Do you think that there are more independent thinkers in the world or more people who tend to be influenced by others? Do you consider yourself an independent thinker or do you allow others to influence your decisions? Or is there a balance between the two? Share your thoughts.

Interesting questions!
At first thought I was going to say that the independent thinkers are in the majority. Then I thought, no they are in minority. But now I wonder if there are any at all. Does the universe even allow for independent thinking?
Who of us can think independently? Are we not all being influenced by someone?
As I see it, we are either being influenced by God or by the Devil, and there is no other choice. If we are not for God then we are against Him? And that puts us on the Devil's side, no matter we think or say.
So I conclude that there is no one that thinks independently and that we are all being influenced by some Spirit!

Hi man gratz for the theme on this post.I think they are more influence "thinker" nowdays if we can call them thinkers cuz they are nothink more than a pet who do anythink to satisfy his master.And like the komunizm did, they try to destroy any way they can (phisical,mentaly,isolated them like some kind of nuts they are) just to make sure that no one will left who has freewill,frethinker or any freedom speakers.
The examples for that are hundreds and even happen to famous people.So no one is secure.
Thx for the post again-right to the target.
Peace out man.

...Hi there satanail, I look at things that are going on in the world and I wonder, do people just join in with the crowd or do they think for themselves? I think that people get caught up in the moment and feel that since so many people are standing up for a certain cause or a group is doing something, then it must be right or the thing to do. Reasons for what they are doing don't get considered or analzyed and it turns into a herd mentality. I remember one time last year in New Jersey at a deprtment store, there was a sale going on and the doors were un locked with hundreds are people pushing to get in. They all rushed in and in the process they trampled two people, one a pregnant woman, she was okay, the other person a man was killed. If each of them had said why rush? I'll get in and been reasonable, the man might be alive today. Herd mentality in any cause is dangerous. Thanks for your response.

Ye man this is some kind ?f sickness in our society no metter where are we from,cuz they put this kind of thinking all over the world.We are far more dumb than the sheeps man cuz the sheep need shepherd to put her back on the line,but we people do it without a shepherd.If anyone goes out of that line we put him back in,cuz he thinks or talks or do somethink that is not in that norm.And this norm is not what should be-like respect others,don't harm anyone who doesn't harm u,family tradition and other's like that.No this "norm" is like u say shoping mania,lowmorall,having more than one mariges,lie and steal from poor people just to have some fortune and stuf like that.
So... like TUPAC say KEEP YA HEAD UP and don't let them to convert to somethink that u are not.
I sugest to u man check the Willie Lynch letter for guidence how he control his slaves,and u will see that nothink has change.
Peace out from Bulgaria man.
