The short fable below is the easiest way to understand these two divergent approaches to life. There is the choice of the wolves of good and evil. Which one lives the boy asks ... The old Chief replies, "the one you feed".
The scriptures tell us that by your fruits ye will know them. Consider these two approaches to life in these difficult days. What do their 'fruits' say about them. Reality is the judge.

This business of being a sheep or a sheep dog is not a yes-no dichotomy. It is not an all-or-nothing, either-or choice. It is a matter of degrees, a continuum. On one end is an abject, head-in-the-sand-sheep and on the other end is the ultimate warrior. Few people exist completely on one end or the other. Most of us live somewhere in between. Since 9-11 almost everyone in America took a step up that continuum, away from denial. The sheep took a few steps toward accepting and appreciating their warriors, and the warriors started taking their job more seriously. The degree to which you move up that continuum, away from “sheephood” and denial, is the degree to which you and your loved ones will survive, physically and psychologically at your moment of truth.
thanks Jeff, very well said.
