Many are the shrieks heard about the giant, menacing, evil bugs on kitchen, bathroom and bedroom floors. Countless are the shoes, books and other weapons used against these little pests. Each day, the plethora of innocent bugs that are annihilated increases. My fellow human beings, if there was one commandment I could share with all of you it would be this: thou shall not slay innocent bugs. This commandment is built on 3 axioms.
Axiom one: We can learn from these tiny life forms. For instance, these little pests could teach us the value of the home and family. Take the ant for example; working tirelessly to make sure everyone is taken care of is their main goal. The ant is a prime example to humans about how to care for others.
Axiom two: You mess with one of them; you mess with all of them. Bees and wasps will attack anyone who causes harm to a member of the colony and family. The bees show a fantastic model about how to protect those who mean the most to us.
Axiom three: There is never an obstacle too big to climb. For example, spiders never let something that is twenty times larger than them get in their way. Anything we want to accomplish can be done, even climbing the largest mountains or overcoming the biggest challenges.
Next time you go to stomp a bothersome bug, give it a second thought. Try to learn from the mini nuisances. Set aside your shrieks and fears and take in the model that these innocent species are trying to teach.
