Why are elephants scared of mice?
Why are humans scared of spiders?
The other midnight I encountered a moth. Tall as my thumb. As I cautiously walked away from it, the moth flew into my face. Maybe it was trying to kiss me. Maybe it was in self-defense mode. Or maybe it mistaken my pale skin for the moon.
Whatever its intention, I jumped with surprise. I confess I squealed. I closed the door, isolating the moth in the bathroom.
It was just a moth. Why was I scared? Who’s a thousand times bigger?
Fear. It is a bug.
Our personal fear may look tiny to other people, but in our minds, it’s huge.
We give fear so much attention that it thinks its a superstar.
From an objective perspective, fear is just fear.
Yet our physical form affects our judgement.
If you were a fly, you’d have acrophobia. Not coprophobia.
If you were a tree, your entomophobia would be greater than peladophobia.
Or so you’d assume.
Who knew humans would be so frightened by spiders?
No fear is greater than another.
Fear is as great as you see it.
The next time you encounter fear, squish it.
It’s smaller than you think.
Silence of the Lambs??
People are afraid of bugs because we know we will be eaten by bugs one day. It’s an instant reminder of our mortality. Our lives are it is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. I’m not afraid of dying, I just don’t want to be around when it happens.
Time for a smoothie ^__^
Oh gosh. It’s hard to squish cockroaches though T-T
You don’t need to squish a roach. G-d didn’t give them the ability to fart. Take the old, smelly baking soda out of your refrigerator. Sprinkle it all over the floor at night. During the night the roaches will eat it and explode. In the morning vacuum your rooms well. It works.

Nice post!
“Why are humans scared of spiders?”
Because spiders don’t play

that is a misperception. they aren’t scared of mice..they avoid stepping on them because it feels like stepping on furry poop to them. no one likes to step on furry poop. 8)
