I could just say be careful what you wish after, but I think I'll say something much more accurate and potentially chilling because I think you deserve honest consideration.
Perhaps all of the "real monsters" are gone because we scared them away.
Actually, I think that they are still there, I think we just don't see and recognize them as such.
What difference is there in someone who pulls others down with their words and actions, and the spirit that drowns people? What difference is there in someone who deceives in order to tear down and attack others and the creature which tricks its way into a house to kill?
People who act like that are kin to these creatures, whether they acknowledge it or not. It may be in our best interests to acknowledge that and learn how to relate to them safely, rather than pretending they do not exist.
I wonder if there is a modern equivalent to holding the riddle game until sunlight destroys the beast...
