There's this Spider behind my desk and i'm too spooked to try get rid of it so that leaves me with either getting someone to get rid of it for me or befriend it. And since I label myself as a pacifist I chose the later.

Please help, how do I befriend this beautiful creature?

give it mary jane

Smash it with a book and it'll be your bff.

We teach spiders to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to spiders, you can have a web, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the roach.. Because I am spider, I am expected to aspire to make a web. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that web is the most important. Now a web can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach spiders to aspire to make a huge web and we don’t teach roaches the same? We raise spiders to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of roaches. We teach spiders that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that roaches are.
