Beasts Of Emotion...

Now to sit down and dissect something like a mad scientist. Well let me cut into the skin of “we” and reveal its clockwork organs and dig until I find that sensitive spot that is just beyond the green wall. I am talking about the “animals” that hide in the grass and that are so much bellow the “superior” race of beings that live in the glass world. At first I had seen them as under developed monkeys that show how amazing and how advanced the dystopian society was but on closer examination I saw it showed exactly the opposite.
    These beasts were more human than the logical and mechanical things that thought of themselves as people. The “beasts” felt and had emotion. They didn’t examine everything logically but as humans should. They were clouded by primitive and illogical emotion. I found it funny that I could relate to these creatures more so than to the soulless automatons that inhabited the glass city. It left me somewhat unnerved. I had to contemplate whether the direction in which our own society was headed was the correct direction. With our growing technology and heightening sense of justice and logic I had to question whether or not we are become more like these beautiful and simple monsters or the calculated and cold  things that called themselves people.

I also had to wonder which is truly better. Is it better to be logical and calculated and neglect the humanity and ethics of every situation for the mere fact that it makes the most “sense”? Or should we let emotion and sentiment completely clog our view of what is logical? I feel at this point in time we have managed to find an odd balance. We have advanced past the monkeys of the green wall but not lost all sense of primitive emotion and love. When that is lost we are no better than those people living in glass and parading in their false sense of illogical happiness.
