What would be left of our tragedies if an insect were to present us his?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If we were to wipe out insects alone on this planet, the rest of life and humanity with it would mostly disappear from the land. Within a few months.
It is common knowledge now that we depend on insects for our continued existence; that, without key pollinators, the human population would collapse in less than a decade.
Because there is something helpless and weak and innocent - something like an infant - deep inside us all that really suffers in ways we would never permit an insect to suffer.
If we go on the way we have, the fault is our greed and if we are not willing to change, we will disappear from the face of the globe, to be replaced by the insect.
Both the cockroach and the bird would get along very well without us, although the cockroach would miss us most.
Insects are my secret fear. That's what terrifies me more than anything - insects.
We hope that, when the insects take over the world, they will remember with gratitude how we took them along on all our picnics.
I never kill insects. If I see ants or spiders in the room, I pick them up and take them outside. Karma is everything.
If a mosquito has a soul, it is mostly evil. So I don't have too many qualms about putting a mosquito out of its misery. I'm a little more respectful of ants.
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.
