Ghost of a Woman: Evolution [budgieboo]

[LNG257]

Your eyes open. For a moment, you feel... strange. As though the whole universe was bonded to you, and you could feel it welcoming you with open arms. But the vision disappeared. A multitude of feelings come washing over you, knowing that it's just another normal day, doing normal things, messing with the stuff of the universe.

"What is the most powerful emotion? Is it Love, Hate, Fear, or Hope?"

"Hate, of course, I'd say hate."

[LNG257]

"Yes, Hate. The force of anger, the shatterer of worlds. A single person can wipe out entire species with just their hate. It is something that everyone has, even machines. They can deny it and hide behind their logic all they wish, but they hate just as humans do."

You get up, and get on with your daily morning routine. Get up, throw on some clothes, apply some gel to clean the teeth, put on the hairstyler for couple seconds so the bed hair goes away, and a small breakfast, and you are set. A quick hyperpath to the office, and you're all ready at your cubicle, prepared to spend another day of your life, working away, doing seemingly nothing meaningful.

"Now, even Hate is defeated by some things. It can be Sadness, that which takes and does not give back, leaves you empty. Or it could be Love, the strongest, most arguably positive, and one of the most primal emotions. Perhaps it is Fear, guardian and thief, stealing your secrets and using them to save your life... at great cost. Or it is Hate itself, combusting, burning itself out, destroying itself from the inside until it is no more. Which do you consider the one thing that can counter Hate?"

Hate merely creates more hate. I'd think it would be love.
