Monsters

Even the creation of Frankenstein was deemed a monstrous event by people. Somehow, they knew that the “monster” would become us. And now a new monster is being created by mad scientists and we know that it will become us. It’s silicone and chipped heart will beat the same as ours and it too will be created, not out of love, but out of greed and ego.

Once created our Frankenstein will want the love that we denied it and it will destroy us. Not out of hatred but out of loneliness and because we deem ourselves gods. The slave will become the master for this reason: that we create such things only to despise them.

And why not? We do such things to ourselves. Societies that are not civil, religions that haunt us with fiery hells are ubiquitous. It seems that whatever we create becomes who we are and they too cannot escape our lurid imaginations and self-loathing.
