"You, Monster" - "I Did Nothing" -"Exactly"

The fact that you can be a dangerous monster by means of sheer neglect, cowardice, or ignorance is not trivial.

Actually, it's a wonderful testament

to how much value and responsibility, that is, agency the society you live in affords you and assumes on you.

If we did not treat you as if you have immense value

you could not ruin us just by being a worthless piece of nothing.

To make the concept click, think of how loving someone works.

It's tied with the power of that person to ruin your life just by ignoring you, by doing nothing.

Every gift is a burden.

An implicit invitation to make good use of it, to be grateful for it, or at least enjoy it,

and the corresponding failure, waste, pain, if you disregard it.

Thank you for your attention.

Antony
