Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.
Rainer Maria Rilke

just because it wants your love, doesn't mean it doesn't also think you would be delicious after searing.

I'm just a pessimist, so if I see something that appears to have it in for me, I to assume the worst. I only mentioned freud because I was paraphrasing the 'sometimes a cigar is just a cigar' (which I would not be surprised to find is a phrase he never uttered).
"that looks like a hungry dragon. perhaps it is not, but I think I shall assume it is hungry unless it proves otherwise."
