escaped morbidity.

ever since being vegetarian, i also believed in NOT KILLING ANIMALS. this includes insects which are the most troublesome ones coz they live around me.. especially beetles. argh!!!

incident 1:
was cleaning my utensils at the dispensing lab and found like >20 ants (not mayi..) in the utensils basket.. felt rather unhygenic about it and the ants kept crawling out to the table coz i left the basket in the table... and so i "dusted" all the ants out on the floor hoping that they will find a better place on their own accord..

to my horror, the lab technican came to my bench area and tried to change the peppermint water bottles. my heart sank as she walked past the area where i dusted the ants.. did i like jus killed the ants??? and then edwin came and sat down to complain about his emulsions. ................... i'm really sorry ants.

incident 2:
saw a cobweb spider in my room this morning and saw it again when i came back. took a few sec of my life to contemplate if I shud take away the mere life of the cobweb spider for my own mental comfort. was all ready with my stack of rough papers but i didn't kill it in the end. decided to use tissue instead to try to grab it and throw it out.. but then it jumped and disappeared into the laser printer.. oh hahah ok i didn't see anything then..

----------------------------------------

oh by the way, fish died.

the fish who bit me in sec 4 and left me crying over a stupid reason like: y was it so ungrateful?

and i escaped the bitter procedure of having to dispose its body.. 2nd time since i escaped such morbidity. the first time was when i left my fighting fish at my fren's hse and it died w/o me.. and this time round the fish also died w/o me..

irresponsible pet owner?

maybe. haven't been putting enough effort to save it.. and made me realise that its not whether u put in effort or not, its whether u put in ENOUGH effort or not.. that makes quite abit of difference..

but i'm thankful that they left w/o me.. i hate clearing dead fish. esp big ones who most probably died a morbid death of either being suffocated or stomach being invaded by bloody parasites.

thou shall not kill. thou juga shall not aid to kill.
