“Compare it with the situation that you’re walking around somewhere in the wild and suddenly a herd of elephants comes running your way.
Then you can only say a little prayer and expect that in a few moments you will be as flat as a pancake.
But what if those elephants don’t just run forward, without minding that tiny little human being there, and instead all nicely run around him, thus leaving him unharmed?
Then wouldn’t you think, that those are really very civilised animals, (that obviously naturally behave in a very life-friendly way)?”
(One of this website’s author’s standard reactions, in case somebody states that according to him or her it really goes too far to for instance bike or walk very carefully, where one knows that there are sometimes slugs or ants on the path or on the road.)
