Serene state of mind

　　

The Head in Northern half of the neighboring peninsular country is rattling again and again about the situation in our country and related countries.
For one thing, about the results of the latest Lower House election that deserves to be described as squid's ink dissolution, although current Prime Minister named as dissolution to break through national crisis.
Putting aside the evaluation of its results and choice of my own, is it OK to talk back?
Minister of Finance made a remark that the landslide victory of the current ruling party is thanks to Northern half of the neighboring peninsular country.
No matter how the Minister of Finance tried to gloss over that it was a joke, they cannot complain if we accuse that this was a remark that was really meant - of all the main members of the current ruling parties.
　Besides, considering the recent situation, this remark is right to the point in a way
　　-Unfortunately -or ironically -or lamentably.

Another misfortune: A typhoon ran the length of our country on the very day of the election.
At that night when ballot counting was going on, this typhoon hit the vast area.
TV and radio programs were reporting election results, neglecting typhoon information.
There were angry postings online that typhoon information is more important; national disaster information such as flood and mudslide is matter of life and death.
The next week, a contribution by a high-school student was on newspaper that they must consider the priority of report in case of natural disaster; smartphone received an emergency mail that local first-grade river flooded, but all the TV and radio programs were reporting was about ballot counting, and natural disaster information website was inaccessible due to flocked access, so this contributor felt really frightened.
-Me? Trains stopped and I became unable to go home after I enforced to go to a live concert, and I was being lost in the storm.
Lower House election? I went to absentee voting on the day before.
Unfortunately, although typhoon could be beyond assumption, this must have affected the results of the latest Lower House election.
It's not surprising if someone is grateful for this typhoon as divine wind -or kamikaze in our language, which is no different from a resigned Minister for Reconstruction who said that it was fortunate that the location of 3.11 earthquake was outlying north-eastern area.
Because with election system in our country, the lower the voting rate, the more certain that current ruling parties win by block votes.

To conclude coarsely, should I convince myself to try to think like this?
As long as I see the process of diplomatic tour in the area including our country by current Protectionism-supremacist President, I would have to admit that but for current Prime Minister, this President could have treated our country side more lightly -unfortunately.
In the meantime...
As for the latest election, it's no use crying over spilt milk -what done is done.
What we must think is which future we want, society where people can live as people or where people are kept alive just for labor.
One more thing: You must not rest on sense of superiority against what you regard as negative exemplum to lower yourselves to the same level as the negative exemplum.
We cannot be so slack enough, though.
