The Sheep, The Lynx and The Wolf

Umm .... No, this has nothing to do with Biology, Ecology or anything related to National Geographic. Anyways, it has been quite a while since I have written anything on my blog (almost like a year since the last post) and today I decided to put down all of what I have perceived and seen in my group of "acquaintance" (In case you don't know what acquaintance mean, this is a nice article talking about it) and "friends" as I lived away from home.

There are times when I associate certain personality with certain animals, no offence! But regardless of whom the person is, certain aspects of their behavior can be linked to behavior of certain animals. No matter how you think about it, once they are stripped off from their minds and emotions, Human beings will only be left with their animalistic instincts.

And this time, I gunna talk a bit about the social

behaviors, and I have categorized them into 3 Main "animal profiles": The Sheep, The Lynx, and The Wolf.

The Sheep:

The 1st thing that probably going to strike your head is a green field and a huge pack of sheep with a shepherd and maybe a German shepherd dog (or whatever was the dog's name). Regardless of the shepherd and the dog, sheep have always been seen in packs or flocks and never alone, not even for the slightest moments. The people whom I associate with sheep are those the very timid ones and can't spend a single moment alone. They are in need of daily dosage of "people's attention" in any form. If the "sheep" was forced to spend weeks or days on his/her own, they won't last long before having a mental breakdown.

The Lynx:

Most of the sub-species of the Lynx have their members live alone with no association whatsoever with other members of their kind, in most cases (mating is an exception). The Lynx has the tendency to live his/her life in solitary as long as

everything goes their way. People of that category will always tend to be on their own most of the time, they might have acquaintances here and there, but once the "purpose" of those acquaintances had been served, all bonds will be severed. They tend to lose the people around them, since they most of the time have in mind that once they lose "a friend", they can make "two new friends".

The Wolf:

Most of the people mistakenly think that wolves live on their own, and not in a pack. Even though they might seem that way, but wolves never howl alone. There are always a handful of them lurking somewhere when their

pack member patrol the area. They can make it out there on their own, but they always have a pack to return to whenever the need rises, and every pack member will help regardlessly. People in this category may not have as many friends as the "Sheep" but they always have the "Selected Trusties" whom they can rely on in times of need. It is not necessary for them to be around their "Selected Trusties" all the time, but they spend a fair time with each other.

There are some times people who fall in between those categories such as "Mountain Goats" (between "Sheep" and "Wolf") and "Grizzly/Brown Bears" (between "Lynx" and "Wolf") but these are the most frequent among the rest.

In this article, there is no pointing to anyone, as what the tagline of the site says, this is just a blabber I wanted to share.
