Once, I'd deliberately held myself from killing a mosquito as a form of mental experiment, and I was suprised to realize I was palpitating with anger! I killed it like always.<br /><br />I wouldn't mind if a mosquito would just bite, but the itch that follows is just irritating.<br /><br />Well written! I'll think of this post each time I kill a mosquito! ;)<br /><br />Take care.Ketanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-87859940235434910062009-05-15T02:27:00.000-03:002009-05-15T02:27:00.000-03:00Grab that worm and lets go fishinGrayquillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03118855928142920785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2233962479293542965.post-60235082273378950462009-05-04T21:17:00.000-03:002009-05-04T21:17:00.000-03:00your sweet kindness toward helpless creatures does not surprise me...
