The Web of Relationships



The one word relationships was what struck Dano on a morning stroll of an autumn month in the first year or so in the 1990s. It was really an epiphany seen through the clouds of suspicion, doubt, and disbelief that hit like lightning. As a key word which refers to a clue to the interpretation of the English prose, the word relationship or relationships was not originally worked out by Dano himself, though.

The vocabulary tests of the SAT in the United States have for long been based on a linguistic inquiry to know about the applicants' versatility on the matter of relationships between words. The writing books or something, or the guide books for writers, give tips to the would-be writers on how to organize what he or she has in mind on the mechanism of "relationships."

To elaborate, it can be said that everything in itself is relationships. Everyone is relationships also. In other words, something is a terminal result of the relationships between some things. Somebody is an end result of the relationships between some bodies. Nothing and none can be identified unless in terms of relationships. The planet earth can be explained in terms of the relationships between the other planets. So the language, a creation of the human beings on the planet earth, can be explained and interpreted in terms of the relationships between the members of the communication subjects and channels.

Dano asserted that behavior determination or modification can be made by the agent's relationships between the other. If the behavior determination or modification was made in a right orientation in terms of relationships, his or her behaviors would be judged desirable and accepted by the members of society. If not, the agent would be repelled, alienated, criticized, or punished.

Let's take one. Quon attacked the Morning Calm Daily and its owner family members, branding them as "the pro-Japanese traitors", while he himself living with a Japanese woman. He made rambling excuses for the cohabitation with a Japanese woman, saying that living with a Japanese woman had nothing to do with the national perfidies before the Liberation.

He was so loose with himself, while tightening the other citizens. He was loose enough to make electronic distortions, say, the magnification of post viewerships by mobilizing his students. He should not have attacked the specific media with the charges of the media's pro-Japanese practices in the specific past.

Take one more. Mr. Acid, the then chairman of the Open Pen Party, who had had his dead father with the career of an army police officer of the Imperial Japan, should not have attacked the then opposition members with their fathers' pro-Japanese perfidious activities. In the end, Mr. Acid had had to be defaced and dethroned as chairman when the evil deeds of his torturer father had been disclosed.
