The Crowd Behavior
No one denies that human being, personally, is a unique entity, unexpected, unpredictable, and sometimes irrational. And women are the most complicated part of this entity. :)
But once these entities group together in a mass, their behavior becomes readable, predictable, and can even be arranged. They move in a pattern that sometimes is repetitive, and they're highly sensitive to stimuli. It's very easy to manage and direct their inclinations to the direction we want.
That's at least what I've experienced in the years of my work. I studied the crowd. The crowd is very sensitive to promotion and marketing programs. This crowd tends to be noisy in the weekend. This crowd moves geographically with the same pattern every year. We can record how they spread when disaster struck. We can make them grow in one place, and die elsewhere.
In this case, sociology becomes easier and more enjoyable than the psychology. In a group or society, freedom and the uniqueness of each individual is reduced because of the interests of others around him. All have an interest, and all will be hit when trying to achieve. Humans tend to be wild when out of the group.
And the more pathetic, sometimes this group behavior is just like how low-level beings do. Leave a corner of the city uncontrolled, and a few weeks later it grew the fungi, mosses, insects, slums, street vendors, markets overflow. The longer this garbage is allowed, the harder to clean.
Beyond that, be careful with kids. They may be small, but very dangerous when in groups. :)

Too Much Time
Hah it's been a long long time. Even this is not the first time. And who may know that it will be repeated again and again..:)
So long delay, as if there were no progress in my life (hmm, it doesn't sound wrong actually).
I'm now in a big hurry. Something is never tired to chase me, and my neck is so stiff with unseen burden. Wow... seems so serious. But that's true, it's the fork in my street right now. Somebody lurks in the dark, watching my steps, and will give me some stabs when it's found that I have spare time long enough to write blog.
So sad and painful. But not that bad..:)
