It’s Too Early to Bring Things to Life By Clayton Canney
The door doesn’t need to have a personality, The fact that it barely works some days doesn’t mean anything. The card reader doesn’t want you dead. The soda fountain doesn’t have malicious intent when it won’t dispense ice, There’s just something wrong with the machinery. It didn’t splash you to piss you off. The vending machine doesn’t understand that you’re having an awful day, It wasn’t trying to steal your dollar. It cannot control its mechanisms. The world around you does not have the freedom to hate you, You just have the choice to see it that way. It’s far too early to give these inanimate objects life.
