Camels are collectivists
They don’t like to move out of the herd
Quieter, gentler, attention seeking, and emotional
They take mistreatment personally
They are mean, when abused
Situations rarely cause concern
They come out quietly, of uncertain situations
They are for the deserts
Horses are individualists
Nervous, distrustful, panicky
Always in a hurry
When tangled, struggle violently to come out
Hate scarcity, need regular refuelling
But are for steep and rocky trail
A camel can’t work like a horse
This is not to suggest
All ‘horses’ are ‘individualists’
And all ‘camels’ are ‘collectivists’
Many horses are collectivists, as we know
They rarely belong to themselves
Collectivism is boring for some camels
In a herd, they have no time for philosophic enquiry
