      My stepdad worked hard all his life. He managed to buy his own plane and fly it all around. To some flying up in a plane might seem somewhat insignificant, but most people never get to fly at all.

      We've only got so much time to get a plane.

        I feel bad for the spider, but I have admit the web in the glass is really cool looking, like a piece of art. I’d probably preserve that if I could (minus the spider corpse)

          Sine wave formation might have been more efficient and hence resulted in survival, but I'm uncertain as to whether the web structure and anchor points would have allowed for it.

                    The spider corpse is an important piece of the art! It adds a memento mori aspect to what is otherwise just a cool place a web was spun.

                      The spider gives context and removing it would diminish everything

                                          Or a metaphor for socialism... lacking the economic freedom to buy more silk, the spider couldn't escape an artificially designed system run by a central authority that didn't predict this scenario, because it isn't feasible for a central authority to predict every scenario.

                                          Or maybe, given that the looks like the glass is outside on the ground so maybe the spider was put into the glass on purpose to make the photo? So the spider was sent to a gulag to die because it wasn't ideologically pure enough.

                                          Or maybe it's just a spider in a glass and you can stretch a metaphor in any direction you want.
