This idea used to bother me as it seemed that, at it's basic core, life entailed the destruction of other life. i.e. bacteria are just life forms trying to live in us, the air we breathe may take it from some other being, the water we drink deprives some other creature.
But now I realize that (a) life in never-ending, even for an ant. So if we step on them, they will or may take some other form. They came in to experience "ant" and so that's part of it. (b) nature is spirit's way of providing us with what we need. It is the materialization of our desires (i.e. created by us/them).
This sounds cold, but it's really not--at least in my eyes. It is quite beautiful.
