Another day in the herd...

I was flailing around yesterday trying to put into words my frustration and anger at the general publics willful ignorance and the dichotomy of people hating to be told what to do, while at the same time longing to be told what to think, when I found the following quote:

"It is infinitely easier to suffer in obedience to a human command than to accept suffering as free, responsible men." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Seems Herr Bonhoeffer nailed my whole essay in one sentence.
