Those that call others sheep, are often just part of another shepherds flock and aren't aware. Learn to think critically, make your own decisions and admit when you're wrong about something.

Also: Thinking for yourself does not permit you to choose your own facts. Many people apparently confuse the two concepts.

The truth often sucks, but we must accept that, even if we don't agree with it.

Bingo; by lying about the factual state of the world, we would probably make it worse.

The distinction is quite easy to make:

X to Y: "Hey, you sound like a sheep."

Y: "Oh really? Please tell me more, why do you think that?"

Y gets new perspective and might grow.

Versus...

X to Z: "Hey, you sound like a sheep."

Z: "I'm not into conspiracy theories, can we change the subject?"

And yes.... if X is still running after fiat money, brushes his teeth with fluoride tooth paste or takes anti-biotics etc, X is indeed part of another shepherds flock.

Agree!
