2024-03-21 Everybody's unhappy, everybody's good." [長年日記]

I have a passion for agriculture, fishing, and livestock.

But I know full well that these jobs require advanced technology, vast know-how, and much time, energy, and mental strength to acquire.

Unfortunately, I have resigned myself to the fact that finding another job in this field would be impossible in this life.

-----

I have a longing to be a fisherman.

I think it is a wonderful life to be able to eat fresh fish every day.

I also have a passion for dairy farming.

I think it is a wonderful life to drink fresh milk every day.

I, on the other hand,

- I have a disgusting amount of computers and displays,

- I have tons of useless memory and peripherals,

- I have expensive and sophisticated computational tools.

Perhaps some people consider this kind of life a "wonderful life" (I don't believe it).

-----

Aside from whether "fish," "milk," and "computers" can be discussed in the same breath, it is likely that "those who have it" are "unaware of what they have."

In other words, "Everyone envies what they don't have, and everyone is unhappy.

That's nice.

I want to release this revised version of Misuzu Kaneko's well-known poem, "Everyone is different, everyone is good.

Everybody's unhappy, everybody's good."

Yeah, this one feels more comfortable to me.

I presume that "more than a few people feel the same way I do."
