Drone wasn't my word. I agree it can connote a negative image, sometimes deserved and other times not at all.

Some people seem to me to be living in the wrong direction for the wrong reasons (wealth, keeping up with the Joneses, etc.), with an uncharitable attitude toward others, who wear blinders so that they cannot see the rest of their world.

There are other people who don't go that path, who are quite normal, simple and happy. They don't have any intention of climbing the highest mountain, of making the most money, of putting others down. They just live life the way they were taught without questioning it because that's the way it should be and has always been. Certainly there are other kinds of people, but this is what I picture when I think of "drones." I find I fit with neither group.

I am happy to use an alternative word without negative connotations. Suggestions?
