perception

Morning I was looking at small spiders, ants and lizards. The first instinct is to drive them off. I was also trying to see their perception about human. They might have an image of 'annoying monsters'. Always the monsters chase them away. At time spray chemicals or set hazardous mechanical, electrical devices on them. Doesn't allow them to lead a peaceful life, the nest they construct is destroyed in fraction of seconds.

If only we could listen to their conversation, it would be really interesting.

I think that is how the first chapter in one of Robert Fulghum's book begins ( see http://www.barringtonmiddle.org/C14/Mr%20Simkins/Document%20Library/2.2%20-%20The%20Lady%20and%20the%20Spider.pdf )
I wonder if our planet is just a little piece of dirt in some giant's kitchen - each time he cooks, a few droplets of water falls on planet earth and we see it as rain... each time he cooks something, we complain of 'global warming'.
I wonder if we will find out the 'truth' someday.
