Watched a TV programme tonight about one man’s pursuit of the whale, inspired by Melville’s Moby Dick. It finished with him swimming with Sperm Whales in the sea off the Azores. They took a look at him: he took a look at them. Neither was frightened.
That’s it reality but equally it is strange. When you feel strong, you are not really frightened but maybe you are wary and nervous. Maybe you display confidence, I do not know. Whales have never frightened me despite their size. They just seem to know. Same with the Mountain Gorilla and even the Lions.
It’s people that frighten me.
