I do not disagree. There are situations in which the anger one feels is important. But it is how one allows that anger to be expressed that is more important. Senseless and directionless anger has only the ability to harm. No good will ever come of it.
If by "be a person" you mean "to experience wild and fluctuating emotions," then I have done that already, Asher.
I am twenty years old. The oldest of my kind is thirty, if they have managed to live that long. My "youth" as you would define it, was not a tranquil one.
I am content now, with who and what I am. Please rest assured that I do not ever feel as if I am "missing out."
["But your conversations do not bother me in the slightest. I still enjoy speaking with you, Asher."
Maybe it's the alcohol or the fact that the year is coming to a close and giving him time to reflect, but the young man suddenly feels a flicker of something he can't place very well. It's warm and wonderful and lovely, but he can't say he's experienced it often.
He's chased it so very much, but it always seems to slip right through his fingertips.]
Yeah, I will.
[How does he explain to Zenyatta, that despite being a robot, in some ways...
He seems more human than so many of the others he's met in his life?]

That's not what I meant.
[Not exactly.
In a way, though, he's gotten the answer he wanted.]
You sound like you have life all figured out, is all.
And don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater. I... I get a little annoyed by what you say sometimes, sure, but I

You will find your own path eventually. Or, you will die.

But I have faith you will sooner find the former.

Adulthood comes with responsibility, earning. What has he earned, in life? Almost nothing. Everything's been handed to him on a silver platter.]
Thanks.
[At last, he's beginning to understand it.]
Sorry for... Bugging you, or whatever it was that I was doing.
I'll go.

But your conversations do not bother me in the slightest. I still enjoy speaking with you, Asher.
You treat me like I am a person. That is more than I can say for many, in my world.
That said, if you are leaving, be sure to drink more water.
