The Thing I Have Possessed
Do you live happily every day? It is difficult to define a meaning of happiness or happy
life, but there seems to be no doubt that blue bird is always in your heart.
Last year, I started new year with hope and dream. However, I lost my destination along the way. To do a something new, I retired sports club, but I noticed that I have not have other proud ability. To tell the truth, I have not enjoyed my life.
One day, I told about it to my girlfriend. She listened closely to me without saying a word. Then, she said to me. “You are happy. If you graduate from university, you will not have enough time to ponder over your life. You are right because this is the last chance that you worry about your life.” Her simple words rescued me from the dark like a tunnel with no exit.
Next, I came back to my home, Nagano prefecture in December. I came to my home after a long time. When I met my family, they said to me. “We are glad to know you are fine. Thanks for coming.” I was woke up by this word. Although I have sought something special
for long time and I have intended to be a special person, my family members are happy if I am fine every day. At the same time, I remembered one Buddhism saying. My grandfather who worked as monk used to say this word. “Your treasure is already your hand.” This phrase means that you already have everything you need. Since important things are right there next to you, you should take notice of them. It is called as “Myouzyuzaisyou” in Japanese. I noticed that I have to appreciate my life, family and friends.
Now, in Japan, a lot of problem is existing. Growing young person who commits suicide is one of the important problem. Why are they get a passport to go to heaven themselves or lose energy to a work and study? Probably, they can’t find out meaning a life.
Through last year, I got a significant something invisible from the people surrounding me. All my plans have not succeeded rather than otherwise. Still, I understand the importance of daily life. This year, I will challenge to a subject of deep interest to me while recognizing the importance.
