You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.

Albert Camus

Well, that doesn't apply to ants.

Swedish scientists have conducted a survey in ant 🐜 collectives in which ten out of a million ants 🐜 said that they prefer their individual happiness over the collective one.

In the same survey, one of the ant queens 🐜 collectively said that she doesn't give a damn.

“Your lip is all busted,” Eddie said, as though pointing out that Richie’s lips were injured would somehow make it okay that Eddie was paying attention to them. Richie’s hand came up, long fingers wrapping around Eddie’s tiny wrist, and he gently guided Eddie’s touch away.

Eddie finally wrenched his eyes away from Richie’s lips and met his best friend’s gaze. There was a softness there that he rarely got to see, not even the smallest hint of teasing or joking there. It was just Richie, just Richie looking at him and Eddie looking back. For a single moment, it was just Richie and Eddie alone in the world. Nothing to bother them, nothing to live up to.

I've never understood what people have against ants...They're just like "Hey can I have these lil crumbs that you're gonna throw away anyway so that I can feed my family?" And humans be like "No! You must dIE!"

Like...chill out man let em eat they crumbs in peace. Just don't bite me and we'll be fine.
