Termites and nature in general are not bigoted, they have no problem co-existing with human’s and have managed to find places to fit in despite being left out of community planning. Nature is resourceful, adaptable and capable, and as part of nature we share the ability to adapt and survive. It isn’t just the termites who have to adjust to life on the streets these days. It isn’t just the termites who’s existence and struggle is also ignored by disinterested passer’s-by these day. Societies leaders can only be judged by how they treat the most vulnerable members of their communities and right now as far as I can see things aren’t looking too good and it is long past time to do better.
