Day 12 - VOICE

It is the second Sunday of May.

I wonder how many of you can pay tribute to your mothers in this City? Many of you have probably been separated from your mothers. Even those whose mothers have gone cannot even visit their grave. How many mothers have been torn from their children?

Cards not given, flowers unreceived.

[ Pause. ]

Happy Mother's Day.

They don't have mothers on Cybertron?

Well. No, I guess not. There are no parents for us, as there is no sexual reproduction.

Is that so? That makes it sound rather free of a good portion of the drama humans have.
notyourchauffeur: (Robot - ...Great.)

Ahhh human or no, there will always be drama.

How unfortunate. But I suppose there is no place in the universe without conflict and pain.
notyourchauffeur: (Human - Thinking)

[personal profile] notyourchauffeur 2012-05-17 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
As strange as it sounds, I guess I wouldn't have it any other way.

Without pain and conflict, happiness would be meaningless.

Happiness is much more difficult to achieve.
notyourchauffeur: (Human - Smiles instead of tears)

[personal profile] notyourchauffeur 2012-05-18 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I don't know about that. I'm happy!

[ Slightly bitterly: ] How wonderful.

Happiness isn't necessary.
notyourchauffeur: (Human - Headphones!)

[personal profile] notyourchauffeur 2012-05-19 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
No, but that's not what I asked. It's nice to be happy, even if it's not vital to survival.

What's the point of living if you're miserable all the time?
exceptfebruary: bare feet (someone get this man some shoes)

[personal profile] exceptfebruary 2012-05-20 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
There is a place in-between miserable and happy. A feeling of contentment, or perhaps a drive to complete something. Ambition.
notyourchauffeur: (Robot - I'm so friendly)

[personal profile] notyourchauffeur 2012-05-21 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose. Though contentment usually goes hand in hand with happiness. Or at least comfort.

It is easier to reach a level of contentment than it is to reach true happiness.
notyourchauffeur: (Robot - Sit and explain)

[personal profile] notyourchauffeur 2012-05-22 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
I think happiness is attainable. Though it depends on what makes you happy, I suppose.
