Looking for parents kind of.
The boat
Desire to be loved!
The point of life / pointless
Controversy Should they have been sheltered or mistreated
Robots given human experience
Unfair
Hope and ignorance can create happiness
The objects and stories we tell ourselves and our creations that define our lives.
False human life. Not real with family or social
Animals/live stock
Probably no funerals.
No one to remember them
Their whole lives only in their own memories
What makes a human real or not. Have a soul. Clones are just as human as humans. So wouldn’t robots be as well
Crazy hearing that other people don’t think you have a soul or matter
Poor creatures

I had to see Tommy scream to understand the pain. Reading it and audio book still do not hit the spot for me. I don’t truly feel and understand unless I see it. Facial expressions, tone of voice, tears.
