No worries, just be smart and protect your food. That's all they want. I've never lost a crumb to a bear and I look back at my many encounters with them as life-long memories.
Things are much better since the 90's after major investments in bear boxes, locking dumpsters, bear canisters, and public education. Back in the day, this was not the case. The biggest baddest bear I've ever seen was in the mid-90s, standing in an unlockable dumpster, gorging on trash at Loon Lake, Tahoe NF. I took a picture from about 100 ft and the flash really pissed him off. It was the only time I really felt threatened by a bear. The next year he broke into the campground host's trailer (when they were gone) and that was it for him.
Bottom line: We can coexist. Follow the rules for food storage. If it comes down to it, defend your food, they can be deterred. If you lose your food, shame on you but it belongs to the bear - don't steal from the bear. Its not just about you, a fed bear is a dead bear.
