I'm not as tolerant as I wish I could be in this city of so many different cultures. A stop at a market for pears and kiwis turns in to a horrifying walk among row after row of buckets and tanks filled with live fish, eels, frogs, crabs and turtles without their shells. I want to scream and yell and jam my fists in to someone's face, screaming at the cruelty. Instead, I leave in tears, my heart aching for these and all the creatures we humans treat with such disregard.
"I do not intend to tiptoe quietly through my life, only to arrive safely at death."
