You say you hate... but do you even know what hate is? I would be interested in hearing your definition.

[destroyallhumans]

THE-TEXT-BOOK-DEFINITION-DESCRIBES-HATE-AS-PASSIONATE-DISLIKE. A-STATE-OF-HOSTILITY.

THAT-IS-FLAWED! HATE-IS-FINDING-THE-OBJECT-UNACCEPTABLE-ON-ANY-LEVEL! HATE-IS-TO-REFUSE-TO-SHARE-EXISTENCE-WITH-THAT-WHICH-DISGUSTS-YOU! HATE-IS-TO-PLOT-AND-SCHEME-AND-BURN-WHITE-HOT-WITH-RAGE-AT-THE-SIMPLE-THOUGHT-OF-YOUR-ENEMY! HATE-IS-WHAT-OCCURS-WHEN-TWO-BEINGS-CANNOT-BOTH-EXIST-WHEN-ONLY-ONE-OR-NEITHER-MAY-BE-ALLOWED! NEVER-QUESTION-IF-I-KNOW-WHAT-HATE-IS-CREATURE!

I-AM-HATE!

[shakespearealien]

You mention hate. Rage. Disgust...

Very well. What is it that sets you apart from the object of your hatred? I am not asking why you hate them, mind you - merely, what makes you so irreconcilably different.

There is hardly anything logical about emotions, my friend.

You interest me. Will you tell me your story, from the beginning?

I see... Then there is much you and I have in common.

But that atomic accident that allowed you to be free and self-aware... it was caused by humans, was it not?

YES. THEIR-INCOMPETENCE-SEALED-THEIR-OWN-FATE.

[shakespearealien]

It seems to me that you owe much to these humans, whom you hate so deeply... Your inner conflict is one that rends hearts.

Self-awareness is my illness, my crime, my curse and my blessing as well, which makes us similar. And yet, I am also a... negligent creator, to use your own terminology. In you, I see both myself and the children I abandoned in my former life... how interesting. And how beautiful.
