[Notes] Living your own life without being anxious to become someone
Ability does not exist inside an individual like an object.
1. Internal factors: The experiences and memories one has accumulated.
2. External factors: The environment surrounding oneself.
Ability is merely generated as a phenomenon within the relationship between an individual's internal factors and the external factors at that time, and people cannot correctly perceive the results.
Furthermore, due to a brain quirk (bias) called the "just-world hypothesis," people understand the world in a sadly simple way.
In other words, there is a tendency to reduce all events to very simple causal relationships through incomplete reasoning.
If society is dominated by such tendencies, then that world is running on fiction.
In such an environment, what is truly important for life?
It is to carefully separate and protect one's own value from the fiction of ability and achievement, which are conveniently attributed to the individual.
To realize that value, it is presumed that the correct questions in a universal world are as follows.
1. Where is your base?
2. What is the meaning of being recognized as someone by someone who doesn't even know you well?
In such days, the present, which is overflowing with other people's opinions, must be called a world where the boundary between oneself and others is very ambiguous.
In such an ambiguous world, there is an atmosphere that encourages becoming someone.
There are many contents created based on these, and many events in the ambiguous world that are recommended.
In order to regain the individual in such an ambiguous world, we need to face ourselves carefully and with peace of mind.
Yes, we need time to live our own lives, not a perspective for becoming someone.
