A
new
language
is
born
by
every
creation.
A
language
that
has
its
own
structure
and
rules,
and
if
created
with
passion,
is a
reflection
of
objection.
You
should
look
at
it
for
long,
so
that
a
meaning
is
born
through
the
lines
of
the
image.
I am
in
pursuit
of a
lost
language
through
images
of
which,
a
feeling
is
secreted
that
I
can
call
it
the
human
pathetic
yet
splendid
fragility.
I do
not
choose
my
language.
This
language
is
gradually
formed
and
born
in a
bustling
and
mysterious
process.
It
is
created
by
scream
and
also
by
sympathy,
since
I
consider
these
as
inseparable.
Due
to
the
conditions
we
are
all
affected
by,
it
makes
no
difference
if
we
are
the
convict
or
the
apparent
cause
of
Sympathy.
The
situation
is
pathetic
and
so
requires
sympathy.
It
is
pathetic
because
structures
take
priority
over
human
beings
and
all
living
creatures,
and
it
seems
that
we
have
all
accepted
this
fact
already.
It
is
as
if
the
issue
is
fighting
against
a
clear
structure,
in
order
to
create
another
structure,
and
we
keep
repeating
this,
time
and
again.
It
is
pathetic
because
you
should
confront
the
dark
side
of
human
beings,
with
their
infinite
and
unique
desire
for
killing
or
imposing
their
pain
on
others,
while
they
are
suffering
from
a
great
pain
themselves.
And
because
with
all
the
droll
contradictions,
you
are
so
clearly
seeing
yourself
as
part
of
this
system,
this
cultural
and
human
structure;
and
because
you
are
part
of
the
pain
yourself.
I
want
this
feeling
of
sympathy
to
emanate
from
my
work,
not
the
moral
kind
and
not
the
kind
that
considers
itself
separate
from
the
current
situation
and
has
its
own
prescription
in
mind.
Oh
no,
I
watch
and
think:
“look
what
has
happened!
Look
where
we
are
standing,
with
a
dragger
in
the
beak!”
