..could you kindly explain the meaning of this "When you teach a child that a bird is named ‘bird,’ the child will never see the bird again.”
When you teach a child that that's what you call them, every other bird they see will be conceptualised and confined within the label of "bird." The child then forgets that every thing - every little creature - is unique. Every other bird is confined within a concept already moulded and defined inside the mind of the child by what s/he knows thus far. We use labels, because it's conventional. But at the same time it steals away our ability to break out of the concept itself. The word "bird" in itself has a universally conceptual, abstract meaning which could be applied to everything that fits under the "bird" umbrella of taxonomy, but it is not concrete. It turns the creature, and every other creature, into an idea. If the child is never taught of the taxonomical concept, every bird is unique, despite their similarities between one another - because they are not "birds," but other creatures that look alike and can produce viable offspring. The child then experiences reality in its concrete entirety, not through pre-moulded ideas.
Everything you know is a concept. The idea that you live on earth is a concept. The idea that it is air that you breathe is a concept. Words and labels can never give you reality - they only point towards it. But from then on, you're on your own. -

Lucy, you are freaking lucky. I love that movie. Your mom is one of a kind. I mean, her writing is ... idk.... something haunting and beautiful. I don't usually like Vietnamese novels but Va Khi Tro Bui and Mua O Khiep Sau are very worth reading.
Hahaha my god, I told my mum this and that made her day :D I'm so glad you love her works and that she can reach out to you in such an amazing way. Thank you for this!
