of story.  You can’t think for yourselves and you don’t even realise that you’ve got a choice.

You believe everything that you see and hear and you no longer question the source.  Even the wide availability of that classic movie Nineteen Eighty Four and the message it carries is completely lost on you.

Bah!

Did you notice the sheep in the photo. They're all looking at the camera except one of them. That one sheep is looking away. It knows something. I know it knows something, and it probably knows that I know too. But what is it that the sheep knew in the first place?

Come come now......maybe I just happen to LIKE a particular brand of clothing or footwear etc etc. Should I be branded a sheep because other people share my tastes?

well you shouldnt blame the people themselves, because of infinite human stupidity, it makes us rather easy for the powers that be (if you want to believe in the illuminati (power behind the throne)) or not, we get manipulated easily through pretty obvious things like.. media, news, fear, making us addicted to physicallity (whether thats their fault or not), giving us these external posessions like cars and t.v.s; whatever, drawing us from our TRUE BOND WITH NATURE, the further from perfection we come, and we are pretty much mostly absent in spirituality.. also through ridicouling, or killing the real teachers out there.. trying to reach to the masses (using a very annoying phrase) ; waking them up.
not to mention these free energy inventions/inventors, get either surpressed or they get ki11ed.
This is pretty obvious but the main reason is the oil.. they are sitting on alot of money if u know what I mean.. they ar'nt going to let that go easily.. thats why its so hard for disclosure, whether your talking about ufos, free energy or anything.. (if u disclose ufos , then you kinda have to tell everyone about the free energy devices)
ALSO- things like flouriding water, that really is making us dumber- aspartame in nearly all low sugar or sugar free products, things like this really dont help- for us..
Anyway ive gone off-track this was about people being sheep but I think most of this stuff is relevant..
ANYWAYS -- I reccomend watching
Esoteric Agenda,
Kymatica (esoteric agenda II)
these are great documentaries by ben stewart , I really reccomend these videos , I hope i'm helping to spread them
...
peace
and
black metal ofcourse.. WINDIR!!!!

You are 1000% correct! People can´t think for themselves (most of them anyway)! Keep up the good work!
*Darkscarecrow  21-Dec-2009 10:10

 
This guy is totally right. I am assuming you are a guy because of your writing.

Please don't think I don't - was just an amusing observation I had never considered before !

You have of course considered that you touch the door handle on the way out ? (i.e. after you wash your hands!)
*Darren  22-Nov-2009 16:41

 
Why should you wash your hands after a pee:

1. Because of all the other dirty things that you may have touched in the loo which have been touched by people with germ laden hands ( loo handles etc, not your prized possesion)

2. Because the rest of us would be awfully grateful ?

To all those who don't accept that they are sheep and are programmed to do what they are told -may I ask one question (men at least) ?

Why do you wsh your hands after you've been for a pee ? My head (the one furthest north!) tells me that my hands are dirtier than my dangly bits - surely we should wash before touching our most prized possesion ?

Quite aprt from that - my aim has on occasion been slightly off - but I have NEVER pissed on my own hand !

Maybe its just me !

it,s sheep we,re up against which band actually stated that? was it more political comment than just a pop song? I don,t know but I agree completely we are all wooly baks we follow blindly without arguement but the options for constructive agreivance are few and far between we are being forced into submission someone or some group needs to fight back just removing the symbols(hammer and sycol) does not mean we are free
