We provoke a shark every time we enter the water where sharks happen to be, for we forget: The ocean is not our territory — it's theirs.
If we choose to walk into a forest where a tiger lives, we are taking a chance. If we swim in a river where crocodiles live, we are taking a chance. If we visit the desert or climb a mountain or enter a swamp where snakes have managed to survive, we are taking a chance.
