& WHY?\n\nI noticed it earlier. We have a bad ant problem in the kitchen (ever since it rained hard) & my mom put poison traps on the floor. I saw one oversized ant & realised it was an ant carrying a dead body off to somewhere. The ant seemed lost. I felt bad, thinking that the ant was going to take the body to a resting place or something. Needless to say, I went ahead & killed him off too. lol \n\nI FEEL GUILTY. The only things I feel right in killing are damn flies!

I believe they carry them back to the nest where they are eaten for nourishment. To them its just protein and its much easier to come by

I've never SEEN anything, but I've FELT a lot of stuff.\nThere are certain areas in my house that just don't feel right: the fireplaces in the living and dining room; when you're standing in the kitchen and looking down the two steps and through the door into my bedroom (which is a re-converted garage); and the part of the driveway under the avocado tree beside my room. Everytime I'm in any of these places at night I feel someone behind me, almost as if they're going to touch my neck above my shoulders.\nAnother incident I had was when I was 12. My elder sister and I were walking to the La Puente Mall after watching a movie in the theater. We had about a mile walk down a winding business street running paralell to the 60 freeway. It was dark, darker than we thought it would be. And thirteen years ago there were only bushes and trees near the sidewalk, with the few buildings quite a distance away. As we were walking this little white pick up truck comes down the street really slow, crawling along with his headlights on. As soon as he catches sight of us, he accelerates and pulls into the driveway we just passed, and jumps out of his car with his truck still running and his lights on. I could hear his feet crunching through the leaves on the sidewalk and I started to pray because I was so frightened, too frightened to run. I asked my Guardian Angel to protect me and my sister, to wrap us in his wings and hide us from this evil man's eyes. As soon as I was finished the footsteps turned direction abruptly! The man ran back to his car, jumped in, and tore off down the street in the opposite direction.\nDid he see something? An angel perhaps, wrapping two girls in his wings?\nI don't know.

hmmm feel sorry for a rude inarticulate silver spoon frat boy who has uses our Constitution as toilet paper, gotten us into a war for profit,  pandered to his "have and have mores" corporate cronies, trashed our environment, embarrassed us in front of the entire world community and has demoralized our beloved country with constant spew of fear mongering?\n\num ... i don't think so.  tho perhaps i should follow the strings to the puppet master's hand and direct my angst towards Darth Cheney instead.

I currently live in a log home and get carpenter ants all the time. I wipe the walls with bleach water as soon as I see one and they don't come back for a year. I try to wipe the walls with bleach water at least 2times during the summer(once to get rid of them and the second time to keep them away).\n\n\nJust thought I would let you know that rmaylaura is interested in ya. I seen a question she asked and she wants you to take notice in her. To bad I was hopin' I caught your eye. I guess too little too late;( Also I have a question for ya. Just click on my profile and it will be under the questions I asked.

My brother's favorite pillow, he's resting in peace now.  I accidentally left it in a hotel room on the bed, one of the maids took it away thinking we had one too many of the hotel's pillows.  When we got back to the room, I cried, yelled, and had a emper tantrum, but there was nothing they could do for me, it was gone.  Maybe it was good for me somehow to be parted from it so I could move on and away from my long period of mourning.

I don't think it's weird.  I've always read gross books about serial killers and looked at pictures of dead bodies but if I hear about animal testing or abuse I freak out.  I can't deal with stories about animals getting hurt unless I know there is a happy ending.  I've been this way my whole life.  It's just the way I am and most of my friends feel the same way.

you had to go and make me feel guilty, Azra :(\n\n\n**i do see food as a blessing but i am definitely guilty of wasting it. i've always thought of giving it to a homeless shelter...... but i suppose i've never got the initiative to actually do that. \n\ninshallah your question will motivate me to take action\n\nGod bless you for your consciousness and peace to all\nSakina

I don't think so. But I know when I dishonor either of them, I may be happy about it at the moment, but in the end I feel the guilt. Sometimes when I think about how much/the look on their face of disappointment, I get mad/frustrated with myself for not knowing better.

