20 Emails And An Abstract Livestock Analogy Later
There has been some drama going down with a group that I am involved with… (so I guess this post is aimed at them)
It is one of those “the people versus the power”, only “the people” have no clear idea why the hell they are donating pitchforks to the people leading this whole escapade.
We (the people) seem to be clinging on to some abstract hopes for things that are months away and for which we have little control; being lead like sheep by shepards who honestly believe they are saving us from the flood that has almost no chance of happening.
So, 20 emails and an abstract livestock analogy later I come to realize that I am participating in this not for any specific goal, but simply because these ’shepards’ and the interaction the ’sheep’ have with them is the most pure form of entertainment: people thinking that they are much more powerful than they really are.
If this group wants money and trips, that is what they will end up getting even if they do NOTHING. The people at whom the ’shepards’ have the pitchforks lined up towards are going to do what the ’shepards’ want no matter what. Shut up and stop beeping my f*cking blackberry or I’m going to keep ‘reply-to-all’ ing you all as if I give a f*ck.
