This is what we see daily; the contrast of wanting to be compassionate, and yet, the killer instinct there at the same time.

Yeah, we humans are sure complex. Thanks for the great insight, Caren! Best wishes, Gershon

So wise my friend. You should have been a teacher... your words are so clear and easy to understand... even for bugs... I speak several dialects.. I know... hugs... Ann

Ha, ha. I was a teacher for 30 years. Just retired 1/2 a year ago. Taught students from age 6 to 91, and from over 30 different countries (including the USA). What kind of dialects do you speak, Ann? Very interesting comment!! Cheers, Gershon

I was always intrigued by BUGS... I remember taking firefly's and putting their luminous glow on our nails, catching bees in bottles and hanging butterfly's on a thread off of my ceiling. I know, I was cruel...but I was a kid and learned my lesson after getting stung by a wasp...I guess I deserved that (lol) Nice write, Gershon. C.M.

Interesting! I had a kid in a 2nd grade class in 1991, who was fascinated by bugs. Couldn't get him to come in from recess, 'till one day I let him bring two bus into class. From that day on, I was his favorite teacher. :) At any rate, of course kids can be cruel in the 'State of Nature.' Rousseau was a dreamer! Locke had it right. Thanks for sharing your memorable boyhood experience, Charlie. Best always, Gershon

Thanks you so much, Eric. Very nice, what you wrote about me… And didn't I see your name atop the tongue-twister contest winners?! Congrats to you! :) Gershon
