But because deprivation of a meaning or the value is completely really impossible, at least I would like to continue delaying or suspending the arrival meaning or value. I would like to build the world that can be integrated by neither a summary nor the language. I would like to induce an idea in the metaphysical, induce feeling in the physical, but come and go through both sides continuously. I would like to build that what is simply it.
