Some people understand this joke story as some kind of "usual collaboration" between the people and the government ("voice from behind" is the government, "I" is the nation/people living in the country ... But it was the real story so this is just an allegory only sorry.
Please don't understand it as guide to the action :) Story.I go for a walk. There is small computer shop on the right side. I am turning to the right.
Voice from behind: "Don't turn right!".
I am thinking: "That's funny. I spent 20 hours near computer working today ... yes, i am really tired ... i definitely need to sleep". I am turning right.
Voice from behind me: "Don't turn right!".
I stopped.
I am thinking: "it should be policeman. Otherwise why should I be stopped? ".
I want to turn round to see this guy.
Voice from behind me: "Don't turn round! Dont turn right! Don't stop!"
I asked: "So what to do?"
Voice from behind: "Go straight!". And what do you think I did? Yes, I turned right! I just rounded the house and came to my 'right' street from the other side. And what I saw? There are many people on very small street. All of them turned right! ALL! It was some road accident and street is very small. And that guy/voice was a policeman. All the people turned right during the half a day to see "why"!
