Flowers and Demons.

One of the many books I am currently reading is called Flowers and Demons. In this book, a superior demon named Vivi left the demon world and escaped to earth due to mere boredom. Along the way, he saw a baby named Hana (in Japanese, is also referred to as flower) on the street, and brought it to his household. She eventually grew 14 years later.

The book makes me think about inequality in the world. In the book, demons and humans were separated in their own worlds. It's pretty obvious that if I see a monster sucking blood out the street, I'd be damned if we were equal. But Vivi and Hana are different - okay, maybe Vivi reluctantly sucks blood out of humans. He doesn't do it because he wants to. It's because he has to(; although, it's not necessary). However, it's just like thinking about many things, like why are eat McDonalds? 'Cause it tastes good. Duh.

From one viewpoint, you probably think, "oh heeeelllll no. No demon ain't comin' in my world". I agree with that as well. One, being a completely different thing with different opinions and actions changes the way we can connect with demons. They were also known to bring mad luck and misfortune. Two, because most of their diet consists of human meat. Three, because humans are afraid of things we don't know. And four, because of world destruction, new demon planets, demon terrorists?

However, from another viewpoint, you probably think, "everyone is different. I'm sure that demons are nice. And pretty". I also agree with this. One, being that although demons bring misfortune and bad luck, they have reasons. Two, Vivi and Hana. Vivi isn't a crazy demon that craves for human blood or misfortune. He's literally a lazy rich guy who can wake up in the morning. Three, Vivi cares about Hana, and Hana is a human. Hana is the only one who can make Vivi smile. Vivi wants to protect her smiles, too.

If it's love, maybe demon or human doesn't matter...
