Doesn’t make much sense to get angry at a bear for being a bear

Bears act like bears because of their biology and what they were taught by the other bears they were around as they grew up. Individual people act like they do, and make the unique decisions they make, because of their biology and the other people they were around, and learned from, as they grew up. Bears have no choice but to act like bears, and people have no other option than to act like they do, and make the decisions they make. It is not realistic and is also very dangerous to expect a bear to act like a horse. Once we learn another person’s true nature, it is also just as unrealistic, and potentially dangerous, for us to expect that they will act or make decisions in a way that is contrary to their true nature. Once we realize someone is a bear, if we continue to expect them to act like a horse, and we end up bitten or mauled, we have absolutely no right whatsoever to be, even the slightest bit, angry at the other person. They were just being who they really are. We can only be angry with ourselves for thinking a bear could or would act like a horse.
