One of the reasons I read newspapers is that there is a columnist there. Two of my favorite columnists recently read articles written in different newspapers every few days, and I had an experience of'flashing' in my head. .

National sovereignty is fiction?

First, Professor Kim Young-min, a political scientist, says in a newspaper column titled ``How to Live with Fiction,'' the concept of ``national sovereignty'' (國民主權) is only fiction, not fact, as much as ``the king's new legend'' (王權神授設). "The sovereignty belongs to the people, and all power comes from the people," which is the Republic's best'Gold and Oxide' (金科玉條) constitution. "It is a fiction to pretend that a small number of rulers are delegated power from the whole nation." . (Quoting the philosopher David Hume, who said that the minority rule is so amazing) But by believing in the fiction of'national sovereignty', as the fictional language of "I love you" sustains love, we "endure political alienation." "I get the power to maintain order," he says. Soon, Kim concludes with an insightful question about what political fiction will support Korean society today and in the future.

There is no meaning in life...

Next, it is a column written by a female scholar Jeong Hee-jin in retrospect on the late Kim Jong-cheol (▶◀ RIP), an outbreak of green criticism. In this column titled 《The Victory of Meaninglessness to Teacher Jong-Cheol Kim》, Hee-Jin Jung declares at the beginning that there is no meaning in life. In nature, "the life of man is just a minor event of the natural cycle like any other creature." Hee-Jin Jeong said, “I think life is meaningless but cannot live with consciousness of this truth,” said Kim Jong-cheol, who stared at the world and humans from an ecological perspective and criticized the material civilization of growth. . (It is similar to what Professor Kim Min-min called fiction or fiction.) However, in modern society, the "meaning" of material civilization swallows up everything, and humans lose the reflection of death, and the ability to think is falling. I was sad about the death of my teacher.

Luxury yamalro essence of art

when reading weaves two columns have insight into the nature of the world we live in (Die Welt), I recalled the writings of another prominent columnist of hwanghyeonsan who died two years ago. As a non-literary scholar, he published 27 columns in a newspaper titled ``Viewing the Sky from a Well.'' One of them,'luxury and sabotage', is always memorable.

In the column, Hwang gave an example saying, "Opera singers dedicate all their abilities in the most inconvenient way, that is, in the most extravagant way." "Would you like to waste such a long time?" he wrote. "Luxury plays a big role in the basic elements that make art an art." Although art does not produce bread nor rice (think of the common binaghan "I'm doing art"…), literary critic Kim Hyun said, "What is useful to humans is suppressing humans because of its usefulness...but literature is useful. Because it is not, it does not suppress human beings.” He said that it is the essence and virtue of art. And the danceless, meaningless and extravagant fiction was said to ask "Why do I live and how I live" by taking a step out of this bustling run.

Luxury or Fraud

One day in 1984, Korea's major daily newspapers featured an artist's remarks very rarely.

"Teacher, what is art?"
"Art is a scam."

Global video artist Nam June Paik is the answer to reporters' questions at the airport when he returned to Korea after 34 years. There are various theories, explanations, and speculations about what this means, but there is even a saying, "Do you get entertainment as a documentary?" But the political system is fictional and meaningless in life. It feels like that.

Thus, in "life filled with bad karma and pain, often unpleasant" (Kim Young-min), "we cannot live without meaning" (Jung Hee-Jin), "art often suppresses reality with its useless luxury and its radical sabotage. I will go away" (Hwang Hyunsan)
