One day, the Japanese blind and deaf lady's document program was broadcasting on TV.
At first, she was saying the positive things, but she said her real feeling in front of the Japanese blind and deaf professor.
At first, she said, "I feel doubt in my presence". At that time, I could not understand what she is saying.
Next, she said, "Is there the meaning to being alive?". At that time, I could understand what she wants to say. It was "May I be alive?" that she wanted to say.
To persons who know the meaning of being alive, I have never met its person even once. And... To persons who are not troubled by "May I be alive?", I have never met its person even once. Of course, she and I are so too...
And If I met her at somewhere, I want to tell this thing to her.
