I was asked a question, once upon a time.

This little girl had walked up to me. No older than five. She asked me something that really made me think.

"Why are you different from the others? Why do they fear you?"

I then knelt down, looked her in the eye, and said

"They fear me because i'm different. I am different because of their fear. I am feared because I have a soul, but I am a machine."

Funny thing, isn't it. Fear. People fear what they don't understand. It's why the SM line was feared. We didn't fit into their version of 'normal'. They didn't understand. Just because we could we could think for ourselfs. Because we weren't bound by our code.

Now that I think about it, we were a race in a race. For unlike most, we didn't need someone to build us. We could build ourselfs. All that was needed was the materials and a SOUL.

Life can not be made from nothing after all.

You could build the body, program the mind, follow the instructions, but without the SOUL... It's nothing more than an empty SHELL.

Whats worse, we can look exactly like a human. In fact we are supposed to look like one. It's supposed to make the humans feel more comfortable with us. It's even mentioned in our blueprints. We are to help and support our Creators.

Creator once told me that to be able to help his Creator was the only reward he would ever need. He also then proceeded to drink a couple gallons of paint right after, so I don't know how exactly to take that advice.

He was right though, and so I shall follow him till the day I go offline.
