People are fearful creatures and always grow scared of what they don't understand. They follow each other for guidance and acknowledgement. They need to know what they are doing is correct. Hence the average is merely a moronic member of the herd.
So when another member of the herd is seen to be independent in its expression; its opinions and its perceptions, then the herd mentality is fearful of this singular being different than they ...
... rarely will they follow what they fear. Usually, the independent will be attacked by the herd. If the independent stands firm, then its ways are copied by the odd one or two of the herd; the independent will be ridiculed and slandered and defamed by others in the herd.
For in truth the average rarely thinks for itself; and when it sees one who does, and can, the average experiences vices such as jealousy and envy towards the one that can. For that is what the reptilean urges within the brain of the average decree ... such is the ease that people can be herded and controlled by an absent gaoler.
