![]() Have a rock solid faith that makes it impossible to listen to the sheep's sucky opinions.Be confident in yourself and in the choices that you make.Take into consideration the opinions of the rest of your pride.Make your decisions based on what YOU think, what YOU believe to be true, and what YOU want to do.Don't be afraid to stand alone and be the leader of a "pride" so to speak.They may talk about how they plan on standing up to that border collie one day, but trust me, it will never happen. They would rather run along side the rest of the sheep instead of stand against the crowd. They scatter in the face of danger or confrontation. They stick together in herds almost all the time, and even while in these large groups, they still obey the commands of a relatively small canine. Now, just because you may not particularly care for a person, doesn't make them a sheep. Not all of us may be CEO's at our corporations or be the most popular person in high school, but we still walk amongst sheep. We live amongst them every day and because we are the domesticated ones in this story, we have to learn to tolerate them. However, as humans, we don't live in a world where those sheep in our lives can be eliminated within the second. The sheep would be eaten alive and there would be no alternate opinions stated on the lion's choice of mate. ![]() In the animal kingdom, this would be settled very quickly and very gorily. this 400 pound, 50 mph beast, is legitimately reconsidering his decision based on what a weak, cowardly sheep thinks about it. The lion overhears, hangs his head, walks slowly back to his pride and immediately rethinks his decision. They're gossiping about this lioness that he has chosen and they really do not approve of his choice (for whatever irrelevant reason they can think of), even though they would never say this to the lion's face. But off to the side, there is a group of sheep. He's decided that THIS is who he wants to raise lion cubs with and to stand by his side while leading the pride. (Keep in mind the animal statistics during this.) So the leader of a pride of lions has decided on a mate. Say that all of the animated movies about talking animals, and all of the animals in the kingdom living in harmony, are in fact true. Now why have I been rambling on about sheep and lion facts? Let's put it in imaginary terms for a second. ![]() In the human world we have a word for that. So a herd of sheep, which can range from 5-50 of them, obey the commands of a dog that is very close to the same size as them, simply because they won't stand against it. ![]() ![]() I personally love border collies but if we're being completely honest, they usually aren't very intimidating. Also I'd like to add that sheep can be herded in large groups by one border collie alone. And there really isn't a recorded speed because. The average weight of these grazing animals is 150-200 pounds, and usually stand between 2-3 feet tall. And if for some reason I had the opportunity to get near a full grown lion without a fence in between us, I'm 110% sure that you can count me out of taking advantage of that opportunity.Īs much as we love the heart warming movie Babe about the lovable pig and all of his sheep friends, I'm sure we can all agree that sheep are not nearly as impressive as the rulers of the animal kingdom. There is a reason these carnivores are called the kings of the jungle. Its roar can be heard from over 5 miles away and their top speed has been recorded at up to 50 mph. So let's think about this for a second.Īlso known as "The king of the jungle," the average lion stands 4 feet tall, 5-8 feet in length, and can weigh anywhere from 330-500 pounds. As soon as I saw it, I realized how logical this statement really is and how applicable to our lives it can be. So last week I saw this quote written on a co-worker's dry erase board at her desk. ![]()
