    I mean, that’s totally understandable. I completely get that. But there’s a much higher chance of a bear mauling you than a guy doing anything bad, surely you understand that, right?

      I hear you. But what if we are talking about worst-case scenarios. Let’s say both the bear and man wished me harm. I would choose the bear because with the ‘bad bear’, I would hope it kills me quick and eat me. But I fear the ‘bad man’ would do far worse than just killing me and eating me. If we can guarantee that both the bear and the man are ‘good,’ in the best-case scenario, then I imagine the man would be the better option! He would definitely be a better conversationalist anyhow!

      Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell if a human stranger is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ on first sight. Would they give you enough time to figure it out?

          There’s enough weird people out there. I am not giving anybody chances. The risk is too high for me. I don’t think that it’s because you don’t want to understand. I think it’s because you really can’t understand due to the difference in our experiences. I don’t know how to solve this so I will leave you to have a nice day!
