Have you ever wondered, if we are really the bad guys?

I think that we were never meant to take this place as ours.

History says that Grimm have been here since the first civilization.

Or, they were here before?

I think we claimed something that was never ours.

Grimm are things that we have never understood, because how could we? They are like atomic molecules. We know what they are. But we don't know the full story of them, we only know bits and pieces, because they are things bigger than us, but we just know the tip of the iceberg.

Grimm were the first thing that ever appeared on Remnant, yet history says we come from dust. Well, I call that evolution. With evolution we just started thinking, and as all living things know, the way one thinks, is the way one knows to be better in every aspect. That is evolution.

An animal knows when there is danger, when to make a move to protect themselves.

Well, Grimm aren't that different. They thought of self-preservation and about protecting their kind.

And us, humans, just started to take that away from them.

Maybe they had their own way of living and we came and took them that.

We started to build in their territories, harvest their zones of living, taking their food. Yeah, their food. Maybe they all were carnivores and herbivores, and we just started to take them that. Because that's the human mind. We like it, we try and most of the times, we succeed in taking it.

We made their way of living something that we were never supposed to.

Food, they will need another way of feeding themselves. And what better way to do that, than evolution!

Self-preservation, they needed to defend themselves against everything that tried to take what was theirs since the beginning.

We just came and took it. Everything.

They tried to stop us, but sentient living things, know to be stubborn.

They tried to stop us, and so, as like a mother with his child, or a politician with his money, they made a fight to protect what was theirs.

Yet we never gave up.

But at not giving up, we wanted more.

With wanting, comes avarice.

With avarice, comes selfishness.

With selfishness, comes fighting.

With fighting, comes negativity.

Negativity was/is a way of energy. It drives us to make things that we thought we were never capable of doing.

And so, the Grimm took advantage of that. They were driven to take that advantage of fighting between us.

That energy that we had, they had the same. Just, they used them against us, something we didn't do.

So, with every village they destroyed, every settlement they took and every life they devoured, they started to get stronger and smarter. To the level were they never stopped.

They tried to take what was theirs since the start.

And so, humanity tried even harder to live.

And we haven't stopped.

Neither did them.

But, are they really the bad guys?

Or are we the ones that destroyed their homes, took their way of living and twisted it to something that put them all in danger?

If there is a good out there, and thought of giving us all a place to live, did he wanted us, to destroy what came first?

I would like to think, that this was never our destiny, we just took someone else way of living and adapted it to our preferences.

Maybe WE are the bad ones, the ones that strive to take something that isn't ours.

After all, everything does the same.

Worms and bacteria take our dead bodies once we are dead.

Lumberjacks take the wood of trees that were never theirs to begin with.

Burglars take things that they never bought.

Politicians take money that they didn't earn in good faith.

And the list goes on and on and on.

We are just like them, maybe not in body or mind, but in way of acting and instinct, we are not that far apart.

It's just that, we took more than we bargained for.
