One wise old man once said among his disciples:
- Locusts live in the steppe - these are blacksmiths that are everywhere and always. Grasshoppers. They live and live. And let it be. But as soon as they start to flock together, destroy their flock, or the flock will destroy you. But these are “just” grasshoppers!
— Rodents live in the tundra, called lemmings. They live and live for themselves. But sometimes it happens that they flock together and walk across the tundra, destroying everything around them. If you want to survive in the tundra, destroy their flock, or the flock will destroy you. But these are “just” rodents!
- People live in the world... people are like people, until they begin to gather in flocks... kill the locusts and lemmings in yourself, which sometimes want to gather in a flock, kill if you want to remain human... otherwise the flock will destroy you, and only the devouring animal will remain. destroying everything around. But this is “just” consumption... and only then - politics... and only then - the army. There are different words that can be used to hide the essence, whose name is FELL.
After which the old man paused and added:
- And there is also the word HERD. But this is different...
“And it’s better not to tell the sheep about this,” he muttered to himself and left the circle...
