Human being gets his monster to hate. He is invisible in the blue ocean. He is described as fierce and violent. If you want to give a representation of danger, draw its dorsal fin. If you are not a diver, you will only observe it in magazines, maw wide open and glassy eyes. Guaranteed chills. If a tragedy is torn from its sharp and scary teeth, it is much better : Hollywood will be delighted and will shoot a bloody red sea movie. Youtube will make tons of “like”.
So the man asks, worried:
– “Are you scared when you dive with sharks? “.
This so-called monster has guaranteed the equilibrium of the ocean for about 400 millions years. He survived five massive extinctions, including one that reduced dinosaurs to ashes. It kills 10 humans a year.
On the other side you have a hairless chimpanzee who put himself in charge of the 6th extinction. To that end, we slaughters 100 millions sharks every year. Which means 270 000 sharks a day.
Pretty good massacre for the so-called intelligent specie.
A monster does not always look like one. It depends on the point of view.
