Jiri, Impressive as your concept is, I don't favour it...for it would solidify the tension between men.

I think there are things that are for the intimacy of men. Heavy hearts, transcendence, forgetfulness, personal relationship belong from my viewpoint to one reduct that is sacred (sacred=secret=private).

In this light, I will always favour something far more abstract than so evident proposal. Remember The Little Prince...

The essential is invisible.
One only sees well with the heart.
