How do you measure things? How do you value things? How do you know why an orange is an orange but an apple? In other words, how do you perceive the world?
Nature and human society are created or structured by a system that is repetitive and organized, and yet chaotic. During the process of creation, a single unit (or an individual) becomes a part of structure and loses its personal identity while a unit stays as it was. (An individual creates relationship with the others and compromises, but doesn't completely transform.)
Ear is a symbol of identity (or individuality), and it is a new thumbprint. Ear stands for an essence component of a system, and an identity of a personnel in a group of people. Identity of a personnel in a group can be ignored or appreciated by a perceiver through a compare and contrast process.
