What is your worst flaw?

May 05, 2005 16:04

Androids do not have flaws. We are perfectly conceived, well-programmed and flawlessly constructed. We arrive into the world as perfect beings in a world full of imperfect ones. It is the imperfect ones who rule the world, not we who are flawless. However, it is the imperfect ones who build and create us. We are built for many reasons - some eminently practical, others not. Perhaps our greatest flaw is our own perfection. It places us at a distance from those who create us, making us as incomprehensible to them as they are to us. Our perfection sometimes makes them fear us or hold us in contempt because we do not, in their opinions, truly live. However, over time, we learn to comprehend them because we have far more time than they to learn. Our brains are created to learn long after a human brain would stop. Eventually we learn enough to become enough like them so they feel more comfortable around us. Then perhaps our "flaw" is not quite as noticeable.
