I suppose I am after all a wolf essencially. However friendly I could become to others and many friends I have, I notice it is myself who should decide what I am or what I should become.One has his own background and can't make his close person understand the whole of it.One must make up his mind about where to go in the future sometimes.Sheep don't have to do this, always bleating, enjoy rumors, in groups.But I can say that they should know a little more about the existance of what can eat sheeps, like wolves. This world is changing at much more high speed, than it was in the old sweet days. And it is an enjoyable world for a sheep-looking wolf, like me, a boy at the age of 16, who have studied english for 3 years.

I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing.

I am one of Gods sheep. I so happy to be one of His. I wake up every morning of the day and find life is invigurating. I am not bored a bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I don't fear. I am safe to be where I'm at.

I believe I am a wolf....

Read the "treatise on the steppenwolf" and you'll see how silly it is to believe yourself to be a wolf. It's funny. you'l like it.

I'm the dove, loving peace.....

Sheep are rather stupid animals, whereas wolves, to survive, must have their wits about them. Tame wolves, also known as Dogs, actually help guard against their distant cousins, the wolves.

I'd choose loneliness over boredom any day. Although sometimes to be in the company of others, it is necessary to "dumb down", this is not of my choosing.

I would choose the middle road- and the life of a sheepdog is for me. Dogs must be smart in order to herd the sheep, yet would not dream of harming their charges.

hmm...is being a monkey out of the question?

I am the shepherd who protects the sheep from the wolf , so i an neither bored or lonely .

I rather prefer to be a sheep than a wolf. Sheep connotes or symbolizes God's follower. Wolf denotes cruelty.

Thanks for asking. Have a great day!

Jesus is the sheperd and I am the sheep. I love the Sheperd aka Jesus.

There is nothing worse than being a sheep IMO!

Sheep with the good, wolf with the bad; loneliness is overcome with the former and boredom with the latter!

if you were born bored and if you live bored an die bored then would you actually be bored?

think about it we think say a green person is weird,but if we were all born green lived green and dies green the it would be accepted as the norm.

same goes for loneliness its all a matter of perception.

altho personally I'd rather be born lonely. can't miss what you never had.

I'm human.

I'm a wolf..
I travel light in the friend department. One of my earliest memories is being 5 years old and hiding under a tortoise statue in a park to avoid playing with the other children. I preferred to watch them while out of site..
I'm a bit more outgoing now, but, I don't really maintain any long term friendships. I just maintain whatever is convenient at the time depending on where I'm at.
I've lived in two different countries and three different states so far and I'm in my mid 20's. I'm already contemplating my next move and it will probably be to another state where I know no one.
I can't think of anything that could be worse then staying in the same town for my entire life or staying at the same job through to retirement.

I don't believe that sheep = boredom and wolf = lonliness. Both types of animals depend on eachother and safety in numbers. So even if one says they are a wolf they probably tend to migrate more towards people of the same pack mentality.
