Our view blurred while stampeding head down in the herd

“To really understand something is to be liberated from it. Humanity’s greatest ally is the self-educated individual, who has read, understood, delays their gratification, and walks around with their eyes wide open.” ― Ross Ashcroft

It got out of hand
got us captivated
if we’d understand
we’d be liberated

But such a detachment (by other word)
can’t happen while we stampede in the herd
