(English) Fake Human
How do you discern truth from falsehood?
Heartwarming fiction to nurture good nature for genuine humans
Fake Human, a lyrical narrative about authenticity, illustrates the weak yet passionate relationship between humans and hellas. An elder sister evades responsibility with lies. Ido seeks to make his avatar. Dr. Ahn is fascinated by a fake life. Hellas demonstrate the good and evil that they learned from humans. Humans and hellas are confused in the tortuous life and they each try to protect themselves with masks. Even so, the reality remains chaotic and hollow. This is because, as one hella said, the mind guides one's thoughts and actions, leading one to reflect whether one is living a life true to oneself.
What is the life true to oneself? Ido, the sister, and Dr. Ahn missed their opportunities to be true. Their examples demonstrate that the mind is more important when discerning true from false. They also illustrate the importance of living the life that is good for all. This will make you remembered in other people's memories. When you are troubled, there will be others who will hold your hand. The examples of Ido, sister, and Dr. Ahn guide readers to live a more truthful life from their examples of surviving traumas and obtaining brighter minds.
Hellas develop insights on themselves and the world as they meet different human counterparts. Even as they leave their human counterparts and move on, they would definitely lead more humane lives -- as hellas bring enlightenment to the readers and are embedded in the readers' minds. True life is being remembered by somebody without one's knowing.
