Default Pity on the Ant

I was thinking the other day about how weird I am lol. This may seem random, but don't you ever feel bad for bugs? Alright, for instance, my house has some ant problems recently and we keep finding them. Whenever I find a bug in the house, I usually take the time to capture it and let it go outside rather than simply crushing it. When I crush it or flush it down the toilet or something, I always feel guilty or bad after. When I was younger I used to have fun by smooshing ant hills and all the ones that tried to escape. Now I feel bad...

And even society is fine with it. it's always ever so comical when somebody steps on a bug. People are fine with it, even my own family. But have you ever stopped to think what you're doing? Killing. Taking away an innocent life. And they can't help it, bugs and insects are oblivious to the fact that you don't want them in your house or something, they're just trying to survive. I know if you just let them free they could just come back into the house and such, but can you see why I have sympathy for them?

This is a totally random and wierd topic but what the hell.
