Looks like the answer to my question was no..no you don't understand that. You're too busy trying to prove your nonexistent manhood by telling stories about how you so, totally, would too! fight a lion..... that the point completely escaped you.
That isn't how people lived their lives. Your standard of reference, the caveman who fights lions...is a fantasy. Your fantasy, it would have been their nightmare. Hence the reaction to a juvenile cat that would have been about three foot long fully grown. Hence bears becoming a global object of reverence and avoidance.
It's not a manhood contest. I said it was my opinion. If you choose to live your life differently, then so be it. It's your choice. For me though, that type of life is unacceptable. I would rather go down fighting a lion, then die from eating processed chicken McNuggets from Mcdonald's. Your opinion, my opinion, and you are certainly entitled to your view.
But that is how people lived their lives, just not everybody. Some people lived scared and afraid. Some rightfully so, and some by choice. The thing is, most of us have a choice, so you can either go out and "be the lion" or go out and "make excuses." What you believe is "fantasy" is "reality" to others because they make it happen.
