Forming one's self

It is the minority who would be more aware as they have the time and solitude to think for themselves whereas the crowd would have herded together based on an ideal,  belief without so much of considering its truth. Soon enough,  the minority will prevail as being the right one.

Think: hipsters.  But even so, they have now gone mainstream.
