Why would they want to destroy what they created? (We were `flying too close to the sun,’ like Icarus?)
I have thought about that, tumblindice, and I can only give you my biased answer.
They want to destroy what they created because of what we have become.
I ask myself if I created mankind, what would I do with it?
The answer I came up with, considering our world today, is to start again.
Which refers me to a line in the movie,”Sometimes, in order to create, you must first destroy”, which ironically is a Joseph Stalin quote, which is kinda creepy...
