bee sting

It was a beautiful morning. My room filled with sunlight. Everything was bright and the air smelled fresh of grass and daisies. I slowly got out of my bed feeling something was not right. I got ready yet the thought kept coming inside my head that something is bound to happen. I left home for office. Nothing happened yet. I got into my office cab. As we drove my instinct grew stronger and stronger. We stopped at a particular place to pick my fellow colleague. As we waited my attention suddenly drew to a black crawly thing on my lap. Before I could throw it out it gave me a quick sting on my elbow leaving a red sting mark. I managed to throw it outside. I started to think. Whatever the insect did was in its self defense. It did not know the nature of its attacker or my case- the non harming passenger.All it wanted was to escape alive and all it could give me was a quick sting that left a deep mark.
I started thinking whether this was applicable to us human beings too. Do we try to escape situations by giving a sting to others without actually realizing the nature of threat others posses? Thankfully my sting can be treated but what about the sting that one human being leaves on another?

PS: my sting became a small bump but thanks to natural med like turmeric its wearing off.
