Mary asks…
I'm 24, have a professional job, and I still tend to flatten a bug if I see it crawling around my feet. If I'm playing tennis and I see one on the court, I'll be honest: I'll probably slide my foot over it to squash it. I've never had a problem stepping on them, even throughout college, and I've stepped on a lot of them over the years. I know that some people consider it wrong, but it seems pretty normal to me. Most of my male friends don't think twice about planting a foot over some busy anthill on the sidewalk, nor do I, and I've done that plenty of times. Hell, the more exoskeletons gunked up on my shoe, the better. I can definitely think of more painful ways for a bug to die than getting instantly crushed beneath some guy's gigantic sneaker. Why would it be wrong? The rationale of "I do it because I can" might be the one used by bullies, and it holds true somewhat. Does that mean I view bugs as less significant than me? Well, yeah I guess I do. But is that necessarily wrong? I don't personally think so, it's an advantage of being bigger. It isn't as if they are little people.
This is only one of the MANY times that you've asked this question-with almost the same prose. The answer is the same as before - because it is brutish to kill for its own sake(for pleasure,perhaps?). What other useless things and thoughts occupy your spare time?

Hey, no skin off my nose. A practicing psychiatrist might find your little story there full to the brim with interesting information about your mental state, but I'm not in that business.
