when a trip of goats reach a street usually they'll get frightened and won't pass the street so the goatherder catches one of the goats and passes it by dragging it, when the rest of the trip sees one of them passing they'll all follow the passing goat i call this the goat condition, blindly following someone, this is seen in other species, like humans, too. so in this piece the guy running after the other one represents a case of the goat condition.
