How would you define the word monster?


[A few recent conversations have gotten her thinking about certain things and she's genuinely curious about the answers she might get. Cardia is well aware that there are a few people who do know her secret and could probably guess that this is from her. But she's not brave enough to ask something like this without anonymity to hide behind.]

Yeah, I do.

I guess I'd say it's about what they do, not who they are.

They exist in people's perception of things. In the end, it's just a word.

Have you found your own answer yet?

It is.

Are you trying to decide if somebody's really a monster?

Because I think if you've got to ask questions like "did they really mean to do something bad," they're not. There are a lot of reasons someone could do something awful.

Anyway... monster's a harsh word.

How would you define a monster then?

That is indeed a very interesting definition of 'monster'. But monsters can learn to love, learn warmth, and people can easily argue how that very monster should have a right to live.

Does the monster feel remorse for their actions?

Nothing can be fixed. All that matters is what the monster will do to make up for their actions.

People will hold grudges, but even grudges can wane over time. It depends on the monster if they have the strength to look back at their mistakes and find the resolve to do what they can to make up for what they've done.

That's a hard one, isn't it? You know one when you see it, but how to describe us? We walk on two legs and we don't have tails.

Oh, but that's only for what looks monstrous. Things that commit monstrous acts, well. We say the acts they commit are inhuman, but it's only humans who are capable of such things. Bears and wolves don't commit murder, so to say.

If they're cruel and use that power over others, yeah. I guess people can be monstrous too if you give them an advantage over normal people. Like special powers or weapons.

It just means it's wrong to call somebody a monster over little things. Or even things where there's questions about if they meant to do something, or whatever.

Real monsters are the kinds of people who do the worst things, and they don't even care about it, or they like it.