Oh No, our first argument as Friends!\nI was raised into a hunting family, we hunted for food, not pleasure, we didn't trophy hunt, but if it was a trophy animal it was a plus. I haven't hunted in about three years, because i am not in need of the food they provide, but if the need arises I'll have to do it again. The pleasure I receive is not from the hunt, but rather being out in nature. I actually feel bad about the kill. Now, I also believe in culling the herds, it gets the sick ones out, eradicating Wasting Disease (it's like Mad Cow Disease) is a high priority for me.\n   I would much rather have 5,000 killed by hunting than 15,000 die of starvation when there is way to many for their particular environment and not enough food to go around...starving to death has gotta suck! Now about that church thing..I dunno if they do that or not! The people who kill for food far outweigh those who trophy hunt.

I was reading this book and it really made me think about my actions and the actions of those around me.  This guy had a near death experience and he talked about having his life review, during it he talked about experiencing his actions on those around him. He said that he felt what they felt because of his actions. With that said, I would rather not have to feel pain that I caused on another person even if I was justified. I think that in the end as long as I do the right thing everything will be as it should. I know how I have felt when others have wronged me, it hurts, sometimes physically and sometimes emotionally. I don't like it. I think that the wisest thing to do is turn it over to the Lord, he will be the perfect judge. It's not for us to do, especially with our limited knowledge.\n\nAlso I think that it just feels good to do that, I have had to find forgiveness with a few close friends who have hurt me badly. The great thing is that I sleep good at night. It's not good to carry that burden around, holding on to a grudge. Letting go of it gives you peace.

ants have six legs, so if they loose one or two they are still fine. And they don't feel the same kind of hurt than we do (at least they don't have pain receptors of a type which is comparable to ours), so an ant with a damaged or even missing leg may just walk on without being too much bothered by it. Watch their behavior, it will tell you how bad they feel (give it a minute or two).\n\nSo if you just damaged one of its legs, you should let it live, because it still can live on quite nicely. If you stepped on part of its body it is probably kinder to kill it completely because it is not going to be able to live on anyway.

Aww! How sad...such an old oak, murdered.\nIt's not really bad 'Karma', but bad practice. But, I suppose in this 'civilised society', things like that just get in the way of us raping the Earth for our conveniences...\n\n(I'm not getting at you, by the way...I just really think that's a sad loss.)

Dear Lord I am scared of spiders and ticks.  I had a cousin that got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick bite when I was little.  I've been scared of anything with a bunch of legs that looks spider like since then.  I couldn't get in the shower the other day because a spider was in it.  I was late to work because I couldn't get it to wash down the drain.  Sad, but true.

Yes, all of us have had bad days, but few of us have experienced grieving over a murdered child. My sympathies and thoughts are with you!\n\nWe all feel alone sometime, and we all try to deal with that in our own ways. Sometimes by endlessly seeking distractions, sometimes by facing our own fears, doubts, anxieties...\n\nBut life requires that of us. Growth is almost always uncomfortable and sometimes very painful, but it's pain for something, if we're honest, if we're true to ourselves and if we genuinely care about the meaning and effect of our lives.\n\nI would much rather experience the pain of facing myself... and accomplishing something of substance in my life... then run away from myself... and at the end of it all, look back and think... "What was it all for? What real difference did I make?"\n\nGood luck to you.

Absolutely, yes! I got stung by one when I was about 6 years old and I will never forget it. It got stuck in my hair on the top of my head and then stung me while I was trying to feed corn to some ducks at a well known garden facility. I felt like my head was going to explode. I cried for hours and was given special green ointment to relieve the pain by the garden owners. So yes, they absolutely sting. They just try to seem cool to you because maybe you look like a flower. =>

I can't tell you what you saw, since I wasn't there.  If your gut tells you to get away from a situation, you should.  You did the right thing.  I think that sometimes we sense things on a level that is not cognitive.  I was once waiting for a bus, and my gut told me I needed to get out of the area, even though there was nothing that was obviously wrong.  I left, and it's a good thing I did.  The next day I saw on the news that a woman was raped and murdered.  She was last seen waiting at that stop.  What I am trying to say is if you felt that those people were evil, they probably were.
