Do You Know “Don’t Give Up”?

日が沈むホーム

I never walk to school without listening to one of my favorite songs on my cellphone―a song whose name is “Don’t Give Up” by ZARD, who is popular among Japanese people―and I never listen to it without thinking I should try even harder. Every so often, it occurs to me that I may not be making enough efforts to succeed in establishing myself. I always ask myself what I should be. Am I now growing? Am I now proceeding in the right direction? I don’t know the answer yet. I believe, however, it is in the far-off future that I will find the answer. Now, I see the sky, which looks blue for most people, as a dark sky. There are a lot of clouds named anxiety over my head, and rain named tears will fall soon, and then extreme cold named solitariness will come. The winter will be, nevertheless, followed by spring named success. Therefore, I should never ever give up trying to realize my dream, however dark it is in front of my eyes.

満員電車よりも苦痛なるものは莫なし(未完成)

我輩が憎きものは枚挙にいとま無きものを、殊更ことさらに憎きものは満員電車と言ふべし。

満員電車とは非健康的で非文化的な最低な状況1)憲法には生存権たるものが存在する。この権利は、全ての人間に、健康で文化的な最低限度の生活を送る権利があると保証する。しかしながら、満員電車に揺られる社会人は、言うまでもなく健康でもないし文化的でもない。

満員電車とは、とりわけ風流ともくされる東京人という物好きなる生き物が、わざわざ社会の歯輪しりんとなりて、大航海時代以降の奴隷船の船員も魂消たまげる程度の窮屈さを以ってして、互いにパーソナル・スペースを侵害し合い、溜息を吐き、鬱屈した表情を浮かべ、時には領域死守を掲げて互いに争闘を繰り広げる様な、非常に非人間的な電車内の状況のことである。

世の中たるは確かに好まざる事限り無く存在し、辟易することに間断は無い。しかしながら満員電車たるは、さまざまな側面において厳峻げんしゅんそびゆ不利点が赤条条に露見される。此れ等のことは東京に家宅を持てば何ぴとも理解し得ることである。
