Philosophy on Bug- and/or Spider-Killing

Tuff Stuff · 07-30-2015, 11:06 PM

I have this bad feeling that if reincarnation is real..i'll be reincarnated as a bug or spider..that should teach me,huh

No really,there are some bugs/insects i don't kill like ladybugs,grasshoppers,praying mantis,those are some i won't harm.

I haven't killed any bugs lately but i have killed tons of spiders,the biting ones for sure.

I have a crab spider in my bedroom,if he stays out of my way he'll live.

well... My only question is.. Is it going to hurt me? If no, then I either move it or leave it alone.. Spiders are awesome..like watching them actually.. Mosquitos fall in the hurt me file, so they get smacked wracked and sprayed .. House flies fall in the gross file.. Same result as previous.. Bees.. Carefully escort out the door, (did you know there is a shortage ? They are dying off in alarming rates) snakes.. Rock.. And that's my other answer. 😀

If I came back as a bug, I'd probably want someone to kill me because I'd throw up every time I saw my arms and legs.

I try not to kill anything deliberately but given there are estimated to be some 30000 living things in every square inch of dirt, I am probably a mass murderer.

It's only murder if it was cute before you killed it.

Yah but it's hard to forget that even the ugliest one had a mom that loved it.

Rest easy in the knowledge that your life would be very, very short. Hours.....days,....3-6 months for a German cockroach.....a year or two for female spiders....less for male....as long as you didn't come back a cicada. Well, you'd be stuck with yourself then.

I kill snakes, can't stand them and rarely ever do I have to but sometimes, the poisonous ones get wayyyy to close to me(like on my porch or yard).
I kill spiders and flies if they are in my apt. I can't stand the pesky things. Bees are dying off and farmers need them to pollinate for our food resources so bees are escorted out the door and shooed away off my porch. Wasps on the other hand, don't stand a chance, I'm allergic to some of them.
And Ground hornets........oh hell no.... DIE Mother fucker DIE.... crunch crunch crunch when you step on them.
