some days I like mosquitoes more than people

 



Some days I like mosquitoes better than people.


I know, you're like, “Are you crazy? Mosquitoes suck your blood.

They spread all kinds of diseases. Malaria, West nile, Zika and

many others.”


Yeah, that's true but Mosquitos don't know that, They’re just being 

who they are. They suck blood to survive to procreate they’re

species.


As a species, humans seem to like to kill each other. It started with

throwing rocks at each other and then shooting arrows and spears, to

guns and bullets, to airplanes dropping bombs, and firing

missiles, to nuclear bombs that can wipe out not only all of us

humans on earth, but also all mammals, birds, reptiles,

insects including mosquitoes.


I don’t hate people. I love my family and friends and most people

I meet on the street. And certain individuals have called out for 

non violence, and have developed cures for diseases, and work

compassionately to care for the wellbeing of others less fortunate than

they are. We can do good things.


But there are some days when I like mosquitos better than people.

Not everyday, but some days.
