From Derek Friend
Ok... so my empathy may stretch a little too far.
This is my Spider pet/friend.. she's always making a web on my loader. Well, Monday I backed into a tree limb and I was worried she was injured or gone.
My fear was true yesterday, she didn't make a web yesterday morning for the first time in months, and I felt like it was my fault so I felt awful all freaking day. I literally looked over an hour trying to find her in the crevices of my loader. NOWHERE!!!!
Got to work this morning and here she is in all her glory. 🤣🤣🤣 I was so freakin happy.
I think my empathy needs to be dialed back some because my soul hurt for a spider. 🥲

You are a kind spider bro, Derek! ♥️
Your empathy is good where it is! Don't ever tell yourself that you should suppress that instinct. Just because spiders and other crustaceans don't look like us, and we can't communicate with them, doesn't mean they aren't living their own complex lives, or that they aren't capable of suffering.
I agree! These couple of downvoters don't know what they're missing.
