In the midst of chaotic global circumstances, the roles of nations, organizations, and even traditions, are being questioned anew. There surely are those in this world who have lost their faith, and believe only in a god of their own creation. They worship, and love, their idols, and feel closer to them than even their own family and friends. The mindset which allows them to cling to such faith, to continue devoting their love to it, even while knowing that it is false, will eventually materialize their idol into reality, and perhaps even imbue it with a soul. Perhaps it may be said that this too can be a form of human evolution.

混沌とした世界情勢の中、国家や組織、或いは伝統の持つ役割が改めて問われつつあります。世の中には信じられるものを失い、自ら創り出した神のみを信じる人々も居るでしょう。彼らは偶像を崇拝し、愛で、家族や友人よりも身近なものとして捉えています。その信仰が偽りであることを知りながらも縋り、尚も愛し続ける心は、やがて偶像を具現化し魂をも吹き込むでしょう。それも人類の進化の形態の一つと言えるかもしれません。
