Always doing like 'the others' is a very convenient piece of wisdom; in addition, it brings all earthly benefits and respect - for being wise. One person flatters the other because he regards it as wise to do so.
Doing like 'the others' 48 IX A I32 - S. Kierkegaard.
What to say here?
By doing like 'the others', you can be wise as well as respectful person, from 'other's angle'.
By doing not like 'the others', you may never can be wise at your lifetime, from 'other's angle'.
And also remember, we are living in a society, so other's angle could be an important parameter in our life.
So with reference to all those things that we know, at least we could accept that doing like 'the others' is much easier than doing not 'like others'.
