You see small rabbits, the moment you approach themthey raise their ears.

All the time they are afraid because they know that they are weak.

So, that is the way they relate to the world that everything is there just to kill us and they jump away or run away at the noise.

Have you seen mice and rabbits? What do they do? They run away and that is their way of relating to the world.
