Lemmings

Lemmings are small rodents who have been known to follow each other as they charge to their deaths into raging rivers or off of cliffs. Lemminghood is an innate psychological phenomenon, present in most mammals and observable in common people as well the most sophisticated and educated elites. Lemminghood is not an intellectual phenomenon - it is psychological.

As such, no socio-economic class is immune to its strangulating effect. A grant-seeking university scientist can be a lemming just as much as a fashion obsessed teen-age girl. One blindly follows the latest trendy theory while the other blindly follows the latest trendy clothing style. What's the difference? Neither can resist the force of nature.

The power to fit in with one's social peers can be irresistible. To a human lemming, the logic behind an opinion doesn't count as much as the power and popularity behind an opinion.

Man, like lemming, behaves collectively. And it could be no other way. Naturally, the individual must be equipped with this trait. Otherwise, the smallest steps toward civilization could never have been made. Lemminghood is a survival trait, an inborn instinct in the majority of people. However, as with all natural phenomena, this tendency can be manipulated and used for harmful purposes.

It is this lemming effect which enables entire segments of a society to lose their sense of judgment all at the same time.

For lemmings, denial is a basic psychological defense mechanism used to not only shield themselves from unpleasant realities, but also to reassure themselves that they will still fit within the acceptable range of opinion held by their peer group. Lemmings are absolutely terrified at the thought of being labeled as an "extremist" or a "conspiracy theorist."

At all costs, their beliefs must always be on the "right" side of the issue and conform within the boundaries of their lemming peers. Lemmings simply cannot bear the burden of responsibility, or the discomfort, which comes with thinking independently. They'll resist any efforts to change their misguided beliefs with all their mental energy.

We can try to open their closed minds and free them from their self-imposed blindness, but it's not easy fighting the force of human nature. The chains of ideological conformity have too strong of a grip, and breaking them is a difficult task. With the limited resources at our disposal, it is next to impossible to compete with the media lemming-masters. Nevertheless, some of us must make the meager attempt, and thus lay the foundation upon which the truth might one day rise again.

The idea that lemmings collectively jump to their deaths was a fraud filmed using domestic lemmings in a country where lemmings do not occur in the wild. The poor critters were placed on a spinning turntable to disorient them then pointed toward a "Cliff" about as High as an average curb - then herded over the edge into 18 inches of fast moving water - another fantasy created by Walt Disney

[Tiredofthesystem]

The point is the psychological part of lemming is kinduv like the REESES Monkey story.. alot of b.s. in Nursing co-exists and rakes people over hot coals, and they are so used to being treated like crap that they really just "monkey see" monkey Do"....( back to elephant on the couch) .

[hsieh]

Have you considered you're being misguided? Being you are not in the hospital seeing the real goings on and get your information from hearsay (which even Judge Judy doesn't allow). Some of us that do have first hand information have said we aren't treated badly but you refuse to believe that. I am an adult and I'm not treated badly by anyone because I don't associate with people that would treat me so. My mother must have raised me wrong to not know the difference because I've done pretty well for myself and consider myself happy for the most part....oh well so much for my misguided self.
