The Mosquito

I once asked a Zen Master who visited KYCL if a mosquito bites the hand what will he do? He replied "just let her bite".

What is the mosquito thinking when she bites? Survival. She needs to survive by feeding on blood and as long as the victim has blood, she will feed. Nothing else transpire in her mind, just pure thoughts on how to survive.

What will you do if you are that mosquito that has a human mind. Probably blood is not in your menu? If you needed blood, you probably select your victim? But you are not brought up by human parents and you have only 7 weeks to live. So if put yourself in the mosquito body, you will probably do the same. So will you kill it if it bites you then?
