Nothing is as it seems
Nothing is as it seems;
Reality or religion
Politics or dreams.
We stagger through
With barely a clue
Not knowing what to do.
Following fools
As idiots clap and yell
Believing the claptrap
Of heaven and hell.
Feeding the machine
To earn our pay
To play
The senseless game
Of wealth and fame
And live
Another day.
But nothing is as it seems.

The more I see of crowd psychology the more I despair. Put a group of people together, bolstering each other, reinforcing each other’s views and you get a recipe for disaster.
Put it in a religious or political setting and it turns nasty – feeding division and hatred.
Put it in entertainment and it can be annoying.
I am bombarded with the American-style hysteria of shrieking and yelling that attends competition. Strictly is the worst!
Human beings can generate good positive excitement at sporting events and concerts but they also become unbearable in competitions and dangerous in political and religious settings.
Group psychology is a phenomenon much used by politicians, religious leaders and entertainers. It has many negative characteristics.
This is where war comes from.
