In the heart of humans who discovered "talking" lurks an earnest prayer of those who have lived through pain.

Masakazu Nakai

"Humans have advanced so far in order not to shed blood directly." follows. The aesthetician says that because of this, resources that correct mistakes in history exist in languages and books that enable both criticism and cooperation. He adds that for example, supposing that the result of a war of a hundred years is a reconciliation document of several pages, if it had been written before a war, people should have avoided  "writhing in the blood."
