weak apology

to the bug I crushed:
it was nothing personal,
just a cruel reflex.

I have a new saying -

Knowing is 1/3 of the battle.
Planning is 1/3 of the battle.
Doing (or doing something different) is the other third.

Awareness is important...so you can move forward!

Poor bug!

Agreed. And maybe the absence of mercy is from a lack of awareness, of both ourselves and others.

Nice! Good reference point for the way we often don't even take anyone or anything else into account when we act. Not conscious cruelty, just the absence of mercy.
