What The Existence Of Cockroach Teaches Us?

The cockroach is my most feared insect, especially the ones with wings. However, underneath the fear also lies an admiration for this insect. If you observe the cockroach, by it's appearance alone, it has to be one of Nature's least glamorous creation. The cockroach is hated by many and regarded as a pest that spread germs because of where they hang out. The cockroaches are often hunted down in households and there are usually many casualties during the fogging exercise.

Despite all efforts to try to exterminate the cockroach, it has continued to evolve stronger and prosper to live among us. The cockroach has survived millions of years, it's ancestors can be traced back to the dinosaur age. They are incredibly hardy and can live for days without their heads. For all the reasons to hate the cockroach, it has a role to play in the ecosystem. They are food for some organism and are important decomposers, eating away at any plant or animal remains they can find. Removing the cockroach from the food chain will cause imbalance to the ecosystem.

I think the existence of cockroach is Nature's way of telling us that even the whole world is against you, it is okay. You just need to find your own kind, people who stick by you (your family, your friends, your loved ones) and continue to play your role and you will be just fine. You may even outlive all your haters and have the last laugh !!
