I saw a beetle this morning on its back. I flipped it over so it could crawl away only for a woman to stamp on it in disgust. I hope karma is watching

Perhaps the universe will decide to her help in a moment of vulnerability, only to stamp on her.

@nameless1 Japanese beetles were the best when I was a kid. Great "pops" !
@nameless1 I hope someone squishes you.

@LordShadowfire oh get over. I'm sure you've killed a bug before.

I rescued a butterfly from a spider's web. One of its wings was a little bit damaged but it could still fly. 😊
I felt like karma reacted immediately as it stayed for a moment on my leg, stretching its wings and regaining some energy before it flew away.
@TinFoilHat I tried to rescue an ant from a spider once, when I was like 6 years old. I was too late, though. The ant had been bitten. It just stumbled around and died as I watched.

I forget who it was, probably Darwin or Gould, who said that god must be inordinately fond of beetles. There are so many kinds and colors and sizes it's dizzying.

She may’ve already had that experience. Nowadays most people I know no longer feel the need to kill an insect just for existing, especially if it’s not in their house. 🥺

@bijouxbroussard It’s my belief that how we treat life we deem to be beneath us is the biggest indicator of who we are.
@Castenmas Probably so. And some people are broken, unfortunately.

Good man, If I ever see Ladybird/bug, Spiders, Woodlice I always try to help if I can.

Often I have picked up a worm wriggling in the middle of a pavement on a hot day, chucked it into a nice moist garden. Who knows how soon a bird will swoop and have a meal anyway......😀

We [i]are[/i] our karma. How we think, feel, respond, receive. We are what we understand.

Do you know what kind of a beetle it was? If it was a pest, I wouldn't blame her. Especially in a country.
Castenmas · M
@CrazyMusicLover Incorrect. The strawberries I’ve eaten this summer have all come from my own garden. But crushing a beetle in a railway station isn’t linked.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@Castenmas As I said, depends on what kind of a bug it is. I personally don't know about any particular species that would ruin strawberries but anybody who ever grew potatoes don't tend to tiptoe around potato bugs if they see one.
Castenmas · M
@CrazyMusicLover The beetle has as much right to the strawberries as I have.

That was nice of you.
I can't stand people who have no regard for living things insects or not.
I hope so. Not In a literal sense, but a metaphorical one. Someone helps her out of a financial bind, only for someone else to screw her over.
