What is the point of following what a group does? What is the point of falling into the same thoughts as the group? Why be afraid to think for yourself or stand on your own? Don't you think it is time to break apart and show who you really are?

It is easy for people to into what a collective of individuals will do or fall into the same thoughts as them. Many people follow what a group does. For example if one person is joking about how different one person is then more than likely they will all start to make fun of that person. Many people are easily swayed into doing what everyone else is doing because it seems like the thing to do, or don't want to feel alone, or they are just insecure. Another example is if everyone else is drinking then a person may join in just because everyone else is doing it. There are many problems with this, but a few stick out. If you follow what everyone else is doing then you may not really know you are because all you did was follow what everyone else was doing. That thought may hit you someday, or maybe you all ready had your suspicions. Another problem is that you are giving up your free mind to be chained down to whatever group. You aren't really free if it was not your choice to begin with. The last problem I wish to speak on is the fact that if you do blindly follow what a group does then you may even get into some trouble. The type of trouble you may not walk away from in one peace, or lose someone.

Many times at the center of the group is just one person that everyone thought knew what to do or had all the answers that we seek in this world. One of the things we all share is that we are lost and are always looking for answers. We want to know why things are the way they are or why something happened, or what we should be doing. If it seems that person can provide the answers or knows what to do then people follow. They just become clones or sheep to that one individual. Social media, traditional media, or peers do not have all the answers you are looking for. It is like we are all actors and actresses playing the main roles in our own lives, but if you choose to always be a persons double then you aren't playing a part in your own play. Your part is set on their stage and not your own. You are your own book, so don't let media or some person control you to write what they want you to write. One of the things a person can do or media can do is help guide you to know and be yourself on a deeper level than before. Things like self growth, and learning are lifelong. Don't be afraid to take that step back and go off on your own.
