En route to our car after morning mass, I eyed a potato bug which was traveling half-way towards the soil/bush area to our right. It was on our path and I stopped to block my parents and Senora Josie from stepping on it. I had to nudge it a little bit with my flat/black/vinyl/cheap shoes.
“Thou shalt not kill”
Maw pulled/whispered to Senora Josie that I don’t like killing critters. She then pulled me aside/asked: “Do you eat chicken?” I replied: “I didn’t kill the chicken.”
The point in this morning’s “exercise/test” was to show that the intention NOT to kill for the sake of convenience, fun, impatience, whatever, meant more to me than just eating for survival. This especially is meant for us GIANTS to respect the tiniest critters that happen to CROSS our paths and to allow them safe passage from harm/danger.
