“[A]ny compas-
sionate reaching out
may seem to be going
nowhere at first, but may
be planting a seed … . Some-
times we need to just do the
best we can and then trust
in an unfolding, we can’t
design or ordain.”

– Sharon Salzberg (1952 – ) U.S. spiritual author

The Wolf and The Shepherd :

Once, a wolf got into the habit of following a flock of sheep without ever attacking any of them. As a result, after some time the shepherd began to think of the wolf as more of a guardian than an enemy.

One day the shepherd had to go to the city on business and it seemed natural for him to leave his flock in the care of the wolf. When he returned that evening, every single one of his sheep had been killed. The shepherd thought long and hard over what had happened and in the end realised, that it was completely his own fault.

Whoever puts his faith in wicked friends should expect no better.  (http://www.english-for-students.com/The-Wolf-and-The-Shepherd.html)
