I’d like to know precisely what happens to insects
when they die. Sure you can offhandedly say they
just die, but neither you nor I really know that for sure.
Imagine if reincarnation were true and insects
evolved into higher lifeforms. Imagine if once you
or I were merely insects before we rebirthed up
to our human lives with no knowledge of what
we had been or where we had been before this life.
But maybe you are one hundred percent correct.
Perhaps when insects die, they just die and nothing more.
I’d like to see more for them beyond this life.
I’d like to see them have more like humans want more
when they pass on from this impermanent life.
But with some matters maybe I’m too much of an optimist,
too much of a dreamer, too much hoping for happy endings for all.
