“A mob never rushes to do a needed kindness.” – Anonymous
I think this is a great quote since it really makes you think about the nature of a specific event/idea and snaps it into focus for you. A mob (as opposed to just a large gathering) is a scary thing and they can’t be trusted to be rational or
purposeful or ethical while in the mob mentality.
That is why talk radio can be so cancerous. It sometimes can be a dispersed mob led by a ranting ego. And while it is unlikely that dispersed mob will burn stores and maim people physically, all the sacrifice of care and compassion and ‘needed kindnesses’ are still going to be missing from their heart as they go about their business.
What do you think?
