Be kind to insects.

Something that has always bothered me is the fact that most people dont value the life of an insect. I dont get it? Their life is just as important as an animal or a human in my opinion.

They are just trying to get by, doing their thing. And all of a sudden someone squishes them, its fucking disturbing humans can so easily take their life away like that. Like they are nothing. Just an annoyance.

Ive always tried to save every bug i find in my home by putting them outside. Or a poor beetle stuck on its back, I'll always flip them over so it can go on its way.

I can relate to flies, everyone hates them and they are annoying. But its not their fault they were born a fly. Sorry for the random vent, just a thought that was on my mind.

When I ruined my dream home with poisin cleaner I might be allergic to... I see bugs differently now. I stopped killing them thinking "you deserve to live more than I do. You do your life good. You're not a cripple ruining everything you love". I hate when flies harass my face with kisses... But they eat poop then feed birds. If it weren't for flues we'd have poop & rot everywhere. But I dislike them. I love spiders. They eat bugs and are amazing artists. Knitting death traps.

I guess this was too implicit, but I have actually heard at least one person who called themself a vegan say that plant's lives weren't worth considering because "they don't have nervous systems", which to me was a really fucked up thing to utter. I hard a hard time eating most anything that had been alive at one point (basically everything but all true fruit; looking at you, tomatoes and almonds and such), and to just sweep other forms of life under the rug because you don't understand the way it may suffer seemed to contrary to the point of this dietary choice.

A lot of vegans make this statement that they don't have nervous systems, so it's fine to eat them. It's technically true but it's still a living being for me. Personally, I don't want to take any life whatever it's an animal or plant to sustain myself. Though I know it's only a dream sadly. It's an example of the cruelty and unfairness of existence.

I feel so much pity for these poor creatures. I feel deeply sick when I harm them, it causes me to consume myself with bitter despair. A while ago I was moving rocks for a family member and I realized I was causing a 911 for the spiders who dwelled in them. I then went to the effort of trying to haphazardly move as many as I could from the ruble so that they would not be crushed. But I know many died that day due to my futile activities. This bothered me for days and I cried a lot over it. I really want to kill myself and never harm another creature again. We are all equals, there is no sense in fighting this pointless war. It is for the better that we all mutually put down the weapons and resign from the temptation to exist.

It was an accident, I'm sure the spider god forgives you (I'm actually not mocking you, I'd like to draw that... I wouldn't mind joining his worshippers)

I think all life is equal in value except for wasps and parasites.
