Oh, so you just had your foot
tasted by a zebra, openeyes? Doesn't sound like you would be scarred for life by that experience.
DoAnyOfYouExist, who knows, maybe you were a big cat in a past life. I really don't about anything like that. I'm open to it, but...who knows, not I. I have somewhat of a fear of heights also.
I think we might be surprised by the extent hominids have been shaped by our ancient encounters with big cats, and predators in general in an evolutionary sense.
Here's an essay on that topic, just for fun:
Quote:
Stop for a moment and look at your legs, and contemplate this: they have that general size, form, and proportions because of the lions and leopards of East Africa.

And, I suggest, the
big cats may still be a factor driving human evolution, not at the survival level, as previously, but driving us to a new spiritual integration.
Well, I like playing with that thought, anyway.
