Serene state of mind

4. Our nation easily get emotion evoked by stories how someone go through great failure and hardship before success.
Not only individuals but also whole-of-state projects like constructing a huge dam.
　Documentary TV shows are popular that feature those stories.
　　They tend to like upheaval stories, too.
　　　On the other hand, they are low-down to enjoy bullying people who fail, and trip up successes out of jealousy,
Especially since they began to force self-responsibility each other.
At least, they think that success is worthless without hardship, don't they?
While most of succeeded people's effort doesn't stand out.

5. In history, peasants were necessitated live on miscellaneous cereals after landlords and rulers exploited most of rice they cultivated.
Especially under food shortage under and after the Pacific war, white rice was unavailable for general public, and it was admired as
-What is in this language? Silver rice?
However, since polished rice spread as common staple food among general public,
Due to lack of Vitamin B1 which white rice is poor in, beriberi patients increased.
Then coarse cereal and brown rice became popular, which had been despised as food for poor.
-Me? Since I was found out to be aminic after anorexia associated with psychotic depression, I eat mix of white and brown rice.

6. Putting aside judgement about the remark about Emergency around the Island that locates southwest of our country,
Let me leave an adversarial that major media and general public show completely different reaction -or more like opposite, at the neighboring Continent state's Authorities' order to refrain from visiting our country for studying, sightseeing and other reasons.
Major media looks to be fanning concerns about economic decline mainly by losing tourists.
In fact, it's true at hotels, airlines and some leisure venues.
General public seems rather welcoming this move.
Some complain how those tourists from neighboring Continent state have been main culprit of over-tourism and nuisance and harmful,
Some expect that after those overbearing tourists are gone, sightseeing area will be less crowded and much cleaner and quieter, hotel bills will go down, and then those places will attract domestic people and well-mannered international tourists.
Every time similar things happen, our nation faces the reality how it's risky to depend on neighboring Continent nation, but have they learned?
Needless to say, military collision is out of question,
But it looks like activeness of exchange between our state and neighboring Continent state is in inverse proportion to peacefulness of our nation's daily regional life.
In the meantime... our nation has to refrain from visiting this Country as well,
Because its risk is more realistic than neighboring Continent nation's risk of visiting our country.
