<p>of trouser.&#8212;- M m m ?</p>
<p>I slapped it over the trouser. &#8212;&#8212; <span style="color:#008000;"><strong>What came out and </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>dropped on the floor was a wasp. </strong><span style="color:#000000;"> (By the way,  I didn&#8217;t</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><span style="color:#000000;">know, the wasp here is so hairly. &#8212;&#8211; Click photo to see )</span><strong><br />
</strong></span></p>
<p>I realized, I&#8217;ve just killed a queen wasp who seemed to seek</p>
<p>a place to hide and wait the next spring.</p>
<p>I can guess, inside of my trouser must be warm and good</p>
<p>place to hibernate &#8212;&#8212; though &#8212;&#8212; ? , its not very</p>
<p>convenient place for me at all.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212; Still, it could have created a beautiful story <span style="color:#008000;"><strong></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>&#8221; A  Zen Buddhist kept sitting, in order not to disturb a wasp sleeping inside of his trouser, </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>and waited the next spring &#8220;</strong></span> &#8212;&#8212; how heart warming nice story.  😀</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be jokey,  I&#8217;m a convicted notorious potato killer and terminating the life potential of 40~50 Kg of</p>
<p>onion etc every year.  I&#8217;m not such generous warm-hearted existence. <strong> I&#8217;m living on the sacrifices of</strong></p>
<p><strong>millions of another lives,  not mention the billions of germs came into my body and encountered</strong></p>
<p><strong>the T-cell in my white blood.</strong>&#8212;&#8212; I wouldn&#8217;t pretend to be any special noble creature with sweet words.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just an another life in the food chain and the minute part of the Dharma in this world.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>Long time ago I read a story &#8221; A Jain holy man <strong>offered himself to a tiger</strong> and eaten by the tiger&#8221;&#8212;&#8211; ? ? ?</p>
<p>Was he intentionally walked into a forest to meet a tiger on purpose ? &#8212;&#8212; I quite doubt of it.</p>
<p>And when he was attacked,  was there any another choice, otherwise not be eaten ?</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t think so neither.  Even holy man was just a part of the Dharma.  To the eyes of tiger he was just</p>
<p>another play &#8212;&#8212; yet as a story, we can make up anything sound nice.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ffffff;">&#8212;&#8212;</span></p>
<p>Anyhow, see the season (as the rest of wasps are dead already) and her body size, it must be a queen.</p>
<p><span style="color:#008000;"><strong>Its mean, not just a wasp, I&#8217;ve terminated her potential whole family.</strong></span> (and her ancestors as well)</p>
<p>But the question is, &#8212;&#8212; why she choose to sneak into my trouser ?   There must be somewhere</p>
<p>another warm corner in my flat.  She should know, such place was the last place to choose ?</p>
<p>Or am I smelly &#8212;&#8212; smell of flower ?    I don&#8217;t think so.  😀</p>
<p>Unlike blood sucking female mosquito, most insects avoid to encounter animals &#8212;&#8212; so, was she</p>
<p>thought I&#8217;m a kind of furniture ?  Am I  😀</p>
<p><strong><span style="color:#0000ff;">Anyhow, to an unfortunate queen wasp, peaceful Nirvana for her</span>.</strong> (I hope, she didn&#8217;t leave</p>
<p>a marker to branding me as a public enemy of wasp and make them to attack me next season  🙂  )</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212; While I was editing this, on the other side of the world <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>in Chilean desert, last one of 33 miners</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>came out from the 2000 feet deep mine.</strong></span> &#8212;&#8212; one small life ended here, yet 33 men were survived.</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"><strong>Congratulation. Viva Chile.</strong></span> 🙂  ( It was an extraordinary story but not just a story.  It was the fact )</p>
<p><span style="color:#0000ff;"><strong>___/\___</strong></span></p>
