I:A strange thing.The night before last night when I went back to my apartment I found 4 or 5 bugs in the bathroom. I decided to use a new method that I got when I learnt Buddhism to get them away.So I spoke to them politely,"Bugs,can you please go back to the place where you are from? This is my bathroom and I want to use it.I don't want to hurt you but I can't avoid stamping on you.So can you please leave here? "In order to make them understand I repeated this for 3 or 4 times.After about 1 and a half hours when I went back to there they disappeared and never came back. I am not sure if this is coincidence. I think maybe even bugs we should respect them and we can discuss with them.
He:How come bugs never listen to me? It may be that since I'm scared of them, I'm running away and they can't hear me talking to them. So the bugs really haven't been back?
I:They really never have been back.Did you also talk to them? Did you talk to them respectfully and politely?
He:I guess I never really talked to them. It was easier to spray chemicals than talk to them.
I:If you can get them away by talking to them,why not try it? Don't you think talking to them is better than killing them?
He:There were too many of them and I felt threatened. They should know to leave without me telling them.
I: Did you know what they wanted? Then how come they would know what you wanted? You had to communicate with them.
He:I know they were uninvited. They should have asked to come in.
I:Who would say the globe only belongs to our human being? Did you ever tell them that the house is yours?
He:So by that theory, we do we remove harmful bacteria from our bodies? Doesn't disease and illness have a right to exist?
I:They do have a right to exist.They stay in our bodies for a certain reason.If you treat them nicely the harmful bacteria will turn to be unharmful eventually so you get cured.Didn't you tell me that you never go to hospital when you are sick? That's a good example.One the contrary,if you try all your best to kill them they will mutate and become more harmful.That's why when we use too much antibiotics our healthy situation will become worse and worse.
He:I don't go to the hospital, but I'll drink plenty of juices to flush out the bacteria.
I: How come juices can flush out the bacteria?
He:I'll drink plenty of fruit juices that have vitamin C. Vitamin C is supposed to be good for healing the body
I:At what kind of situation will you drink fruit juices?
He:I usually drink them every day. When I'm sick, I'll drink more orange juice and grapefruit juice because they have more vitamin C.
I:Do you think animals are inferior to our human? Or they are just here to feed our human? I am not wanting to offend you but I hope to know what's your opinion on it.
He:I think animals are here to assist humans. Whether it's the work they are used for (how farmers used them in the old days) or how they are a source of food, they are here to assist. Why would I be offended?
