Following the dog, sheep were the second animals to be domesticated by man, around 10,000 B.C. The domestication of the dog may have made this possible by its contribution in controlling the first wild herds. No one is quite sure which animal is the ancestor of the domestic sheep, but it is most likely a species that has since become extinct. Inherent in the sheep's behavior is its instinct to crowd together when threatened. This behavior produces the sheep's distinctive flocking patterns and makes it an ideal farm animal. As grazers, sheep don't just simply take nutrition from the soil. They can actually restore fertility to otherwise sandy or poor lands, and many farmers use them to increase the value of their property.
Friendship
The sheep's definition of friendship is broad and ill-defined. To the pleasant surprise of its coworkers, it insists on treating everyone it knows as a cherished friend - often going above the call of duty for people that it hardly knows. Family life for the sheep's offspring is really just an endless series of group hugs, with children receiving support from a large extended family. The sheep's devout commitment to self-sacrifice has it doing the work that no one else wants to do, like sewing 500 sequins on its child's costume in the wee hours of the morning of opening night.
Family and Marriage
Often attracted to the dog personality - probably because of its commanding voice and leadership skills - the sheep's willingness to compromise its sense of tranquility for the powerful benefit of being dominated by the dog, results in a bittersweet alliance. But ultimately this match is ill fated. The over-controlling nature of the dog eventually exhausts the poor sheep, and the relationship simply collapses. Sheep are content to stand in the shadow of their mates and are willing to make sacrifices for the long-term good of the relationship. By living on the deferred happiness plan, they consider boredom and subservience to be necessary evils in a successful relationship.
Communicating With Sheep
The sheep's desire to avoid conflict is often the catalyst for discord. By avoiding confrontation and simply acquiescing to its partner's wishes, everyone's feelings are simply swept under the rug. Worse yet, this puts the sheep in the position of becoming an annoying martyr with a moral superiority complex. So it's ironic that the sheep's why can't we all get along attitude actually creates the environment in which no one gets along.
Advice for a Sheep
Remember that the difference between a rut and a grave is its depth.
I'm not a sheep. I disagree, because my personality is not very correct in my opinion. Most of the topics are not true. The part that I want to be friends with all co-workers might be true, but that might be the only thing.
