2015-11-25 "Papa! my birth day of your daughter of 17 years old, is coming." "Do you have something to tell me?" [長年日記]

At twelve midnight of one day, the sound that someone was running stairs noisily and opening my room door, is coming.

In front of the door, my senior daughter is standing with confidence.

"Papa! my birth day of your daughter of 17 years old, is coming. Do you have something to tell me?"

-----

"Well, I am going to give you one message, as a master of the art of living."

I started talking a story to her.

Ebata:"From now, a lot of persons who say "You should live your life with doing what you want to do only" are coming."

Daughter:"And ?"

Ebata:"You may decide that they are useless. And you may forget their talk as soon as possible."

Daughter:"Why?"

Ebata:"If they really believe that it is possible to live a life with doing what they want only, they have already been at fault"

Daughter:"Why do you think so?"

Ebata;"Too easy to make a counter-example. For example, if I want to continue having "Hokkyoku-Ramen" everyday, I have to make money of 920 yen of the ramen"

Daughter:"Make a sense"

Ebata:"In order to continue having "Hokkyoku-Ramen" everyday", I have to do something except for having "Hokkyoku-Ramen", for example , lunch with someone and attending a drinking party"

Daughter:"Your purpose of the life is "Hokkyoku-Ramen" isn't it?"
