Another important step on the road.

Another important step on the road. This is as much an investigation into hunan culture and our inability to see what is in front of us because our prejudices get in the way.

We are imperious and assume that an insect is a small wind-up toy, rather than a creature. Our ideology stands in the way of observation.

The other day my sister removed some spider web entanglement from the wing of a hornet with a kebab stick, allowing it to fly. It stayed still. It didn't attack. There was mental process. We need to be open to seeing evidence, before we can make sense of evidence. We miss so much because we have impaired perception.
