Don't you think sheep are meant to be with good sherperd otherwise they would be lost? They look too vulnerable and will always wish to be guided by sherperd to pasture in a jungle full of deadly and sneaky wolves, . So what does the sheep give in return for security? If nothing how then does the sherperd sustain himself and the business of guiding the sheep?

It important to strike a balance by making the relationship mutually beneficial without the weak/subject feeling cheated, robbed, enslaved or oppressed by the strong/leader and vise versa.

Sheep need good leader and must be obedient followers to avoid getting lost and devoured by the jungle beasts. They should also beware of bad and opportunitic sherperd. Getting led by them is equally as risky as getting lost in the jungle full of deadly beasts.
