People Who Are Wearing Sheeps Clothing

 

Who are these people? People wearing sheep's clothing are those people who become friendly to you because they have evil plans up in their sleeves.  They pretend they agree with you 100% ... but what goes behind their minds is another story.  They make you believe he is one of you (just like a wolf infiltrating a herd of sheep pretending he is one of them). He can't be trusted and it is just a matter of time before he stabs you in the back.

Their behaviors can be likened to infiltrators, defined as somebody who secretly becomes a part of the group or a family ... whose goal is to get information and at the same time influence the way the group thinks and behaves. In movies ... they are like spies ... or a mole, soldiers, or intelligence and undercover agents who surreptitiously and gradually move into an organization, territory, or community for the sole purpose of espionage. Having trusted them ... they become traitors in the end.

Look at the way these guys operate. A good example of this is a friend of a friend who doesn't mince a word saying bad things about his friend's girlfriend.  He even helped them break up and organize their final goodbyes. And look who is he going out with at this time? Understanding his psyche ... all the deception and all that pretense of saying the nastiest words ever is just a means so he can claw his position to the girl. What a traitor!

And then ... there is this wolf who is applying for work. In his casual talk with human resources, he charmed his way to their heart saying: "I am an active contributor ... a good team player and I make things happen should I be given the chance to work with you. And the best part of it all ... I will help you succeed." Such sugar-coated one-liners can make bosses jump with joy. Little did they know ... the applicant had already sniffed frailty and weakness in them ... and this early his mind soars how he could kick their tushie once his application was accepted.

And here's another example of a pusher/pushee story gone viral in Thailand. The pushee wants a new life for himself but before he can turn a new leaf the police want him to act as a decoy so they will finally catch the pusher and put him in Rehab.  

And there are two friends who are running for top honors in high school. A befriended B so they could do assignments together and he could copy from him during exams. The sad part is that there are things that A knew that B failed and those he has problems with ... he copied from B. A becomes the class valedictorian ... to the utter disgust of B. You see ... even close friendships were not spared ... as this story tells us the lesson to watch out for these turncoats. In life, there are no permanent relationships... only permanent interests. 

However, I am more inclined to believe this lesson and make it my motto in life: Trust no one ... but yourself.  When the person strikes you as the friendliest and the most helpful person ... it is all because they WANT something from you. Remember ... the wolf in the sheep's clothing doesn't look like a wolf.
