Three themes are in this essay, “on”, “argument at play”, and “alive”, developed
reversely. Alive playing with argument, and “on” as story-thinking can round them
up. Section one says we alive cannot think of alive, though crucial. Section two tells of playing with argument that shows “alive”. Section three tells of how story-thinking shows argument
at play, to show “alive”. Section four harvests further in interculture.
Conclusion tells of joy alive as invincible as imperative. Appendix I is on “Mom
vs. Zen”; Appendix II is on theoretical “cash value” of this essay.
