My ingrained compulsion to kill bugs
    #19332565 - 12/27/13 11:03 AM (10 years, 1 month ago)

I am a man who believes that all is one, that every person, tree, bug, or object is part of me, which is to say part of everything, which Is what most people refer to as "god".  And yet, if i see a small critter scurrying across my floor, i impulsively smash it -- with only a postmortem consideration for the extension of myself I've just relinquished of its right to live out its natural life.

It saddens me. 

But at least I acknowledge the dissonance between beliefs and compulsions.  One day I shall overcome.



















:heart: I'm sorry, bug.

I don't like to kill bugs either

But sometimes they challenge you to battle and you must defend your honor

I either trap them then let them free outside or I just ignore then and let them continue scurrying on.

I remember in High School one of my friends would burn bugs with a torch lighter it made me wanna cry

I don't know if I'm insane or not but while i was locked away I realized that the humble fly just wants to be loved and accepted and they started letting me pat and stroke their wings and they even played with me but maybe those are the rantings of a mad man..I don't know but check this out:

I generally only kill bugs when there is a reason. Anything that will bite me, eat my plants or contaminate/eat my food I'll kill. Can't say it bothers me to do so, they wouldn't give a fuck if I died.

I only kill bugs when they really interfere with my well being. But cockroaches really creep me out. I still let them out if I can do so easily.

I'm glad you acknowledge that killing bugs isn't nice. (Nice may not be the best word, but I don't wanna get into the whole "technically you're killing a piece of yourself" argument).

I too am quite squeamish when I see bugs (spiders mostly), but think about it logically. Spiders kill mosquitoes. And I fucking hate mosquitoes. Since I've put this in my mind, I've recently been capturing spiders and putting them outside instead of squashin' em.

Actually, I don't even care if mosquitoes are part of the "all is one" mindset. Kill 'em. They spread disease and make us itch and (if you've ever been camping) you know how swarms of them can attack.


But yeah....we fear things much smaller than us for no real reason.

The stink bugs have forced me to not immediately smash bugs. There was one on my tooth brush the other day. Everytime it gets warm out they start gettin into shit.

If its a pest I'll get rid of it. If its a predator I'll keep it.  If its in my room and large enough to trap I will bring it outside. There are some spiders that stay in the corners of my bedroom and bathroom that I let stay.  Then there are these fast running ones that I see running across my ceiling.  I take those guys out with rubber bands.  They like to run across everything and drop down from above. Most likely to walk across my face while sleeping.  It gets bad if not kept in check.  Like I been lax with them then one year i had to kill 20 of those runners.  Now there is a couple survivors that mind there own business.  Probably brooding clutches :crankey:

I like bugs. I see them as little robots, but i like helping them if i can. I give spiders water, some species drink. I've rescued bees and fed them. I found a spider that had somehow got its leg stuck in its fang and i pulled it out with a pin.
I think my compassion is weird to most people. I used to take a alpha species approach but i've softened over the years. There's nothing here really that's dangerous.
I don't mind nuking pests, aphids/fungus gnats, those fuckers.

Wasps still freak me out a bit, i'm better than i used to be. My friend stood on a nest and i ran into a swarm of them when i was a kid. I sit and watch them cruising around plants now, they don't mean any harm.

We had a heat wave last July and i sprayed water all over the garden when i was doing the plants. i thought there must be thousands of satisfied little bugs having a drink. I'm glad the neighbors didn't ask me what i was doing.
