How do you feel about the Samuel Johnson quote "(H)e who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man"?

How do you convince your fellow human beings that when you bare your fangs at them it is a friendly grin and not a blood-thirsty girn (https://www.thefreedictionary.com/girn)?

Axing for a friend, totally of course.
