My body does react quite badly to it as well. Letting them get me would be compassionate but what about the wisdom in this? So I try to find wise and compassionate responses to such, but I very often fall short of reaching a proper balance that seems ok for all involved.
If I let a part of the Creator suffer for the benefit of another part, then the net result is still suffering of the Creator. I am far from being wise enough to resolve this issue regarding mosquitoes. It seems to me that removing myself from their sphere of influence is the wisest solution, but no... they find me in winter in my house. So clearly I still have very much to learn from this catalyst.
Thank you for sharing your points of view on this. I find it helpful.
Can't really judge as I'm a lot like Jade on this. I don't attract them and also do the mental work of asking them to keep away to see it work and my body also barely reacts to the bites.
At times I may experience a tingling to see I killed one scratching my arm by accident.
In term of catalyst I see bugs as reflecting life. How much do you respect and value life when it is presented as smaller and more fragile than your own? If it is not bad to squash life in its lesser form then how does that mirror how we are treated by life ourselves?
