I don't know who "you" are. All I know is that there is a wall between "you" and "me". And that wall makes me special. I peek through this wall and demonize the existence of "you" as less complex and more evil than me. I interpret your collective ideas as dangerous and general instead of You being a diverse wide group of individuals as special and deep thinking as myself. I walk into a crowd and they are You. None of them are me. You are judging me and scaring me and You are all monotonous robots that I fear instead of people just as afraid of me as I am of You. And for the individuals I forget exist they are me and I am the You that I fear. While I build up my wall and pretend You are all the same and I am better off alone I forget that you're doing the same with me. I walk down a street surrounded by you and convince myself that You are judging my walk and my presence when in reality you're too busy worrying the same to do so. This is a letter to You who does not exist. You the general you who are robots that I think are evil. And this is also a letter to you. The individual as complex and thoughtful and scared as myself who I'm inviting over my wall. Come join me.
