Who Am I

Who Am I? Who am I when a I take a broom squash spiders, gnats and flea? I like them not, they creep me out. I gently cup the butterfly, the bee and beetle bug, I send them off and rescue them a choice I make each day. Oh who am I when I squish a fly, roach, wasp or slug? They do but what they’re meant to do, but still I can’t abide. I like them not they bother me. I wipe them out and when I do, Who am I when I do?

This morning I hesitated crushing a cockroach...by that time it escaped! For the first time I thought if I cannot put back life why am I taking it and who am I?...:) Sunita
