understanding crowd - I

a crowd is not considered a crowd in psychology till

- it turns in a particular direction

- personality of individuals is lost in it

- it is driven by reasons but is not conscious about it

- logic goes to sleep and impulse takes the driver's seat

- intelligence goes on leave, wisdom is scared away

- there is overwhelming dominance by sentiments

---

so when caught in a crowd

just run

in its direction.

when out of a crowd

look for one!

And for heavens sake

never stand against it!!

---

And when does the crowd turn?

not so early

not so easily...

atleast never mistaken its slowing down as its reversal

look for typical symptoms of its reversal including its tiring out.

it falls, like every demon, only after a prolonged effort and gyrations!!!
