When you are faced with danger, how do you react?

Do you freeze up, cower in fear or become aggressive?

You might not think about it, but your actions can be categorized into three types of animals. 

When it comes right down to it, people can be classified into three sorts of animals.

It is up to you to decide which one you will be. If you read this post carefully, you will be able to determine which one you are.

First, let's take a look at the sheep.

1. Sheep

The vast majority of people will fall under the category of sheep.

They go about their daily lives completely unaware of any potential risk or catastrophe until it's too late.

When you are faced with danger, how do you react?

• These are the individuals that do not plan ahead or prepare for anything.
• They usually do not have a lot of money stored up.
• They don't have much food or water in their homes.

When a hurricane is approaching, they begin to tape their windows because they lack metal shutters and other protective measures.

Ninety-nine percent of the time, sheep are often the victims, which leads us to the following animal.

2. Wolves

People who prey on sheep are known as wolves.

These are usually the criminal elements of society that have no qualms about using violence to take or obtain what they desire.

• Many of them believe that simply owning a pistol is sufficient preparation. 
• They merely rob the sheep and take whatever they have with them.
• The wolves never run out of prey because most people are sheep.

Wolves frequently conduct crimes against sheep based on the high prevalence of criminality.

As a result, sheep can be hurt or killed until the sheepdogs arrive.

Then, the wolves usually get away with it.

3. Sheepdogs

People who are proactive and generally behave as 'protectors' of their tribe are referred to as sheepdogs.

Sheepdogs aren't just for law enforcement officers, and they don't have to be male.

You're a sheepdog caring for her kids if you're a well-armed single mother who can defend herself against two attackers trying to break into your home.

You're a sheepdog if you're a man who can defend himself against a thief who tries to rob you.

A sheepdog is the antithesis of a sheep.

Sheepdogs guard and guide the sheep to safety. When dogs are present, wolves do not approach the sheep.

4. Mindset

Everything boils down to one's mindset and beliefs. If you feel that owning a gun will keep you safe, you will have a real chance against any wolves who come your way.

On the other hand, being prepared makes you a sheepdog.

However, if you feel that people are inherently decent and that you can talk your way out of a potentially dangerous situation, you may be pleasantly surprised and end up as a dead sheep.

In the real world, these 'wolves' are armed with firearms.

You'll need to reconsider your life approach and posture. For example, do you aspire to be a wolf, a sheep, or a sheepdog?

To sum it up

The first step toward reaching your full potential as a prepper is deciding what kind of animal you want to be.

Crime and violence will rise during times of crisis, whether you like it or not and whether you accept it or not.

That's just the way things are.

You will be slaughtered if you choose to bleat amid the howls of the wolves.

If you opt to bark, you will drive the wolves away.

Finally, the decision is yours. Know yourself well and make sound decisions.
