Introvert's Manifesto

 

"What is a crowd? A crowd is mindless, unbearable, fickle, unpredictable beast with no name. It's a flock of sheep...a pack of wolves. A horse tame in the harness, but dangerous when set free. A crowd is a burning fire raging out of control. It's a contagion - a fever filled with delirium - a concrete surface of crowded breaths - clouded souls fallen into empty eyes - child wards liberated by the sway of the pack descend the ladder of civilization - morbidly nervous and excitable they boil up to the surface of the cauldron of a city and reduce down to the primitive. Abandoning intelligence, judgement and thought, they are vulnerable to agitators, infiltrators and desecrators. A crowd needs to be ruled. Thirsty for obedience, it seeks out its patriarch, its despotic father - cheap tyranny - commander - to be manipulated - controlled. What is a crowd? A crowd is not us" ~ Bill Buford ~        ~
