So, as always, I've been doing some thinking...
Today, I was thinking about animals. Specific animals, namely sheep and goats.
When we were kids we had both. Here are my observations:
Goats:
Baby goats (kids) are really cute and affectionate animals. By nature they are inquisitive, curious and have a whole lot of spunk! Definitely intelligent little buggers and ever so lively!
Sheep:
Lambs are adorable with their white and wooly coats. They look every so cuddly! But in the brains department? Not so much. We had a lamb we raised over the summer. All that thing did was eat. I named him 'Lambert' and I imagined making a pet of him over the summer until his fateful end. That thing was thick as a post and all I can say is the best part was when he was served up on my plate for dinner.
Now, think about those characteristics of these animals and then think about yourself...
For many of us, the mere fact that we are on this site shows we are curious at the very least. So too, most of us are here because we weren't just blindly playing follow the leader. No matter how indoctrinated we may have been, part of our brains were actually at work and something, somewhere along the line made us stop and think... and perhaps even question.
I could go on, but with those factors in mind... which animal to do more identify with? Which animal is more attractive to you? And which animal would you want to be if you had a choice.?
Now think back to the illustration of the sheep and the goats...
I'm just putting this out there for comments... I'm not drawing any specific conclusions. I just want to see what you all have to say on this subject.
