Nice Face
Different
individuals are shaped by different life environment which cause different
individuals’ cognition of alien groups of people by labels. Due to the
existence of conventional labeling, we have unequal views on different things. I
regard the box as the metaphor of “life environment” and it does not mean that people
shaped in it are with the inherent labels of their living environment just like
it is not necessarily the black side in the black fan box or white side in the
white fan box. There is no superiority or inferiority for the so-called black
and white, and it is just the embodiment of diversity of things. My intention
of creation is to hope people can eliminate their inherent labels for other people
or things and purely returning to people or things themselves.
There are none but have this tendency to good, just as all water
flows downwards. Our cognition of alien groups of people cannot be based on our
experiential understanding from life by labeling others, just like it is
not necessarily the black side in the black fan box or white side in the white
fan box.
