Was it Fooling an Ant, or Fooling Ourselves?



Can you trick an ant by just luring them to a small amount of food and take it out after it summons a team? Will they lost their trust to their fellow ant?

I recently watched a video where someone tricked an ant using a small bit of food. The ant took the bait and, as it went to gather more of its fellow ants, the person removed the food and observed how they were deceived. The video actually has a twist and ended up fighting one ant. But for me, just for the content everyone could easy create such story, but does it really happened that way?

You might wonder if the ants would lose trust in the one ant that got duped? Well, the Answer is simply, No. The ants don't really work that way; they don't operate on trust like humans do. Instead, they rely on chemical signals and pheromones to communicate. So, even if one ant gets fooled, it doesn't affect their teamwork. They'll continue to follow trails and signals just like before. Ants really know how to stick together!

So if you trick an ant by removing food, it won't affect their "trust" towards other ants. They'll continue to follow the chemical trails and signals left by their fellow ants like before. It's all about teamwork and instinct.

In relation to that, as followers of Christ, we shouldn't focus on someone having different standards or differences. Our relationship and unity should not be measured that way. It doesn't matter if someone's leading has imperfections. Just like the ants who follow chemical signals and pheromones, we should also have the ability to understand the importance of unity and a sense of accountability. If some plans fail or some expectations aren't met, it doesn't matter as long as we are doing our part as followers of Christ, like the ants fulfilling their duty.

For Bulawen Saints, Amos 3:3.

Thank you and have a nice day.
