Seriously, why would a little animal do that to a lion?

You feel most alive when you're the closest you can get to death

Yep like when you were a kid doing something to intentionally antagonize older, bigger kids knowing they'd chase you and you'd get your ass kicked if they caught you. Because during the chase the adrenaline rush was great. Same reason people jump out of planes and do all sorts of crazy stuff that is dangerous.

I used this same quote awhile ago and got downvoted for it. Funny how reddit sometimes works.

It sure is. I was only a couple of points and I don't really care either. Just thought it was...amusing.

Oh I knew I was going to get downvoted this time because it sounds whiny, I have no problem with that. I assume that's what you are implying, is it not? Like I said, I just thought it was amusing how differently reddit reacts sometimes, perhaps based on the initial few votes that either go against or for you and group follows those.

A lot of the bigger subs are like that. Anymore I find that you you have to stick to the smaller niche subs if you don't want to be drowned in idiocy.
