Snail

Sometimes I wonder which is more cruel, crushing a snail after it made an epic 24 hr journey across the zebra crossing, or putting that snail back in its original position?

Regardless of both choices, I think its quite beyond the snail's control. The snail is not designed to run!

Oh well, even the snail made it to Noah's ark.

Time is such a dilatible thing. The snail see things in terms of a past and a future. But the snail's Designer see things 'from' and 'for' eternity.

Maybe the snail is specifically designed to endure long suffering. Still, I think the worst thing for a snail is to hide in its shell.

The shell is made up of calcium. It's not strong. Better to crawl than to stay put.

Nonetheless, the snail will probably appreciate some help along the way. Maybe a bit of rain water, to make its journey less frictional.
