The Love of a SlugUpdated: May 17th, 2008
Created: 22/04/08The only thing I want to share is life; yet I am so devoid of the ability to do so, that I can't even relate with any true love even to a slug. For when a slug challenges me for food, being the greater power, I pick it up and throw it into another field so I can kill the carrot rather than leave the slug to the killing. I'm immersed in fighting with slugs over who can eat a radish. Hardly a quality of life for as life is eternal there's no need to compete for life. My existence is just a competition with other creatures to get the best pickings from our incessant killing, so there is no time or space to share life with others. Live is not a shared experience, and whilst I hold on to the comforts, security and material pleasures my conciousness demands there will be no end to my killing, so am in no position to criticise another for their killing more than me. However I do resent being press-ganged into agreeing to support others demands, just as those poorer than me resent my exploitation of their frailty
