There's plenty of folk as'd like to have a lion as a dæmon and they end up with a poodle. And till they learn to be satisfied with what they are, they're going to be fretful about it. Waste of feeling, that is.
The quote highlights the idea that many people desire to embody traits or characteristics that are grand or powerful, symbolized by having a lion as a dæmon. However, the reality for many is that they end up with something much less impressive, like a poodle. This serves as a metaphor for personal aspirations versus reality.
The message encourages individuals to accept and be content with who they are. It suggests that yearning for something different can lead to unnecessary frustration and a waste of emotional energy. Embracing one's true self is key to finding fulfillment and peace.
