There goes the last temple turtle

One day after a month almost while the rain poured the whole day, Gojo told Zen, “you know my totem is tortoise, so practically I couldn’t have eaten you. I was so hungry I did not know how to think straight. But then when I asked you, you said I could eat you and I felt sad. Surely I was not so hungry that I had to eat you. Besides, if I have you as the last one then I was to grow old with you. I didn’t choose logic, I chose a truth I thought was right. I did not go by the world and I could be wrong but then this world is messy and see where we are now…all because of our lack of this particular instinct. See where we are with so much logic.”
