“There are times I have sat in my room and watched a tiny insect cross the floor. Many a time, I have suppressed the urge to raise my foot and bring it crashing down on the insect. I have asked myself what exactly has the insect done to deserve such a cruel fate? I have done this with ants and even spiders. I will, of course, not spare flies and mosquitoes because these are man's sworn enemies. But there are these harmless tiny insects sometimes no bigger than a speck of sand but not less alive and complete and filled with a zest for life than you and I.”
