There are the herd people, true. I have nothing in common with them.
There are lone wolves, too, and I have no desire to be only one of these.
There is the pack, and that is of more interest: not to mill mindlessly
or to stampede collectively, but to run purposefully, with harmony and
cooperative competency, and, more, to run toward adventure, rather than
to eat the same pasture bare, year after year, that is more the natural
estate of Man.
