9412 - Dialogue in the room

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

– I’ve read your work on genocide.
– It’s on Humanity, as well.
– Yes, I’ve noticed…
– Usually, no one notices it…
– How is this possible?
– It’s everywhere and nowhere do they see it.
– The paradox of the director.
– If they saw it, they would write about its rights.
– You are right. In fact, I’ve thought about those.
– This is how we passed from the unthinkable to utopia.
– It’s such a big change.
– It’s a huge one.
– So, we are reminded of the invention of the word ‘genocide’.
– This invention was the result of a process.
– Correction, reparation.
– Not only.
– But also?
– Cerebral one, too; because everything starts there.
– With the humans?
– And with the fellow humans.
– I don’t understand you.
– Fellow humans are those living with us.
– Right.
– Genocide demonstrated another element…
– Through the crime against Humanity.
– Exactly.
– And what’s that?
– The other humans.
– Namely?
– The alterhumans.
– Does this word exist?
– Now it does.
– And what does it mean?
– We are the others whom they didn’t genocide.
– What we are is not just us.
– Not any more.
– And how are the alterhumans like?
– They are capable of writing on the rights of Humanity.
– Why? And how?
– Because they are immobile and live only in time.
– Thus, they escape any societal element.
– Because they don’t communicate like individuals do.
– They understand each other.
– This is the idea.
– Through Humanity.
– And Time.
– This is the reason why you wrote the book, Master;
– There is no other reason.
