Philosophy on Bug- and/or Spider-Killing

dixie · 09-12-2011, 03:30 PM

I do a lot better than before. I used to panic, especially over spiders, and would do the "fling, freak out" thing. I don't panic like I did before, and normally can leave them to go about their business, or move them outside if possible. I learn a lot of good philosophies about "live and let live" that I try to practice. I try to be a lot more observant and respectful of the environment around me. Although if a spider is on me I do still shake my shirt, because I'm not good with spider identification and worry, since we have poisonous ones here.
