How I took my
revenge? I could
remember so vividly, I killed them with my bare
hands, destroyed their newly built territories –from
the queens to the labourers, red to black, to the
harmless. I know it had to be away from home (I did
not want my mother to know I had committed such a
crime). I identified a place at our back terrace with a
big, old, almond tree. My initial plan was to capture the
ant amongst its friends {ha! this will teach it a lesson!},
so that when I bring its dead body back, the ants will
feel a great loss.
I decided to kill it slowly. I decided to cut off one of its
legs with a pin and enjoy my vengeance. But, I was
surprised! After cutting one of its legs it started
struggling to stand on its other remaining legs. From
the way the ant was struggling, I could see that it was
suffering from much pain (a pain which I thought then
was excruciating than any bite). I was starting to feel
guilty.
The ant was so determined to fight for its life. It
performed a miracle there and then by standing up on
its remaining legs and slowly limping away from
me…the killer. It was then that I learnt my first lesson
from the teacher ant that, “never give up even in
the most uncompromising situations”. I was totally
ashamed of myself for trying to kill such a hero. Oh my
God!, it was dead. After watching the ant for few
minutes, to my surprise it was being carried away by
two other ants. That did it. Just watching that little
ceremony of the two caring ants, carrying a fellow ant
was enough to teach me a lifelong lesson, “Care for one
another”.
That day, I walked back home very slowly, thinking
about my experience with the ant. Later, I saw another
strange thing happen again, that sent shivers down my
spine. In daddy’s old chair, I figured an ant carrying a
flower stalk as load. I can’t believe it myself, but I
wasted nearly an hour watching the tiny ant carry the
huge load across our back terrace. I was confused
about where it was carrying the load to and for what
purpose.
Several times it was confronted by obstacles and after
a momentary pause, it would make the necessary
move. Staggering with the load, it came to a crack in
the concrete about 0.8 mm wide, at this point my
inquisitive eyes were widely opened.
Breathless anticipations, the ant stood contemplating
for a while; suddenly it laid its load gently across the
crack and walked over it, picked it up on the other side
and continued strenuously. Can you imagine! I was so
fascinated by the ingenuity of the ant and immediately
shouted out for my siblings and dad. Daddy was the
first to appear but returned on his old tired legs. Alex
never showed up, but I gazed at the ant until it finally
disappeared with the load. This experience yet gave
me another great lesson that “we should explore,
discover and overcome every obstacle or challenge “.
Can you imagine God telling us to learn from the ant?
So what can we learn?
So I say to anyone reading this, I entreat you all to
show love and compassion towards one another. For
with love, many battles can be conquered. We should
also develop a determined attitude to achieve our goal
and work as a team and above all never give up. For
even the ant, which is more than a million times
smaller than we are, has managed to prove its worth.
Big blessings really come in small packages. I now
understand why God created the ant. I am not so
ignorant to think only my intellectual superiors can
teach me. If such were the case, then the teacher
would learn nothing from its students, the parents
nothing from their children and I nothing from the ant.
