FOLLOWING THE MASSES

A few years ago I was walking down Prague's Wenceslaus Square when I coincidently, without realizing it, found myself in the middle of a protest. It was so easy to blend with them, to get into their middle and march with them, but once I tried to leave that mob, step out and continue on my way I couldn't. Bodies around me prevented me from getting out of the way despite all of my efforts. After I finally extricated myself from the crowd of protestors I realized how powerful and influential even a small group can be, how easy is to follow the masses without thinking about where it would lead me.
