This seems to be contradictory behavior from a taoist. According to Wiki; "Taoist propriety and ethics emphasize the Three Jewels of the Tao: compassion, moderation, and humility" If a spider bites you it's either out of fear and the desire for self preservation or because it's hungry. In either case, it's not doing so due to animosity. Does it deserve to die for this and is that death truly 'justice'?
