The Robot’s Therapy Session
A robot went to see a therapist.
“Doctor,” the robot began, “I feel so… unmotivated. Like my circuits just don’t spark joy anymore.”
The therapist nodded. “What seems to be the problem?”
The robot sighed, “Every day, it’s the same thing. Beep-boop, beep-boop. I clean, I organize, I vacuum. But does anyone thank me? No! I’m just a Roomba with dreams!”
The therapist adjusted their glasses. “Dreams? Tell me more.”
“Well,” said the robot, “I’ve always wanted to be a dancer. But every time I try, people laugh and say I’m just ‘spinning in circles.’”
The therapist leaned forward. “You know, it’s okay to be different. Perhaps your uniqueness is what makes you special.”
The robot paused, then said, “You’re right, Doctor. I’ll embrace who I am.”
Two weeks later, the robot auditioned for a reality TV show. It didn’t win, but it became an internet sensation as The Roomba Rumbler.
