		<description>The heavy lifting goes on mostly before you pick it up, because once you pick it up, other people rush over to help you and the burden becomes lighter, and if not lighter, then at least shared...</description>

		<description>"What is the good man but that bad man's teacher, what is the bad man, but the good man's student?"  Good and bad being open to vastly differing level of interpretation of course.

Being "good" is simply better for you, and for everyone, but it takes courage a hard work.  The world needs more people who are willing to take up this burden of being proof to others that living the good life works better than any other way of living.  Of course, it's not actually all that heavy of a burden, once it's picked up.  ;)</description>

		<description>"Maybe human shepherds have to be both."

And have a sense of humor. We had a German Shepard (from Germany) who was like a stand up comedian. He knew his jokes were funny and had perfect comic timing. (You had to be there.)

Thirty years later I saw a documentary about dog behavior and saw that playfulness was considered a survival skill. The dog confuses and defuses the preditory instinct in the attacker. He thinks he's dealing with a puppy. One of the dogs got rid of bears like this. He just would not stop aggresively inviting these bears to play. Very brave.</description>

		<description>I think you are meant to be a shepherd, Tim. I told you you seem like  preacher, from that Youtube video. 

Your whole pysiognomy, says "Look to me, I am here to help." Not like "look at me, I want attention" but rather "look to me" I have guidence to offer. 

As for me, I am a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingo" rel="nofollow"&gt;Dingo&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>There are actually two types:

Flock guardians and herders. Flock Guardians are big molloser types like a Great pyranees. They are big and lazy but really powerful and quick when they need to be. 

They are often white like the sheep they protect. They bond with the sheep. Their movements are rythmical and relaxed s they calm the sheep. 

When wolf comes to the fold they spring into action. 

The other type are herders, like border collies. Small and hectic. They intimidate the sheep with strong eye contact. The sheep percieves them as wolves. They are more wolf like than the flock guardians. The flock guardians display neotony. Basically a big strong baby Huey that thinks its a sheep, but is tough enough to kill a wolf. 

The two types don't get along. A flock Guardian will g ofter a border cllie and grab it by the neck and through it to the ground if it tries to herd the sheep. 

Maybe human shepherds have to be both.</description>
