What happens across the sea is not unrelated to Japan.
I saw the news that many immigrants tried to cross the border in the Spanish territory of Ceuta, and at least 67 people died.
"Spain's immigration problem"
If you dismiss it as that, that's the end of it.
However, while watching this news, I was thinking about something else.
This year, I am talking about this in my "Breakaway Seminar".
From the age of land to the age of the sea.
Until now, the world has been an era of fighting over land.
But from now on, it will be different.
People, logistics, energy, information...
How to protect and connect the "sea routes".
That will become the point of contention in the world.
That is why this news also seemed to me not just an immigration problem, but a symbolic event that occurred at the boundary where the sea and land collide.
And one more thing.
2026 is the year of Hinoeuma.
I see Hinoeuma not as a "fortune" but as the atmosphere of an era.
Hinoe is the midday sun.
It illuminates what was hidden.
In other words, rather than new problems suddenly arising,
problems that have existed for a long time will become visible to everyone.
It will be that kind of year.
This latest news was the same.
Economic hardship.
Immigration policy.
Misinformation spreading on social media.
Human trafficking organizations.
None of these things started yesterday.
Things that have been piling up have all come to the surface at once.
That is why I did not think, "An immigration problem has occurred."
"Things that were previously invisible have become visible."
That is how I felt.
Companies are the same.
Employees do not quit suddenly.
Organizations do not break down suddenly either.
It is just that the discomfort that was there before can no longer be hidden.
I think about this every time I watch the news.
Instead of just looking at the events right in front of us,
in what kind of flow did those events occur?
When you can see that far, the view of the world changes a little.
I like the time I spend reading the news from that perspective.
