After viewing the video'Spring'-Reflective essay

 <Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring> It's the title of the video, that I'm going to introduce you. I saw the spring part. In the video, the boy tied fish, frog, and snake to the rock. Master saw that, and tied boy to a rock, and told the boy to untie fish, frog, and snake. He said if one of the creature died because of rock, the boy would have the rock in his mind. Fish and snake died, so boy cried and cried.

 I have had similar experience with it. When I was eight years old, I was so young that time, I used to step on ants. Not only eight. My grandmother said I used to eat out, and for one spoon, I killed one ant. I think I did that because I was interested in it. Anyways, once, my aunt pressed me with her arms. I was very surprised so I wiggled my arms and legs. Than my aunt said "That's the feeling of ants. OK?"

 When I was pressed, I noticed the feeling of ants. I felt ache when my aunt was pressing me. What about ants? They might felt the feeling of crushing body. Or maybe they died before they felt the pain. Isn't it so cruel? They didn't even do final acts. How would I feel, if I die with out any last words? It would feel like a ghost. So from that time, I started to look carefully, try not to step on ants.

 When my sister was 9, she loved to kill bugs. Mosquitoes, flies, spiders, ants, and other bugs were killed by my sister. She used to slap her hands to kill. So I slapped my sister's cheek with my hands. My sister shouted what I was doing. So I told her, that bugs feel 10 times harder than you. That's the feeling of bugs you killed.

 I think the lesson I learned is to think about other's feelings, even if it's a bug, animal, and even for plants. They have their own feelings. We must respect them. Don't think they are just a low-level-creatures. Think animals are part of our life. Plus, it is also important to respect. By looking at this video, I thought my old acts. I will fix those acts. So start respecting other since you read this essay. Go on!
