More From Haruki Murakami

We laugh at sheep because sheep just follow the one in front. we humans have out-sheeped the sheep, because at least the sheep need a sheep dog to keep them in line. humans keep each other in line. and they do it by ridiculing or condemning anyone who commits the crime, and that’s what it’s become, of being different.

Clever Emotional Men

Sheep Agreement Civil War
So when the wolf pounces on your lamb, just ignore the pitiful bleating and remind yourself that this is a democracy, where every sheep can freely express its preference for which kind of wolf it wants to be eaten by. many sheep, perhaps understandably, prefer a wolf in sheep's clothing, which is after all the basic idea of democracy. so far it has worked pretty well. the wolves all agree on that, and they want to spread democracy everywhere.
