Ant

My initial thought on the black ant incident, is that I do not believe I would have thought to handle it in the manner that Mary Cowhey did. Over the course of the day, if I see an ant crawling around my bedroom or kitchen surfaces, my most immediate reaction is always just to squash it.

Reading “Black Ants and Buddhists” has made me realize that I am very fortune to have all the things that I have. I am able to identify with the teacher in chapter 2 because when I was growing up I didn’t always have all the things that I wanted, but my parents did everything for my sisters and me in order to have a great childhood.
