No killing

Buddhists don't kill.
Well, none should.

But don't we all try to kill what really bugs us?

I'm not talking to musquitos. Unless I tell them: "Gotcha!"
Which means I've killed one.
I try not to. But I'm hypersensitive to what they do to humans and I have to protect myself to function well in the morning.

That's the problem.
When I respect all creatures I want some respect back.
And when they respect me I respect them.

I know it should be unconditional. But I have to take care of myself.

What do you think?
