A lion hears you, then, if not hungry, tries to understand you, respecting your territory …. It considers and tries all the options before "Roaring" at you …
While I share some of his qualities: loyalty; intuition; a steady balance of discretion over valor. I am my most authentic as the eagle : a paragon of vision, and resilience; gliding high above life's storms.
I cannot deny that there are aspects of this description that fit me. But the lion is an apex predator. I look at myself more as protection from the apex predator.
