Lamb. The Bible compares us to sheep and sheep are really stupid.

@JPWhoo i don't think it's a trick question. Since all humans are sheep according to the Bible, and sheep are stupid, it means all humans are stupid. Like how humans can be made to behave like sheep without realising their self, a wolf too can be made to think of itself as a Lamb.

@JPWhoo not a trick question nope. Are we born predators at heart or are we the "predated" if that was a word. We have to strive in nature to get what we want don't we ?

@JPWhoo I do not mean a question of evil or not.

in10RjFox · M

By nature, humans comprise of all creatures .. Depending on the situation, behavior can change like that of a snake, cat, dog, wolf, lamb, lion, ass , monkey etc. Maybe Chinese astrology picked it up well and classified humans based on their characteristic.

@JollyRoger If humans were left in the wild with no protection they would become preys too.

@revenant left in the wild they would become hunters and also fall a pray like any other animal. It's the civilization that makes them as lambs.

@in10RjFox True. I think Golding's "The Lord of the Flies" describes the fall of moral values quite well.

You might find in a person it can go from one extreme to the other

@soar2newhighs that is very true.

[big][center][i][b][c=A69800]I would say it is different for everyone as a lot are like sheep who follow one sided narratives whereas other people are like other animals as they are strong and some/a lot can see through the bullshit sadly some fall for other narratives pushed on us..

Just saying :) haha my mind goes overtime when I answer 🤔😬🤷🏼‍♀️ hope that's ok :) [/c][/b][/i][/center][/big]

@revenant What do you mean? 🤔

revenant · F

SarithBorn · 18-21, M

@revenant My favourite animal is a lion. it's been that way Since i first discovered one 😇

That depends on your parents. If your parents beat the wolf out of you, you can become a good little lambie pie.

@4meAndyou insightful

Depends on the person. I've both both types.

revenant · F

@badminton In equal proportions ?

badminton · 61-69, MVIP

@revenant most everyone have some of both, Some people are 70% lamb, 30% wolf, ...

revenant · F

@badminton true

Turn your back on nature or a wolf, and there's trouble.

@BizSuitStacy ah !

It's a forest where both live. You have to decide which one to follow.

Although I would replace lamb - which implies innocence and naivety of childhood - with a creature that is beautiful and clever enough to thrive amidst predators.

revenant · F

@Abstraction so what would that creature be ?

Abstraction · 61-69, M

@revenant Difficult to think of one that doesn't have other connotations. Giant pandas are herbivores that have no predators - tigers leave them alone - but some might see them as a little roly-poly to want to identify with.

revenant · F

@Abstraction we can move to other elements like the sea and air.

wolf in lambs clothing...

revenant · F

@Amor69Fati aha good one !🙂

SW-User

@Amor69Fati Yep. The obvious cover up starts to gets hilarious

MrGomco · 36-40, M

Wolf, humans are naturally predators.

Wolffy · 56-60, M

I must say from my point of view human nature is more like a wolf wild Primal Raw willing to just slip up behind and grab your hips and shove slowly and deeply inside and ride into your Breathless

PatKirby · M

I'd have to say because of the circumstances (survival, struggle) it's become more like a wolf. But in Hunter Biden's case it's more like a [i]wolf on the lamb.[/i]

@PatKirby eheh🙂

TheOneyouwerewarnedabout · 41-45, MVIP

There is 2x breeds of human.
Wolves n sheep.

And the sheep are that genuinely kind and nice, they can’t fathom the existence of the other.

revenant · F

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Sheep thinking that everybody else is necessarily a sheep...yep

PatKirby · M

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout

Exactly. Wolves don't want to be fed, they want to [i]hunt![/i]

No. Village like as a group, we would never be allowed by the modern capitalist sympathizer. That's why the war against everything and everyone by America.
