Today, I saw a dead ant. It made me think about how brief and fragile life is, why we're all here, and whether it has a point. It was a piece of lint. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was absentmindedly playing with a piece of lint. When I looked at it, I realized that I had been rolling and squeezing a dead spider in my fingers for about five minutes. FML
Today, I got up, curtains still closed, and in the dim light noticed something dark on the floor, which wasn’t there yesterday. I turned on the light to find out what it was. A tiny ant hill. FML
Today, I sprayed down some ants in my house. In the sea of ant corpses was a single living ant seemingly cradling a dead one in its arms. I'm convinced I just became the villain in an epic tragedy. Now I have to live with my ant problem because I can't bear to tear another family apart. FML
Today, I woke up early to weird scratching and smacking noises. After gathering enough courage to check what it was, I found out it was just an ant stuck on a piece of paper. FML
Today, I came home after a long day at work, and decided to tidy up a bit before finally settling down to relax. I went to take the garbage out, when the bag split and out fell the trash along with hundreds of tiny red ants. FML
Today, I saw a wasp on the ground, apparently injured and unable to fly. It was being mobbed by ants and looked certain to die, so I stamped on the ants to save its life. At this point it sprung up, stung me, then flew off. FML
Today, I woke up to find pieces of a dead spider stuck in my braces. FML
Today, I went to visit my grandmother. My grandfather recently died, so I had gotten her a cat for comfort. Turns out in her sadness, she had forgotten about the cat. I found its remains being eaten by ants and birds. FML
Today, I woke up and found a small leg of what used to belong to a spider on the corner of my mouth. FML
Today, I realized how bored I am with life in general, as well as how bad my ADHD has gotten, when I saw a fly eating a crumb I dropped on the floor and watched it for two minutes straight. FML

Life is precious, we live and then we die. Everything in between must be enjoyed, no reason to live an unhappy and angry life, even if you're a piece of lint.

That would make me think of the Pink Panther theme song: Dead ant. Dead ant. Dead ant. Dead ant. Dead ant. Dead ant. Dead ant.

Well, life is still pretty brief and fragile whether you're a dead ant or a piece of lint.

You ever wonder why we're here? ... what? I meant why are we here, in this canyon? What was all of that stuff about God?

So, did you then ponder and reflect on the struggle and ultimate futility of cleaning?

Nope, no point in life. Like the ant, we grow up, work for a someone bigger than ourself, and die.
