But they often do not know, who those other people are - at least on the conscious level.
This is where the concept of the masses comes in. The masses know instinctively, what the other people in their group are feeling. And they all act in much the same way - an example of the herd instinct.
This can have bad results, or good results.
I will not go into the bad results very much - the Nazis being an obvious example. In ten years, they went from being the rulers of Europe - to complete devastation.
For good results, consider the progress being made in Software. Software designers go to conferences - so they can get a good feel for what is going on. They want to see, and be seen - and get on the winning bandwagons.
But I have skipped over a common problem - when we think other people have more power than they actually do. When we are young, our parents have more power than we do. In adolescence, we should have to the opportunity to become our own selves - with our own power.
But there are many adults around - who are fearful children, at heart.
