The concept is called ETAOIN SHRDLU, based on a sequence of letters that could be found in old newspapers and publications. It was a sign of a mistake on the typing process of the 'hot type' machine (used for publication in large scale, in which the operator couldn't change what was done). The idea is to translate this code to our relationship with all people.This sequence, pointing a previous lettering mistake, appeared in the middle of relevant news and information, but it didn't block messages to be said and understood. In the same way, mistakes should not block relationships to be built. That's a simple and practical statement, but it carries daily choices of being vulnerable before all things. That it be a continuity after mistakes, neither a throwing away because of a negative view of it nor an unwritten relationship, if that would be for fear or uncertainty. Living is being vulnerable to right and wrong choices. In both cases a message is said and something is built. The ETAOIN SHRDLU was there. Our choices are here. There was a message! There are personal human paths!
