Wolves, Sheep and Sheep dogs
Animals are whatever they were born to be.
They have no choice. Sheep are peaceful creatures who go with the
crowd wherever they are directed.
Human beings, on the other hand,
do have a choice. There is no shame in being a sheep. If you
go along with the herd and accept orders of the herder, are incapable of
harming or confronting another except by accident. Then, you are
a sheep. But, you will always need a sheepdog or two to look after
you and woe to you if you encounter a wolf when no sheepdog is around.
If you are a predator
or a parasite and live off others whether violent or not, then you are
a wolf. But, the sheepdogs will hunt you down and you will never
know peace and security.
If you are a predator
advocate - you may call yourself a lawyer, a politician or an activist
- - but you're still a predator. And eventually, the sheepdogs will
(hopefully) get you too.
If you are capable
of violence but set yourself on the path of protecting the sheep, that
is the path of the warrior, the hero , The sheepdog. You may be a
soldier, a cop, even a lawyer or a politician or just an ordinary citizen
who carries a gun. But, that may be a rocky path.
The sheep do not like the sheepdog. He
looks like the wolf and is a constant reminder there are wolves in the
land. They would prefer he didn't give them tickets or carry a gun.
They would prefer he just spray-paint himself white and go "baaa".
That is, until the wolf comes knocking at the door. Then, they all
try to hide behind the one lonely sheepdog.
So, which are
you? A sheep, a wolf or a sheepdog? Or have you ever thought
about it and decided?
