Summary

This quote is a humorous way of implying that although two entities may appear to coexist peacefully, they have fundamentally different natures or interests. In this metaphor, the powerful and predatory lion represents one party while the innocent and vulnerable calf represents the other. Despite their physical proximity, the calf cannot fully relax because of the inherent danger posed by the lion. The quote highlights the idea that harmony can only be surface-level or temporary when there is an imbalance of power or conflicting motivations between two individuals or groups.
