the 30 sec threshold

Was watching nat geo videos. Lions are such beautiful animals. Not so fancy mating though.
She kept analysing and complaining after that. "The travailles of the lioness!" . All the rearing up of cubs and hunting for them for 30 s of pleasure.
Complaining; drawing parallels with human situation; complaining.
The evening was jaded enough. Didn't wanted to make it more so, by asking, If it's just 30 s of pleasure making us plod all those years... and we resent that, we should resent more the fact that its fear of some 30 s of pain that keep us keep plodding all kinds of plods..
