The number may change, but the meaning of the saying stays basically the same:
A million people can’t be wrong!
Oh, if only that were true. What a different world we would all be living in.
The million will never admit (until they wake up to realise they are living in a dreamworld) that they have got it wrong because they SIMPLY CAN’T STRETCH THE MIND TO BELIEVE that this world is anything but logical and rational. And it’s a world so explainable, they think, with its logical and rational scientific propaganda.
Empathy and sympathy are two very different things. While I have empathy in abundance, I don’t sympathise with anybody about anything. Sympathy is one of a selection of words which have erased themselves from my mental dictionary (along with ‘regret’, ‘luck’, and ‘deserve’), but I perfectly understand why the million think the West is best. I can empathise with that as I too suffered from Standard World View until recently, though my symptons were mild in comparison to most people’s.
Yesterday I found myself talking to a Canadian lady who has quite an adventurous spirit. She’s in Spain on her own and is putting lots of time and effort into learning Spanish. Nice one!
