Disproving the Law of Displacement -Daryl Temkin, Ph.D.
Forcing a lion and a lamb to lie down together is not a problem for the lion, but it is a big problem for the lamb.
No matter how many promises of peaceful behavior the lion should claim to commit, upon its first violation, the world will immediately excuse the lion for acting like a lion.
All that the lamb can do is wait to be a victim, and the world will say, "Why should the lion be expected to be so perfect?"

Not really. If the lion makes a promise, his failure to heed it will be pointed out. It just won't help the lamb any. Now, if the lion believed, he might be shot if he kills the lamb, the lion and lamb might indeed peacefully coexist.
Ah, your midrash [commentary] is appreciated...
