You can create 'Paradise'!(?)

Even if you raise your voice just once to say things like "that's not good," "that's wrong and this is right," or "it should be this way,"
reality is reality,
a reality that is already here—that kind of reality.

Once you have put it into words,
after that,
depending on the situation,
you "deal with it calmly"
and "do your best."
I also feel that
this is the only way.

There are also cases where, in the end,
only the reality that
"there are such people" remains.

—For example.

Suppose there is
a "person you cannot trust."

Then, perhaps it is just a matter of
simply not trusting
that person,
and that is all there is to it.

(—Having said that,
since most of you reading this
are generally "adults",
I assume you understand
that there is no particular need
to "make that obvious in your attitude"
without me having to say it. Haha)

We humans are like "unreasonableness manufacturing machines."
—As long as humans exist in this world,
I even get the feeling that "unreasonableness" will never disappear from this world.

If this world were made entirely of
"correct things,"
the very concept of "correct" would not even exist.

Perhaps
it is quite natural
that a certain percentage of human society
is "wrong."
(I am not saying "that is fine.")
(I mean "it is something that happens naturally.")

Nevertheless.

There is also such "unreasonableness"
that is no joke if you get caught up in it.

Being dragged off to a battlefield,
being a victim of harassment,
—truly,
I personally find it completely incomprehensible
how those people can be "fine with putting others through such things"
(regardless of how human society is structured).

It is an extreme view, but
I wonder if "people who are satisfied with their own lives"
don't really do things that put others through terrible experiences?
I think things like that too.
—In other words,
people who are "fine with putting others through terrible experiences"
are also people who possess a mentality
that is "fine with stealing or destroying"
the lives, livelihoods, and happiness
that others possess and cherish.

Recently, there is an interpretation that views such people
as "psychopaths,"
and I think there are cases where that applies.

However,
the deep psychology of "I cannot forgive others for being happy or having fun, I want to destroy it, I want to take it away"
(even though you don't become happy yourself by doing so, still.)
is something I think can exist in quite a lot of people,
but I also think that if you are
(at least for now) "satisfied" with your own life,
it is a psychology that is less likely to well up.
(Because you focus on yourself rather than others, right.)

Even if they have more than enough wealth and power,
there are people who say "it's still not enough" or "I'm still not satisfied."
—Those who say "I still want more" even at the expense of others' lives and livelihoods
(for example, wanting to wage war),
are likely what are called "hungry ghosts" (gaki).
—When you look up "hungry ghost" in the "six realms,"
it is often described as "constantly suffering and troubled by hunger and thirst."

If that is the case,
I end up thinking that people who say "it's still not enough" no matter how much they get
might be "hungry ghosts" in this life.

—That person might be suffering
in their own way.

In other words,
people who can treat others cruelly without a second thought
must already have
something like a 'hell' within themselves,
—or so I have been thinking lately.

However, it goes without saying that
the mindset of 'if I'm going down, I'm taking others with me'
is 'a hell of that person's own making,'
so there is no need for us
to go out of our way to get dragged into it.
When you think about it that way,
your own 'paradise' is something

that you, and no one else,

must protect as best you can.

Each of us must take responsibility for protecting
'our own paradise in this life'
(for example, 'being in a good mood'!)

—Actually, isn't this also
something unexpectedly important
for people to live their lives?
That is the conclusion
I have reached.

I also think that, in the end,
'your own paradise'
might be something you have to create for yourself.
