I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside

Summary

This quote highlights the irony of lion tamers and their perceived courage. It suggests that their bravery is not as impressive or admirable as it may seem at first glance. While they may appear brave for confronting powerful and potentially dangerous animals, the quote suggests that they are actually protected within the cage and shielded from the true dangers posed by humans outside. Thus, it questions the authenticity of their courage and whether it is truly deserving of admiration.

The more we respect his teaching the less we could accept his miracles.
