Five Ways to Love a Cockroach

1: Name it.
Humanization allows for greater affection.
Give it clothes, and a house made from a shoebox.

When you feed it, give it crumbs from your own desert. Speak to it every day. Confide in it.

Give it a bed to sleep in, and a bathroom with a toilet and a door that closes--

modesty is very human.

This is called "anthropomorphism."

2: Become a Buddhist.

The Buddhist must love all things, no matter how low or despicable.

Religion shapes ethics and ethics shape attitude.

A benevolent attitude will produce positive emotions.

3: Make it part of something you already love.

Feed it to your daughter or wife.

The human body integrates all things consumed into its own structure. As you love her, you will also love that part of her that the cockroach has become.

The cockroach must be secreted into the food -- if you believe that your daughter or wife would knowingly eat a cockroach, you will love her less.

This will diminish your love for the cockroach as well.

4: Become a poet.
The more eloquently we speak of love, the more we believe our love is genuine.

The form of your poetry--sonnet, ode, sestina--is irrelevant.

You must simply form a sophisticated web of praise around the cockroach.

Others will question the veracity of your poems. They will accuse you of metaphor.

Do not falter. Defend your poems and the sentiments they express.
The more steadfast your conviction, the truer it will become.

5:

Kill it.

You will love its weakness just as you love your own strength.]]> Mug, Page 8 http://webcomicsnation.com/danner/mug/series.php?view=archive&chapter=3833&mpe=1&fromwhich=7&direction=f http://webcomicsnation.com/danner/mug/series.php?view=archive&chapter=3833&mpe=1&fromwhich=7&direction=f Sat, 26 Nov 2005 23:24:21 -0000 <a href="http://webcomicsnation.com/danner/mug/series.php?view=archive&amp;chapter=3833&amp;mpe=1&amp;fromwhich=7&amp;direction=f">Mug, Page 8</a><br> <br> I grow tired from stirring.
