There was a time when I believed that human emotion was a terrible weakness. Demons should not feel such petty things. Especially I, Lord Sesshomaru.
Sadness
There is no reason for true demons to feel sorrow. Showing grief is a weakness and crying is a sin.
Terror/ Fear
There is nothing strong demons should fear as we are of higher power than mere mortals. I especially should fear nothing. I am strong. I am powerful. Demons and mortals alike should be afraid of me. And they are
Happiness
Don't get me wrong, I am happy to a certain, demon-like degree. I have power and knowledge. I am a demon lord. But I am not happy in the human sense. I do not 'smile'. I do not laugh in pure joy. It is highly unnecessary.
Love
What a useless, unneeded emotion. What is the need to love and feel affection for another living being? I think of love in disgust. Love is what caused my father's premature demise. And with a mortal at that. There is no need for a high, pure demon as myself to feel such an emotion.
I used to believe these things and still do to a point. The war with Naraku brought a certain enlightenment to me. A certain little mortal also taught me some things. Rin, I have to admit, changed me in more ways than one. These two people helped to show me what true strength is really about. And maybe, just a little, human emotions might not be that bad after all…..
