Theme: I/Top and Bottom

The Topic “One-Top and Bottom” has brought lots of controversy after we fixed, especially people questioned on why we chose “丨” , the Chinese radicals, as if it’s too mysterious and doesn’t make any sense to most audience.
Our human being have experienced from Baraka and brutal society to modern society where we’re now living, however, we’ve been rated by “Upper and Lower class”, Class conflict never ends. Hence, it’s been filled with quarrel, fight, oppression, war, and trampled in TV show, in our history as well as engraved in our memories.
Even right now, Refugees from Syria who are homeless due to war are trying various ways to Influx into Europe courtiers. We doubt if there will be a time that “future is not a repeated history of past, upper and lower class are not opposite ends anymore?
We have to change our actions firstly if we want to change the outcome, and we have to change our thinking firstly if we want to change our actions. It is also the value system advocated by TED that “Ideas worth spreading”.
Time always follows up the cycle “past, present, and future” going as one way journey every single day and night in our mind, therefore “past” affects “present”, “present” affects “future”, Is there other possibility that time could follow up another cycle with “future, present and past”? Future affects present, present affects past.
We won’t be controlled by time cycle any more, but a conductor of time cycle. Future and past can be connected as two ends, communicated with each other, merged into one.
When the possibility of changing time cycle could be achieved into multi directions as we want, will the “upper and lower class” being merged into “one” as well?
