of ants and people...


somehow, people can be like ants... we work and work yet do not realize what we're working for. my parents were like that. mom learned her lesson after the financial crisis. my dad still remains ant-like: stubborn, working doggedly without that much of a goal, doing things without considering the risks.

anyway, i caught myself working like that last night... in hopes of catching a deadline... which i found out, this morning, was moved to monday.

ok... a lot of you might be wondering why i wanted to write about ants. well, here's the story:

yesterday, i had champorado. after eating, i put the empty bowl outside for the maids to pick up. then, i set out to work. a few hours later, i stopped work for some food. i picked up the bowl to bring it to the sink. it was crawling with ants. i brought it to the sink and flushed it with water. i could almost imagine the ants to screaming "AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! We're drowning! We're drowning!" While they were drowning, i found one ant crawling on my arm. Without thinking about it, i squashed it.

I may seem cruel to ants, but this seemingly mundane thing made me realize that we should work like ants but not think like them. Watch the movie ANTZ and see why we shouldn't think like ants :)

til next time
