And if I say I faint just imagining such a cruelty towards innocent ants, is that typical women's sensitivity?
Confession: 9 year old or so, a big green lizard on the sidewalk is staring at me with its reptile eyes I find defiant. I get a rock and drop it on top of it.
I instantly felt so sick. I couldn't believe what I had done!! I must have been possessed for few seconds!
How to make amends? Should I adopt a wounded comodo dragon or an orphan crock? Deep down I am such an animist, that not only I cried and freaked out when parents (were they mad?) burnt some ant-hill during a picnic, but also when they burnt an empty box of cheese that had the image of a mountain goat on it!!!
