What makes you not a sheep?

I've just had a thought of the Jews during the holocaust being murdered by the millions not fighting back even when they were forced to dig a hold for their friends and eventually themselves. It's a complete sheep mentality if not worse. Sheep will stand around while you slaughter their mother and everyone eventually you'll end up killing them. Hence the insult you're a sheep.

So my question is how do you know you're not a sheep going with the flow of what is around you?

People die all the time waiting for god to intervene, content if they do die they will be in a better place along side god. Some of the captives did fight back, there were rebellions and escapes using violence. This was mostly from the younger and physically capable, a few days of confusion, misinformation, disorientation, without food and water tends to knock any fight out of you, even well trained captured soldiers behaved the same.

As for not being a sheep, I suppose you mean being a sheep dog or a wolf, that's a good question. I dont think you know yourself, that's part of being one unless someone told you.
