In the wild, the lioness doesn’t beg. She stalks. She tests. She demands respect and submission, and if it isn’t given freely, she’ll take her time getting it anyway.
Strength attracts strength, but dominance decides who stays. She’ll pin you with a look, wear you down with patience, and make it very clear who’s in control.
It’s not cruelty. It’s nature. Power recognizes power… and claims it.
