| Anonymous Coward User ID: 20489071 07/26/2012 03:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Last time it rained I was walking down a concrete path we have to our flower garden and heard a crunch - knew instantly I'd squashed a snail. Felt very sad about that, it was just about 4-5 days ago. I don't feel bad squashing ants, they swarm in my shower stall (???!!!) and since I'm avoiding pesticides, all I can do is wash them down the drain when they swarm. So my empathy hasn't extended to ants yet. But a lot of other non-pest bugs I really enjoy, and avoid causing harm. I'd rather not kill ants, but, don't want them on my feet. |

| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 20545776 07/26/2012 03:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have always had great respect for ants. They are fearless. They don't give a shit how big I am, they'll walk all over me anyway. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20550530 You have to admire guts and spirit like that. I never squish them if I don't have to. True indeed, yea we have to adimre that spirit I agree, we could learn from that too. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1445731 07/26/2012 03:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I came to my balcony and sat on the chair to smoke a cigare, and when I looked at the floor I saw him, stugling in pain, I probably trampled him with my feet. Suddenly I felt really sad for him, I picked him up and put it in my palm, he was rolling in my palm like a football player when he gets hurt, throwing himself along the field, I don't remember the last time I felt so sad for hurting even a human being. I held him in my palm and started crying, I don't know why this has never happened to me before, although I always care to not bash some little animal. And that sad felling owerflowed me as I was looking him strugling on my palm..I just feel sad.. I hurt him and I can't help him, I'm so big and powerful, he's so small, and yet I can't help him, I can't heal him, I can say I'm sorry but he won't understand me, it just makes me sad. That's all, you can laugh or whatever, but that little ant grew close to my heart and I love him, I do. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20545776 Must be a Ganja Cigar. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20419053 That's the same as you standing on an Ant, a perfectly natural process. Nothing that happens is not meant to happen, its all meant to happen. Yes i would, it's natural but still it doesn't mean it can't be sad.. |

Strict Jains, especially monks, sweep the footpath before walking on it to minimise the chances of treading on an ant. They carry a 'small broom or whisk with which to brush away gently any living creatures before one sits or lies down; the Sthanakavasi practice of wearing a mask stems from a desire to prevent even accidental ingestion of invisable creatures" [link to vegan.wikia.com] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18972139 Personally I never kill any insects or animals, they are all equal to me. Then have the spark of life inside them and who am I to take it away. That's what I was thinking before i picked him up, that exact thought accualy made me pick it up and gently place it on my palm and hoping he'll survive. Thank you for your thoughts, wonderful ones indeed. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20545776 all life is sacred, and looking at the ant you felt the oneness of all beings. you have an amazing compassionate heart. and if you think crying about stepping on an ant is strange, I apologize and pray for the roadkill lying on the highway. Once you see yourself in another living being, it's hard to unsee it. |
