iowaska said: I don't understand why you can feel sympathy for shiki Shiki were just trying to live. I don't understand why you would feel less sympathy for shiki than any other organism, all of which need to eat in some capacity to survive, and all of which, other than plants, are killers or opportunistically prey upon death. |
iowaska said: @WatchTillTandava can you name a organism that comes back after death and kills and eats the same species it previously was? sorry i dont feel sympathy for anything that would prey on my own (the human) race, they are freaks especially the loli girl that killed hundreds or thousands alone I think that you are speaking from a place of fear and self-preservationist survival instinct, of being naturally inclined to be opposed automatically on principle to anything which you deem poses a threat to the human species, and therefore by extension yourself/your family. That's understandable. But Seishin Muroi had lost his own survival instincts and will to carry on living as he had been before the shiki arrived in the village, which is why he sees Sunako specifically and the shiki generally in a very different light. Like a (dark) breath of fresh air. Because they are here in Sotoba in the first place on his indirect invitation, after all. It's his description of the village - its geography and seclusion, economy, etc. from the writing in his novels which attracted them there. So Sunako interprets that also as a cry for help and sees a kindred spirit in him. Also demonstrating that they very much retain human-esque intelligence and feelings. As with all other organisms that have ever lived which we're aware of, they didn't choose their unique biology and circumstances of birth. |
