Groupthink

Any lie will receive almost instant corroboration, and almost instant collaboration,
if the maintenance of it results in the public enjoyment of
someone else's pain, someone else's humiliation.

Lots Of Fun

You are a man, 

you understand.

You pick me up

and you lay me down again.

You make the rules,

you say what's fair,

It's lots of fun

to have you there.

Honestly, I cannot understand what people mean when they talk about the freedom of the human will. 

I have a feeling, for instance, that I will something or other; 

but what relation this has with freedom I cannot understand at all. 

I feel that I will to light my pipe and I do it; but how can I connect this up with the idea of freedom? 

What is behind the act of willing to light the pipe? Another act of willing? 

Schopenhauer once said: Der Mensch kann was er will; er kann aber nicht wollen was er will 

(Man can do what he will but he cannot will what he wills).
