Lovely morning. Learning one thing or learning something new makes me feel like I have more options in life. There are many choices in life. This may be the “richness of life”. I think there is a big difference between spending your life with a limited number of options and having a lot of options to choose from, and having things that you would like to do and are interested in.
I think there are many definitions of wealth, and one of them may be the freedom to have “so many” options to choose from, rather than “this is all there is. In order to make choices that will enrich your life, it may be important to always try to catch a variety of information, read books, newspapers, articles, listen to the news, and create opportunities for learning.
However, it is also true that the situation you are in and the world you live in will determine whether or not you have many of these options. It is important to realize that there are opportunities for you to make choices.
Even if you have a limited number of choices, the direction of your feelings can change for the better or for the worse depending on whether you think “this is all there is” or “there are so many”.Even if there is only one choice, being able to think that “I have a choice” and being able to move your emotions in a positive direction may be one of the hints that will help you think about life in a richer way.
Yesterday, I went to visit my ancestors for Obon. It was also the anniversary of the end of the war. It was a day that made me think about many things, and I wanted to be thankful for many things. I would like to cherish this moment, this day, and the people around me.
