Do you choose to be a sheep, shepherd or wolf?
In light of the global climate situation, many people behave like sheep.
Acceptance.
Let me be clear: everyone has the right and good reason to act like anything in any context. And all roles serve a certain purpose in the ecosystem.
Greta Thunberg, a global icon in the context of climate, seems to choose for a role as wolf.
Attack the situation, change and scare sheep. Shouting at as many people that want to hear it that an apocalypse is coming. Hoping that sheep move in a specific direction. Eat some sheep. Hate some sheep.
Boyan Slat, a global icon in the context of climate, chooses the role of the shepherd. Lead with vulnerability, failure and courage. Getting rid of the world’s oceans of plastic. He inspires some other sheep to become shepherds. Every sheep is welcome in the herd.
And there’s us: we’re sheep. We accept.
In what context are you a sheep? And in what a wolf? And where are you a shepherd?
