In WE, I find the most disturbing aspect of D-503's perspective on life in the onestate to be his fear of individuality and the concept of 'I' altogether. It makes me uneasy to think of a life without the ability to express my individuality. In the onestate, I wouldn't be able to engage in my favorite activities that set me apart from others, things that make me unique and different and HAPPY. I would hate being considered nothing more than an insignificant part of a mechanized group. In my journey towards becoming a robotic member of this group, the last of my dignity would dissipate as my name became a number, just like the other robots. How completely demoralizing it would be to feel trapped in a society of machines that were once considered humans. Individuality is freedom is life.
