sheep show aggression with other sheep to maintain their social status.
they will headbutt, push, block, nudge, and mount timid sheep to feel inferior.
but the second the loving shepherd steps into the field, all butting order stops.
all strife within the flock flees.
all aggression in the sheep is replaced with infatuation as they look upon their shepherd.
the tensions dissipates.
peace is returned to the field.
all strifing in the sheep stops when the shepherd comes into view.
all arguments dissolve when their gaze goes to the same place.
theres no comparision, envy, greed, or hatred,
just love for the Good Shepherd.

"Sometimes life is stranger than fiction, but sometimes it's incomparable in other ways. Sometimes it's heaven that the false fire of imagination could never capture."
