Last night, I ran into the biggest spider I had ever seen. As I was killing it with bug spray, I couldn’t stop thinking about how long it must have taken to reach that size. In just 10 seconds, I had taken its life. I understand the benefits of spiders, and I feel so bad about killing it. However, at the same time, I couldn’t just live with it. I’m not a vegetarian, but these moments in life make me realize the extent of the damage I have caused to the environment.
