Olympic、Listening to player interviews after the game、Every athlete definitely wants to win a gold medal.、makes me feel。

To reach something beyond your (current) limits、Everyone needs strong motivation。The stronger the need, the more effort I will make.、I have the patience for that.。The best place to bring together these extreme forms is、Maybe it's the Olympics。The joy of ``beating others'' is probably instinctual, but、What kind of life is it that continues to amplify it?、I can't imagine。I think it's amazing whether it's silver or bronze.、for them、A gold medal is something that cannot be replaced even if you add up dozens of them.、I feel like I understand that。

Gold medal = 1st place、Is it the same thing with the title of 1st place?、Probably not.。I want a “gold medal” as clear “physical evidence”。I thought the pose of biting into the gold medal was a little naughty.、Touch the gold medal with the most sensitive nerves around your mouth.、I reconsidered that perhaps that sense of materiality is necessary (for mental health).。

For me, who just casually watches and listens,、Isn't it enough if you work hard and get something?、Just setting a new personal record is admirable.、I think so。I don't think that's wrong though、I found out that there is not a single athlete (at least not an Olympic athlete) who thinks like that.。

7The Olympics began with the opening ceremony on the night of May 24th.。Drone flight performance? Other than that, it's thin with almost no substance.、Or a meaningless performance。This is different from saying they refrained from being flashy because of the coronavirus pandemic.。It just shows the shallowness of my thoughts.。It was just an elementary school-level school performance held on a national scale.、It has become a symbol of a waste of tax money.。Drone flights seem to be a preview of upcoming wars and forms of domination.、It gave me an eerie feeling of the future.。

Judo gold medal rush every day from the next day。Have the people been completely moved by this? Asahi Shimbun, which had written an editorial against the holding of the Olympics.、It has completely transformed itself into an Olympic PR agency.。What was the meaning of that editorial?。Because it has already been held、Does this mean that it is better to be swayed now than to maintain an opposing opinion?。It's a really good newspaper company.。In that way, he has already forgotten his remorse for being complicit in the Pacific War.。However, as August 15th approaches、I'm sure he'll start preaching ``repentance'' to the people again as if it were someone else's problem.。

Bach of the IOC made fun of the Japanese people, saying, ``If the Japanese athletes perform well in the first half, (the Japanese people) will immediately become supporters of the Olympics.''、Just look at the media、It can be said that Bach is right.。

Although、athletes are innocent。They're just trying to be athletes.。Japanese athletes expressed their gratitude by saying, ``Thank you for holding the event under these circumstances.''、メディアがまた偉そうに「支えてくれた皆さんにひとこと」と暗に感謝を強要するインタビューの締めくくり方が、「ああ、これが日本の文化だ」と、哀しい思いになるが。

the olympics have begun。とたん「オリンピック」の語がメディアから薄くなり、替わりに「Tokyo 2020」が前面に出てきたと感じる。すったもんだと手垢にまみれ過ぎた「オリンピック」のイメージを少しでも都合のいいように変えたいのかな、と詮索したくなる。

明日午後8時から開会式なのだそうだ。わたしの周囲では時折思い出したように「オリンピックっていつから？」と言い合っている。そのくらい盛り上がっていない。on the other hand、ラジオやネットを見るたびに関係者の誰それが辞任とか解任とかが報じられる。NHKなどでは「異例の事態」などと間が抜けた感じで伝えているが、ほとんどの国民はすでにあきれ果てているのではないか。「安心安全な大会を通じて、震災から復興した（現政権下ではすでに死語化した）日本を全世界に発信する」が正真正銘のコントになってしまった。government、組織委員会の会見を見聞きするたびに暗い笑いがこみあげる。

これほどまでに哲学のない国。ここまで教育の質の低下と歪みが浮き上がって見えてきた日本。ironically、オリンピックを巡るこのドタバタで、やっと国民にも日本の本当の姿が見え始めてきたのではないか。女性蔑視発言などに表面化した、口先だけの「人権」意識。近・現代史にそっぽを向き続けた歴史教育による、現代への歴史的視点の欠如が特に顕わになった。

開閉会式のショーディレクターの、かつてホロコーストを揶揄した経緯による開会式前日の解任など、もしも近・現代史を学んでいればあり得なかったであろうその幼稚さは、この国がどんな国になろうとしているかという哲学の欠如が結んだ、不幸な焦点だといえよう。皮肉にも、そのことをやっと国民に納得させたことが、菅政権によるオリンピックの、唯一の成果であり、意義となるのかもしれない。
