In life you have three types of people: Wolves, Sheep, and Sheepdogs.
Wolves are characterized as those who prey on the weak, the innocent, and the helpless; in other words, they prey on sheep. Wolves are bullies, who like nothing better than putting others down. Wolves are selfish, only looking out for themselves, and not caring who gets hurt along the way. They can be found wherever there are people. They will attack anything that looks or acts like prey.
Sheepdogs are characterized as those who fight for the innocent, the helpless, the defenseless, and the weak; in other words, they protect the sheep. Sheepdogs stand up to the bullies, with no regard to their own safety. Sheepdogs are selfless, always looking out for the others. Forever learning new skills to use in their life against the wolves. They will fight for anything they feel needs their help.
Sheep are characterized as those who are defenseless, weak, and helpless; in other words, they are prey. Sheep see the wolves and are afraid. Sheep see that they are constantly under attack, and try to stop the wolf and its kind through laws and restrictions such as no sharp teeth or claws. They see the wolf, and notice the large teeth and claws. The problem is they also see the sheepdog and notice its large teeth and claws.
Sheep cannot discern the difference between sheepdogs and wolves, so they restrict both. This brings a new problem. The sheepdogs, never wanting to go against the sheep, will follow the restrictions and file down their teeth and clip their claws. The wolves, will only laugh at the audacity of the sheep's restrictions, and, seeing the sheep defenseless, will attack with greater assurance of safety. The sheepdogs will fight back nonetheless but will not be as effective. They know that their fight is just, and will stop the wolves whenever they have the chance.
The sheep will always be afraid of the wolves, and the wolves will always attack the sheep, but as for me, I choose to be a sheepdog. Protector of the innocent, the helpless, and the weak. May God help me in my fight, for I believe it is a just one.
