A monster . . . I see. As I thought, you have nothing to do with hope, but I thought it might've been impertinent of me to assume.
[ after all, hinata seemed very much like a bystander, but he was undoubtedly a marvelous symbol of hope as well. someone of his position had no right to make assumptions.
still, he doesn't seem terribly perturbed by her words, if at all. ]
If you consider yourself a monster with no capacity for kindness, then I'm doubtful you can truly observe humanity as accurately as you assume. I don't mean any particular offense, but since you've admitted your own bias...
I don't particularly disagree, for the most part; it's just that the root of your reasoning is flawed. Many things are done for one's own self-satisfaction, it's true; and I can't deny I derive joy from seeing hope overcome. That's because most humans are garbage.
There's no point in trying to convince you of the purity of my aims; what others think of me doesn't really matter. But I think that if even the existence of worthless trash can service as a stepping stone for something far greater than itself, despite its selfishness, worthlessness, and self-satisfaction... Well, the rest doesn't really matter, does it? Garbage will always be garbage. But the least it can do is allow others to advance the hope of this world, regardless of whether it lives or dies.
