“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it’s time to pause and reflect.”
Interesting though, Mr. Clemens. But I would say it’s also sometimes right to pause when you are not on the side of the majority, as there are two strategies in life: do what everyone else is doing and do what no one else is doing. To avoid hardship and suck the pulpy flesh from the rind of life, both maxims must be applied situationally. What follows is a handy-dandy guide to the preferable philosophical uses for a few sample scenarios.
When choosing a Chinese restaurant, do what everyone else is doing.
When choosing a radio station, don’t do what everyone else is doing.
When selecting a day to go to an amusement park, don’t do what everyone else is doing.
When deciding whether to wear a raincoat or not, do what everyone else is doing.
When deciding what speed to travel on the highway, do what everyone else is doing.
When choosing a meal at the Cheesecake Factory, don’t do what everyone else is doing.
When choosing a country to immigrate to, don’t do what everyone else is doing.
When deciding where to urinate at a concert, do what everyone else is doing.
When writing a Blommit post, don’t do what everyone else is doing. Or do. Whateva.
