Human existence is a funny thing. We are smart. We are stupid. We are capable of breathtaking feats of beauty, heart wrenching moments of cruelty, and pure nihilism as we sit, glued to a rectangular square, watching video after video play, showing everything but teaching nothing. Some believe we are driven by power, some by pleasure. Viktor Frankl, however, explored our need for meaning. His was the suggestion that if we have a why, we can endure any what. Make us taskless, jobless animals and we expire. Provide our lives with a purpose, and we flourish.

There are some things that our language simply cannot convey. Some things that are beyond the world of numbers and letter. Some things that just are. And, at the same time, are not.

I’ve always been puzzled why the media only reflects the tragedy of Korean life. Why those with the most social influence are those decrying everything that has been built. And why those whose voice is heard loudest tell us that the country, the culture, and the very fabric of society is rotten to the core. Politicians build careers out of this. Influencers make millions.
