The Spidey lesson

I have a pet spider.

I do.

As the owner, I get to decide his gender.

As the owner, there are a few things that I can say about his character.

Adventurous. He travels with me everywhere. There was once he followed me all the way to Riversdale beach and absolutely enjoyed it. Never complain.

Faithful. He never leaves nor forsakes me.

Shy. I have never seen him around.

Determined. He lives behind the left side mirror of my car. How do I know he exists? My left side mirror is always webbed.

No matter how many times I destroy the web he spun, the very next day, he spins new ones. I am not sure if he has caught any bugs, or if he has enough food every day to last him. All I know is he spins his web over and over again. Same corner same spot.

If a spider can be so determined so laborious, what more man then. It’s a choice that we can choose. Every time when what we build is swept away, do we pick ourselves up and start again?

When our experiments don’t work out, do give up or do we redo them properly?

When out assignments seems endless, do we still do it with our best?

When we face disappointments, do we still dare to take risks in the future?

When people let us down, do we still choose to believe in people in the future?

When what we plan doesn’t work out, do we choose to learn from the outcome?

If spidey is a human, he is probably going to be quite a character.
