Bugs

Bugs are nasty... Bugs are ugly... Bugs have no use...

This is what I always have thought. Today I went to a waste water treatment plant. I saw all of Miami's waste water pour into these huge tanks, it was pretty disgusting and it really smelled. Anyways, the plant is all about feeding and taking care of the bugs that are in the tanks because they break down all of our organic matter (Which is a nice word for all of our shit).

You ever wonder where all of your kaka goes? You ever wonder where your dirty shower water ends up? Well it goes somewhere, and you know who eventually cleans that water so that we can re-use it? BUGS! (Well some chlorine helps too) Those dirty, nasty, disease carrying pests. They protect us and break down our organic matter and turn it into methane which can be used for energy. They clean our water and make our kaka worth money! Don't bag bugs next time you get bit by one, or else they might get pissed and stop making our kaka worth so much.

It seems like there is a deep lesson to be learned here. Never judge something by its face value. You never know to whom you are talking or what potential something or somebody really has. We are all in need of one another at deep levels that we cannot see right away. Don't underestimate bugs or anything else. Think about that, Bugs rock!

Yeah bro everything is interconnected.

Have you ever heard of Jainism? It is a religion that originated before Buddhism and they were all about not killing any living things. Some of their hard core priests used to walk with a little broom sweeping in front of them so they wouldn't kill any bugs as they walked along a path. I think they did this because they thought that all living things had souls, but even if we don't agree with everything they teach I think we can learn a lot from the Jainists.
