This the last part of my Animus series exploring the topic of inner ghost/demon that I had to do for class. We were told to interpret ghost/demon in any way we want, so I chose the theme of phobia.
I have this strange phobia of human infants (but not other animal infants). They just give me nightmares for some reason, and I can't even stand the sight of a baby (if there's a baby in the room, I will leave). Needless to say, I never want to get pregnant. However, I'm fine with looking at the very early stages of a fetus when they still share many characteristics with fish (ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny, although not exactly).
Since I have no desire to mother a human baby, I can't empathize with those who do want to become mothers, and that lack of empathy bothers me. While I was doing research for another story of mine, I read about how new dams (which also leads to greater water pollution) are decimating the fish population as well as causing still births in the surrounding villages. Some women can't even get pregnant.
Evolutionarily speaking, life's purpose is to reproduce. Technically we're suppose to pass on our own genes, but in a greater sense, it's also to preserve to our kind. But should our own kind be limited to human kind or all life in general? Of course, humans need other organisms to survive so there's no choice regardless of your personal beliefs.
In conclusion, my inner demon is the turmoil between my phobia of babies and the belief that life's goal is to reproduce. I'm also unsettled by my lack of sympathy for those humans who can't reproduce. I want to convince myself that human infants are no different than any other animals, like fish. I should care about the infertile women affected by water pollution as much as I care about the fish, but no matter how hard I try, I truly only have sympathy for the fish.
So are you all weirded out yet? XD (I'm pretty normal other than that)
