“... everybody knows what expendables are for. We die over and over so you don’t have to. You’d think maybe folks would be grateful for that, but that’s not how the human brain works. Watching someone else run into a fire while you stand safe and sound on the sidewalk outside doesn’t make you feel grateful. It makes you feel guilty. Nobody likes feeling guilty. So on some level you convince yourself that your expendable deserves what he’s getting.”
― Edward Ashton, Antimatter Blues
