Do you smack a mosquito from your arm or let it drink?

[Loba]

I've thought about this question before killing them and always end up squashing them, but I am pretty lenient with most other bugs and will put them outside if I can.  Just not mosquitos... I do feel bad though, but only a little.

I’d hang a birdhouse.

Ego does not reside in the act of smacking the insect, but rather, in inspecting life as if it were an intellectual matter in which you have to prove your moral superiority over animals.

Have you not heard of those practices yet? That’s surprising…

Well, there was this porno called "cock-centration", but I dismissed the spiritual possibility because I thought porn was low consciousness.

Such a subtle yet intelligent and natural solution, in fact not even a solution, just the way nature is.

Yeah. Stayin in the woods for three months here really drives home the whole “man has no place to lay his head” factor. Got a plastic eagle hanging in the front to detour bats, a plastic hawk in the back that detours moles and groundhogs, lavandula to attract the butterflies, etc, etc. It really is wild. It’s a damage control game, never actually fitting in.

Man these kind of questions just make my OCD insane!

Anyways I will kill it generally unless I wanna practice increasing my capacity to Love!

BTW Insects don't feel pain the way larger animals do. But I prefer not to kill an living being unless I have to. 

Practicing love towards insects is an amazing thing. Society raised us to hate insects and be disgusted by them but they are just amazing creatures. I forced myself to start handling insects from cockroaches to beetles to earthworms and larvae and once you do that you start appreciating how beautiful they are, except for on time when I picked up thia beetle and it sprayed me with this nasty smelling oily material, it was disgusting ??

I grew up in the woods next to a pond. Trust me, the answer is both if you want to get anything done ever and don't even think about it. Spiders are holy though. Why? Because I say so.

I murder that little prick. The body through which dislike of the mosquito is felt is more powerful than the body that wants to feed. So it gets slaughtered like a sucka.
