Emojis are components of the two different types of language (the analog and the digital), which master our daily life. Conversions intertwine these languages. An emoji is made for recognizing the “alter” while remaining a “self.” One can for that reason not describe emojis as “far too emotional” or of “E-discourse aggressiveness” without considering the differences of the concept “alter/alterity” in these two types of language. The digital component of emoji activity does not strictly confirm norms and values of speech and other lingual behaviors of analog language. Yet, “far too emotional” stems from an analog context. Frustration marks the acts of conversion when they are understood in solely analog climate. Concepts for and words of emotions are associated with sensations precisely located in body regions, which are today mapped by neuroscientists as if they were emojis. So body, so text, suggests this philosophical context: a text to accompany all of us because ultimate focus on the entire system we call “earth.” Emojis tell us once more that the way humans think moves their planet along the cosmic powers they conceive
