If we truly want an empowered city, we can never play any blame game.
We must take responsibility for each and every one of our own choices.
Our city is only a reflection of us.
If we choose for ourselves, we know there will never be any victims. If we have not chosen for ourselves, then life is deeply distressing.
Our grief, and need for a victim, a hero, a scapegoat whatever you want to call it, is us not wanting to feel how distressing this is.
Being distressed and not dealing with it, how is that truly mentally healthy? Could we then blame a mentally vulnerable city that we are?
If we glorify suicides and herald that as heroism, because we do not want to truly face our own grief of not taking responsibility, how ginormous is the impact of this in our society? I spoke with my teenage son about the situation tonight. We will only come out of our lostness when we start to take the smallest step of responsibility in facing and committing to life deeper each day.
And I take the first step of not holding back my expression.
“A hero is never one person, but all of us. If our body is the vehicle of heaven, this is what a hero deeply treasures, for it is through it that heaven can be actualized on earth.”
「世上最轟烈的是去愛惜自己和愛惜生命。烈士是這樣培養的。」
