As I was taking my morning walk, I observed that an ant bed had moved approximately three yards from where its original bed had been, closer to a grassy area, because construction vehicles that were working on expanding an elementary grade school campus, had made a temporary roadway from the south end of the school in order to access a gas tank designed to fuel their vehicles. Sadly, the roadway was in a direct path crossing over the ant bed.Ants are smarter than some people, simply because when they see danger, they quickly move their homes (ant beds) out of harm's way. However, when some people see approaching dangerous storms that will knowingly cause havoc, such as tornadoes (see here and here), hurricanes (see here and here), mudslides, etc., they don't move anywhere. If their homes are destroyed, they just go and rebuild their homes in the exact same location over and over again.
Beloved, the continuous rebuilding of homes that are knowingly in the direct path of danger, is a good indicator of what insanity is (see here).
But we don't have to go through the above insanity, if we are humbly willing to learn great practical lessons from simply observing the common ant (see here, here, here, and here).
The question is, will we?
