You see, our experiences shape us. They affect who we become. And sometimes we catch ourselves in an act so automatic that we can't remember when it started or why. At times like this, we are struck by what such an act might say about us.
This week, I experienced such a moment.
And that, right there, is what led to my Profound Moment of the Week. I was ready to kill this spider, to assume that it deserved to die, just because it looked a little bit like an ant. You know, coloring and segmentation and all that. I saw this spider and my brain screamed "ANT. DIE."
And so the spider lives to creepy crawl another day.
All I have to say is that if that thing really is a super soldier born of some horrific genetic combination of ant and spider, bred specifically for the purpose of killing me, I'm gonna be really irritated.
Note: I was only about ten minutes late for work that day.
The Only Other Note for this Post: I know that I misspelled "psychological." Don't look at me like that!
Another Note which Indicates that I Lied about the Previous Note Being the Only Other Note for this Post: By "light plate," I meant "electrical outlet." Same diff, right?
