:42:00
Is this all you're capable of?
:42:02
If you want to be a writer or a poet,
you have to accept criticism.
:42:08
Maybe I didn't make myself clear.
:42:12
There was a writer who is
one of your friends.
:42:15
When he wanted to say,
:42:17
"The man asked the woman
to give him the ashtray", he would say,
:42:22
"That man who was bent over
by the cruelty of history's tyrants,
:42:28
...asked that woman who was
called weak all her life,
:42:33
...to give him the ashtray that was
the product of the mass's hard labour.
:42:41
You see how ridiculous it sounds?
:42:43
But a lot of my poetry has been published
by the official branch of the organization.
:42:46
...and it has many readers.
-What do you expect me to do?
:42:49
Give you a round of applause?
:42:52
In your poems, you have written things that,
they, as a political organization, need.
:42:57
So, basically you object to struggle?
:43:00
If you mean throwing fists in the air,
yes, I object to it.
:43:05
If you mean the killing of
good people like you, yes I object.
:43:12
If your desire is to follow
a political organization and,
:43:16
...post flyers and get beaten up
along the way, that's fine by me.
:43:20
For that line of work,
you should strengthen your body.
:43:27
But if your interest is in art & philosophy,
then that's a different matter.
:43:33
You should read, and read well.
:43:38
You should write.
You should accept criticism.
:43:41
You know, you talk very well
but I have things to say too.
:43:45
You don't listen to my words at all.
:43:48
This isn't a two-way communication.
:43:50
I know that you are more learned than me,
but that doesn't mean you're always right.
:43:56
I don't know why, but I feel
you don't understand my generation.
