That's a more complicated answer than I'd like. I'd like to tell you yes it's all me in here, but it's not. There is a beast. But that said the only time we have ever hurt another human being is in self defence. By way as they were hunting me, not the beast, they killed my first husband, and wanted to kill all those like me, or at the time used to be like me.
Think of it as two horses running in tandem pulling a carriage, they each have their own mind, but they are going in the same direction. One horse can influence the other, but the dominant one will always take the lead. In this situation I am the dominant one.
If it helps ease your mind I have fourteen children, all of which have seen me in and out of the lion all of their lives. I have never hurt one of them... and I never will.
