Mentors from another kingdom

In the book of Proverbs an unusual role model of wisdom is presented. Proverbs 6:6. "Go to the ant, you sluggard, consider her ways and be wise."
`
We fought to eliminate the ants that appeared in our kitchen every spring. We found them stuck in the honey, surrounding a piece of fruit on the counter, drowned in a glass of juice and generally a big nuisance. One day our neighbor gave us an "ant stick", which we smeared along the ant's suspected path of entry. The result is - no more ants.
`
I always thought that the ant was a part of the curse placed on mankind, along with mosquitoes and thistles. My question to the ant wouldd be; where do you get away with claiming some kind of divine right for youer exisetence - then to receive an endorsement from the writer of the book of wisdom, as our mentor? But I'm afraid to ask the ant lest I am really considered to be an idiot. So I'll ask the creator of the ant.
`
God why did you make the ant? To this God has already stated a reason in the book of Proverbs, that is, to teach us a lesson about the folly of laziness. Citing the ant as a diligent provider the author reminds us that that is a mark of wisdom. In the animal kingdom we call it instinct, (in this case I suppose antstinct would do). Doing what is logical and proper is a sign of wisdom. There are many other things that the ant can teach us like cooperation, committment, endurance, timing. It also teaches us the importance of little things. I guess what the author of Proverbs is saying is, "If you think you are so smart, take a look at a tiny creature and learn some valuable lessons.
`
Okey ants, I'll give you that - but STAY OUT OF OUR KITCHEN!
