Yeouido, South Korea iii

culture is transmitted through the media, the church, the family, signs, symbols etc. it conveys meaning as a sign, a signature, a nuance.

language is an oral sign also transmitted visually. Center building with the pagoda on top. It conveys weight, power, and a certain literal mindedness.

the word Center is on the middle top of the building. it is a signature, like the old days, when a thumbprint was a signature, and absolute, a being.

there are bigger buidlings now. Trump Tower. Condo Complexes. etc.

but the weight and centeredness, this is essential South Korea. Strong, confident, powerful and a great nation. Self-reliant, but the cup is not full, it is overflowing.

Like a cloud of fire, rising higher and higher as Shelley might have said.

i sleep on the hard bed, my back hurts and i am sweating because of the heat. i pretend i am a spartan...

how have i become so lazy? how have i used language and body to justify every vice, every weakness of soul, every stupidity.

the french often portray the smart as being lazy.

i'm looking for motivations to work in a world where i see no future except a kind of stale nothingness.
