anthood

we are suppose to be men on wheels and flitting from destination to destination using all modes of transportation .We slog and secure our lively hood and live another day.
I was just watching an ant working tirelessly and going through motions when i was lazing around on a sunday in my garden.It took great pains to overcome all obstacles and cross every hurdle in its path even if it took time but never gave up.It changed routes, fell of the path chosen,took long cuts, but pursued the goal.
I was very fascinated and wondered all this for what.Going closer i found that it was storing the food particles along with its colleagues in a small crevice in the wall.the soldiers use to drop the load and return back for the next round and it went on till late afternoon.
With a small inconspicuous structure and tiny legs( no wheels), sheer physical energy driving the efforts of mammoth proportions is a stupendous task.Wish we pursued our goals like this.
The sad part however for the ant is anybody around could just stamp it out with least concern and end its life and its efforts easily.No one would care and that's the end of it.It has the capacity to bring an elephant down on its knees and yet is so vulnerable .The contribution it makes in its one life time may be enormous and can be squashed by a mere thumb.
If ever there was a knightood to be conferred on this ant it would be called-ANTHOOD.
