Lovely morning. Despite advances in science and medicine, conflict and disease have not disappeared. Some people even seem to be working towards increasing them, not reducing them. But now is not the time for human conflicts, nor is it the time for one person to attack another. Technology has made our lives richer and more convenient, but if we use it in the wrong direction, we will not even be able to live on this planet. And once nature has turned its cold eye on us, there is nothing we can do about it, as we can see from the natural disasters that are happening not only in Japan but all over the world.
In fact, it is up to each one of us and each one of our ideas to change these forces in the wrong direction. Conflict is not only about dropping bombs or hurting each other with weapons, it is not only about the places where wars and conflicts are taking place, it is also about the problems between people and their projections.
You can imagine it when you think about your physical health, for example. When you’re glued to your desk at work, your eyes get tired, which can lead to headaches and stiff shoulders, which in turn can make you feel tired, or even worse, make you ill. In other words, a single cause can spread to many different parts of the body.
However, if we think about it, if each one of us could stop fighting, stop thinking that only we are good enough, stop thinking that other people are wrong, accept that there are people with different opinions, and start talking about how we can improve our lives, instead of fighting, then we would have a better life. If we can talk to each other about how we can improve our lives, then we can spread good things around us.In order to do this, each one of us needs to be happy inside, to have our own dreams, to work hard for them, to enjoy the process, to think that our rivals are not the people around us, but the people we were yesterday, and to recognise that the people around us have different goals and their own happiness. It is important to be able to accept that everyone around you has their own goals and their own happiness. If we do this, our situation will gradually change for the better. It may be difficult, but we need to try to keep a warm and happy light in our hearts every day.This will make people around you feel kinder and warmer, which may in turn spread to more and more people.
