1. There is a series of books about time management; how to make your dreams come true by dating the dreams
. I don't deny this idea itself...however: The author is a founder and the representative (back then)
of a restaurant chain. According to a book review, this book was written at a request from a publisher. Hindsight is 20-20, but now I suppose this publisher couldn't predict the series oftragediesin this founder's restaurant chain and associated companies: Violating the law crudely and overworking and discarding young laborers even to death -there are many companies like this, though-
I've read about the past of this founder; in childhood, he witnessed his father's company go bankrupt, and that led to decide to establish business when he grew up -and made this dream came true. This background seems to have been admired as an example of making a dream come true as a result of great effort without being discouraged by adversity; surely it's admirable. But it can be a kind of pity if bad early experience leads to harmful influence to society like companies exploiting young workers
2. I feel like asking all the people who had voted for the lawyer and entertainer (back then)
when he was elected for the first time as a governor of a prefecture; how they feel about theresultof their vote now. Even if there was no predicting the current situation. This politician's linage is said to be from a tribe that was discriminated against -which MUST NOT be used as a material for judgment. But if this politician's series of various radical ideology and statements, including contempt against women
, were based on desire for vengeance at discrimination against the family tribe... does this politician need to be reproached that nothing comes from vengeance
? -at least I wasn't-
an electorate in the district of this politician, so there was nothing I could do -As well as the next one:
3. Also, the current governor of the capital prefecture won a landslide victory at the latest election, But when this governor made a discriminatory remark against a rival city over Olympic invitation, I wondered whether there were people who regretted of voting for this governor. As for this...I'd just like to appreciate gentlemanlike correspondence of the discriminated country side. But after this fuss, massive antigovernment demonstrations almost like civil war occurred in this country, then there are some artless questions; is there possibility that the third candidate would fish in the troubled water and win the Olympic invitation?
Incidentally... I confess that my thought hasbeen:
If their purpose is just status or economic effect, or just to enjoy Olympic in our country, I'm against Olympic invitation. Well...wait and see, but I'd JUST like to propose all the qualified voters to be sure to vote at the upcoming Upper House election. Although it's difficult for many people to make right and positive choice in today's reality, Even a negative choice like elimination, it's better off than being swayed without expressing intentions.
