Follow the leader

What makes sheep, cows, dogs and ... men similar is their propensity to seek out and play follow the leader - not only physically, which can be easily comprehended (from misery loves company, to safety in numbers) - but in the specific case of men, mentally too. In fact, there, even moreso.

Pity the poor and dimly lit who follow their dead spiritual leader into oblivion. Why do they do it? The power of their dead leader compels them. They don't want to 'help' others (like they suggest they do), but only to secure their presumed place in 'heaven', defined - poorly or even worse - by that same dead leader.

Why would men want to give up their independence for the shameful captivity such leader-following always leads to (captivity)? That is THEIR big question, of course, but unfortunately they usually never even begin to entertain it, let alone conceive it.

Before looking out there, elsewhere, for examples of this, do realize you don't have to look there, because a shining example lives in the same house YOU DO. Care to guess who that might be?
