Pack Mentality

When you join a new group of people, it's amazing how you can get pulled into their thought process.
It makes sense. Humans are social animals, so we tend to try to fit in, even if it's subconsciously.


Up in Yosemite, I left behind everything from my normal lifestyle. I was surrounded by new and different people. Pretty different than who I'm usually around.

As a silly example: Everyone up there swears like cowboys. Hearing that day after day for a couple months didn't make me swear anymore. At least not in public.
But I do think in swear words a lot more.
Heh.
