Sheep, Wolves, and Shepherds

Some people are sheep, some are shepherds, some are wolves. The sheep have a need to be led and will follow any shepard who will lead them, even it is to slaughter, such as the followers of Jim Jones in Guiana, or the Branch Davidian followers of David Koresh in Waco, or the Heaven's Gate followers of Marshall Applewhite in California. Sheep are not necessarily unintelligent. Doctors, lawyers, and professors are among the dead of cult followers. Some people are wolves who prey on sheep. They are the criminals who only seek to hurt, injure, or kill others for their own benefit. There are no "good" wolves but, thankfully, there are "good" shepherds. There are leaders who genuinely care for others and will guide them to greatness.
