Re: The use of the word "sheeple"
Seems that not only the word "sheeple" divides.
The psychological desire to label, is where it starts. Words, period, if used to explain why you agree or disagree, will enable division. But the words aren't the dividers, the desire to be right, is. Existing on this planet with others is what we're doing. We're having an experience. We can get caught up in the psychology of polarizing, or not. There came a time when I had to ask myself, "How free do you want to be?" The freedom of awareness without labels, emotional polarizing, consequences or fear, feels good. This is an experience. When I label the experience or it's people as good or bad, it is only my vibration that changes. If I instead, appreciate the contrast, harmony exists. How free do you want to be? CW |

Re: The use of the word "sheeple"
Good points made. I guess I'm too much of a dreamer for ever thinking that a large group of people can be awakened.
My bad. I guess I'll go back to sulking in the corner with a gun and food rations like many of the other posters on this forum. After all, negativity seems to be the only course for those. |

Re: The use of the word "sheeple"
I dont like the term Sheeple, why? Beacause alot of people that i love would be classified by this term and i dont like to label anyone.
If we want to WAKE people up I personally find it is best to lead by example not by force. When you argue your opinion, what generally happens? People usaully become defensive and will close down, where as if you walk the talk people become curious and want to know. just my humble opinion. |

As a poet said: 'If you will be nourished with silent contempt of underlings and ruling kings - you have found cheap food and may jolly well eat until you die.' If we view this world as a stage with all the actors in actors clothes, and realize that in the end the curtain falls, and we will be cheering for all that made the performance such a 'good show', even to the point of bringing tears of sadness, and fright of special props, for the realism it imbued. |

This is how I see it. If there was a lot of criminals around I wouldn't be complaining about people using the word 'criminal'. I would be focusing on solving the problem of crime. Same with the word sheeple. I don't think the main problem is the word sheeple itself. If you want to eliminate words that could be interpreted as insulting you have to eliminate half of the dictionary. Maybe what we really need is a more sophisticated use of communication such as telepathy. Which I believe can be fostered from empathy and love. Quote:

Re: The use of the word "sheeple"
A apt descriptor in so many cases that can be used derisively, like so many others.
I love my friends and family, and most of them are sheeple not even making an effort to think independently. Sad but true. Last edited by cantaloupe; 12-13-2008 at 04:35 PM. |

I was from when I can first remember astonished at how 'people' interacted. Astonished and appalled at their actions and how two /three/ ten faced they were to each other. So i stood at the edge of the pen looking in, never feeling part of the masses but not knowing why. When i found out that i was a 'horse amongst sheep' I vaulted the pen and went to my pastures green. From 11 onwards I beat my own path, and only pretended to feel 'part of the flock' until old enough and able enough to stand alone. You can't lead me to water, let alone make me drink. Provide me with my own map and compass and i'll be all OK cheers. |
