Tensions
Strange tension: Maureen spoke with a dreamy voice, “If I have money, I will buy a chicken for Christmas.” A chicken costs approximately $7 here (10 000UGX). “Hmmm,” though I. “I should buy them their Christmas chicken...” But the thought of buying a live chicken and bringing it to its eventual death is difficult for me. Yet I have no problem buying dead meat in a supermarket... It’s strange how we can disassociate ourselves from the truth in various situations, because if I buy a chicken dead or alive, it’s the same thing in the end.
