Sometimes, they act like they have lost their self-control. I behave in a responsible way, but I can have some fun when the time calls for it. That is just the way I am.

Problems arise from their inability to think for themselves.
If my friends would think as individuals, then problems that come from following other s cut-loose attitudes would be averted. Because I act with my own mind, I have an easy time keeping these problems at bay. Throughout history, problems have been caused when everyone goes through the same thought process. For instance, during medieval times, the church was very powerful. In the 1400 s, some of the higher authorities within the church led the Inquisition.
