THE MOB
August 11th, 2023 | San Francisco, CA
I have been in a mob.
If I had to describe the feeling… It’s like being caught in a river. Sometimes the current is strong. Sometimes it’s not. And sometimes you can’t fight it.
I remember how good it felt to let go. To be swept along by the flow. I remember how wrong and alien it felt to go against it.
How lonely.
There is a saying in a book I love:
“Only a fool fights the tide.”
And there is truth to it. But there is also the saying that fools tend to rush in.
And I firmly believe that one must relinquish one’s individuality to be part of a group.
