The Idea

This project started two years ago and stopped for a while. Resume now. Below is an introduction written back then.
-
discriminate, rape.
this little project started with these two words - or better say, these two actions of humankind. which are bad. words exist because the phenomena that they describe exist. with a simple wish that the above two words, thus the phenomena, haven't existed at all, or that they won't happen again so that we won't have to use the words any more, i had an urge to eliminate them in the dictionary, signifying the notion. then i thought about it. merely eliminating the particular words may not be the best way. leaving traces or adding marks on both negative and positive words could bring other meanings or further thoughts. there i go doing this. there were probably some doing similar jobs. taking part is great enough. i hope the marks themselves speak with what was originally in the dictionary. no explanation would be provided. read, if you please.
