    ^that's cool man. I feel what you're saying, I dislike bugs, think they're ugly, but I try to live and let live. I was even feeding a spider that had built a web in my window a few years ago, because I felt bad that she had picked such a poor spot to catch insects.

    In a different light (and these aren't particularly my beliefs, just some thoughts), one can say this: an ant is totally ignorant of our existance, or at least of the size and quality of a human. We are completely off the map of, say, a spider, who knows only spider thoughts: vibrations on a silk string, wind currents, the sweet taste of liquefied bug guts. They're basically blind to most everything else. Well, isn't that how we describe God? Just some entity out there, a nearly-total unknown to us, unknowable even. So that makes us bug-like to God. Why should he give a shit about us, we're just ants on the sidewalk to him. So maybe we are treated as we treat others. I feed the spider, don't kill the bugs in my house...maybe God or karma will do the same for me.
