Hold them in your hand and see how cute they are, and learn how they love to have their tendrils tickled. (down boys!) ;0)
Pick up a tiny baby snail, then realise you're about to orphan him.
Realise that you too could 'come back' as a snail, or yes, even a slug.
Ask yourself would you want to end up covered in salt, meeting an excruciating death, or drowned in beer until your so blubbery that no one could even find your tendrils! :0)
...then fill your garden with flowers and shrubs that they don't like, sit back and watch it all grow, and know that should it ever turn out that The Creator of this world is really a slug, or a snail then you are so going to be in for a gold medal when your time comes.
