Where do wolves go when in distress

So Thursday June 30th was a rather intense day and all that before the clock even struck 9am. We were in a safe place listening intently to one of the local stations. The discussion for that day was supposed to be about a young man who falls in love with a young lady only to realize much later in that his real love is the young lady's sister. And so it began and the calls began rushing in and presenters began flooding the small studio to give their opinions to the seemingly perturbed host of the show. 

It was all, left to the imagination and I sat there trying to form something significant in the minds eye at the chaos that ensued in the production room. 

There were several camps that emerged but one of the main ones was about was what referred to as the Code. This is supposed to a set of unwritten rules between women that forbids one (friends) from encroaching on the love space of another. So the violation which was falling squarely in the hands of the fella, was made much worse because the two young women were friends yes, but more than that sisters. The conclusion then was simple. The guy should abandon ship and leave the family intact. The experts when on to say that he was risking ruining the lives of the family. 

Others decided to use Scripture in defense of the actions and referenced characters like Jacob who was fooled into marrying one sister instead of the one he really wanted to Marry. 

This is not the only show that covers relationships but this was unique in the sense that it was giving a Christian perspective. Other shows are much more brutal or honest (depending on where you are sitting). But the advise is often noteworthy. 

Maybe this is a crisis unique to our generation where we are less inclined towards commitment. Evidence of some if this thinking is found in the types of responses you will find in many of these posts especially where challenges are faced. The advice often is often to jump ship an find someone else, or something along the lines of life is too short. 

The rest of the show was peppered with humor from past presenters and other calls that attempted to give responses based on tribal biases. One example of this was the girl from the north who threatened to use a stick against the aggressor who dares to put her against her sister in a matter so delicate as one of affection. 

In a world devoid of innovation at least in regards to affection but where the reign of Kings means that the bulk of us a willing in some part to trade and share our affections with others, the question is where do wolves go when in distress and in a world that favors sheep?
