This week's Dime Store Philosophy:
The Sheep, The Butcher, and the Five-Star Review
There’s something fascinating about sheep.
Not the actual sheep. They’re just out here doing sheep things. Eating grass, avoiding wolves, probably wondering why humans keep making
sweaters out of their cousins.
I’m talking about people.
It’s amazing how easily we’ll follow someone holding a knife as long as they’re wearing a nice enough suit and telling us the blade is “for our own good.”
The butcher doesn’t always have to drag the sheep to the slaughterhouse anymore. Sometimes he just has to offer a loyalty program.
“Congratulations! You’ve reached platinum status. Your reward? A front-row seat to your own bad decision.”
And the funniest part? Some people will defend the butcher harder than they defend themselves.
“Hey, don’t question him. He knows what he’s doing.”
That’s usually the sentence right before everyone realizes the map was upside down and the destination was terrible.
Dime Store Philosophy: A crowd moving in the same direction doesn’t automatically mean they know where they’re going. Sometimes it just means nobody wanted to be the first one to ask, ‘Wait… why are we following the guy with the knife?’
Stay curious. Stay skeptical. And maybe, just maybe, don’t let someone else hold the scissors when you’re the one wearing the sheep costume.
