Cuddly Bears

Why do we think bears are cuddly? They are deadly! Powerful claws, sharp teeth. No one would let their kids play with a real bear.

But we think they are cuddly. Evolution should have made us hate bears by now.

Is it possible that bears and humans were supposed to play together? Were you made for a world of powerful, but peaceful and playful bears?

I feel like we were. Like a dolphin that lives it's whole life in an aquarium. It was made for an ocean! But it can't remember how it came to live in an aquarium. It just always has, but it's heart tells it that he was made for much, much more.
