It's so hard to take the path of least resistance.
Last week I had such a moral dilemma about saving a lizard's life or letting the bird eat it (or take to her babies). Who am I to choose who will live, right? I wasn't fast enough to even make a decision in that case, but it bugged me the whole day. Or maybe more, since I'm still thinking about it.
How can I just let the bird eat him? In the other hand, the bird also needs a meal to survive. Arghhh!
Today, I sat at Subway, eating my lunch, and a big ant in the corner of the room caught my attention. She was climbing the glass wall and falling. Climbing again, getting a little higher, and falling... This went on for about 20 minutes, each time she was making a little more progress. What a tenacity (That in itself was already a lesson).
But then she got all the way to the top and fell. She was clearly looking for a way out. I looked down on the corner of the floor where she kept falling and found 3 other ants there, dead.
Then, I could not resist and became the crazy one in the restaurant saving an ant.
Took me few tries and maneuvering to get the ant, but I got her out.
As she walked outside, free, I could actually feel her relief. So, I patted myself on the back and went on with my day, walking just a bit taller.
