Book: About blessed life
Contrary to common sense, people always stand up for what brings them trouble. This is what happens in elections in the popular assembly: as soon as the fickle wave of popularity rolls back, we begin to wonder how the people we ourselves have just voted for have slipped into praetors. We sometimes approve and sometimes condemn the same things; this is the inevitable defect of any decision taken by the majority.

This means that the main thing for us is not to become like sheep, which always run after the flock, heading not where they need to go, but where everyone is going. There is no thing in the world that brings us more evils and troubles than the habit of conforming to public opinion, considering as the best what is accepted by the majority and to which we see more examples; we live not by understanding, but by imitation. Hence this eternal crush, where everyone is pushing each other, trying to push back.
