It is very true that people are influenced, many times we realize and as we believe it is the right way we accept it and at other times we do not realize that we are being influenced.
Each person is influenced by the environment and the social class in which he / she frequents.
Many times you want to do something different, but you are alone and you have no choice but to follow the flock.
All my life I worked in a relationship of dependence and within the system, four years ago I decided to give up and live off the web, totally out of system,
It is very difficult, it costs a lot to generate income, it is a totally different life. but again you find that you follow a pattern, virtual cards, virtual purchases, cryptocurrencies, manipulations of governments, bank regualtions, again you feel that you are being induced.
excellent work dear friend @krnel, thank you very much for sharing this material
Yes, everything in our environment influences us, from birth to death shaping us in various ways. The herd influences us a lot like you say. You're welcome, I hope you're plans for getting out of the system are going well :)
