good morning。It is now the morning of Monday, July 3, 2023.。How are you?。I'm fine、I would like to say that、It would be more honest to say, "I'm not sick."。It's been hot since the day before yesterday.、I suspect that many of you are also like that.。It might be a little hard to see people who are so energetic right now.。

It has been a long time since the Japanese media was said to have lost its ability to report the news.、Lately, it seems like we can't even distinguish between the news and the weather forecast.。If the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, it will be on the news.、If heavy rain is expected, it will be mentioned at the beginning of the news program.。Moreover,、The reporting attitude and viewing situation made it seem like there was no question about covering it on the news every day.、I even feel a certain sense of despair.。
Regarding the shooting death of an 18-year-old boy by a police officer in France、develops into a major riot、In Japan, it seems like a fire is spreading on the opposite shore.、Not covered properly in the news、There seems to be very little。Whether Shohei Ohtani hits or not depends on each appearance.、If there's a home run, it's not a sports corner, it's "legendary" news.。``Let's learn about the world through news''、NHK and other media appeal to children、What kind of world is that “world”?。

probably、“What pleases” is what、At least in Japan today, this is the standard for "news".、I guess it's the definition。I'm the one who's behind、news in a narrow sense、Maybe I'm stuck in the image of journalism.。media is a company、Not an "ally of justice"。Moreover, we are not "friends of people" who are not even customers.。Journalism is part of the company's advertising.、If we consider the welfare of our sponsors and customers as our top priority,、it all fits together。I guess that's the meaning of "world"。
"Boy、Become a celebrity、Become a famous player。To be rich is to be a winner.。that's the world。"I think that's the message.。

money is everything、A worldview that、At least a majority of the "world" would support it (whether they say it or not).。And、The purpose is to “cocoon” your own world.。In the field of art, the meaning of the phrase ``create your own world'' is exactly the opposite.。I think this is very similar to President Putin's (alleged) motivation for starting the war in Ukraine.。SNS etc.、There is no doubt that social media has greatly expanded the information space.、By that very thing、I feel like the world is closing in each person's cocoon.、I feel strongly now。

*It doesn't always take long。something you don't like、So that I don't have to feel bad、It just ends up being too long.。I don't understand the feeling of wanting to only write about things that people like.。

Are you “happy now”?。very recently、I have heard this word from several people.、I was just thinking about what that meant.。Unfortunately、myself、I don't have the confidence to say that now.。

One person had cancer a few years ago.、At one point, I didn't even want to go out in public.、It seems like he's even feeling depressed.、Change your thinking from there、He says he is enjoying a modest but fulfilling life.。Despite his age, one person takes advantage of his many hobbies and talents.、Every day I fly around while paying attention to my health。One person has been living with an incurable disease for a long time and has come close to despair many times.、He said that he feels the joy of painting while maintaining a lull.。Others、In the same way, someone is going through a difficult time (or is in the middle of it)、There are several people who say, ``Right now is the happiest time.''。

I must have heard similar words when I was younger.、Now that I'm older, I hear it differently.。When I was younger, I tended to think of it as ``small satisfaction'' and somewhat contemptuously.。now、The more time passes, the more I come to think that it is a ``precious thing.''。People who have difficulty answering the question “Are you happy now?”、Someone who can't even feel like answering、I'm sure such people truly feel how precious it is.。
Not only the war in Ukraine、Last night, a boat carrying many refugees capsized in front of a coast guard boat.、100There was news that most of the people and children on board were in a hopeless situation.。This kind of thing continues all over the world.。Even in Japan without war、heavy rain、Suddenly lose your home due to an earthquake, etc.、It is not uncommon to see people thrown out.。Let's make the country "capable of war" etc.、I don't think it's the height of stupidity.。

now、draw your favorite picture、You can listen to your favorite music freely。This is by no means a "small satisfaction"、That is something that I have finally come to understand at this age.。I'm a pretty stupid person、However, not only humans、all animals、Plants are also “alive”、Even at this moment, we are actually fighting for our lives.。Even if you don't include that much, you can still say that you are happy now.、Not even a small satisfaction、On this finite earth, I think it's fair to say that the brilliance is close to a "miracle."。
