2021-07-16 Ebata: "What more do you need than to smoke a cigarette, drink a bourbon on the rocks, and read a book by yourself? What's wrong with that?" [長年日記]

I started smoking when I was twenty and quitted after seven months.

I was no longer a heavy smoker, but I remember that for about a month after I quitted, I was in a lot of pain.

And it's been three years since I stopped drinking.

Finally, recently, I no longer feel 'pain' when I pass by the liquor shelves at the convenience store.

-----

And yet, even now,

"In my room in the dormitory, I was smoking a cigarette and stoking a bourbon on the rocks"

I'll never forget that mellow time.

I know that both cigarettes and alcohol are worth enough to make many people say to me, 'You're missing out on half of your life.

So, I have never denied smoking and drinking, both of which give me a mellow moment in my life.

-----

So, I'm really sorry to be so persistent, but I'll say it again.

"Enjoy smoking and drinking to your heart's content. Alone."

Don't 'walk around smoking' like you're spraying piss all over the street while waving your penis around! The smell of cigarette smoke is just as bad as piss, even from 200 to 300 meters away!

Don't engage in 'loud drinking' that spits virus-infected spit! Don't talk while holding alcohol or food in your mouth! You're no better than animals, you know that?

That's what I would like to say.

-----

"Cigarettes" and "alcohol" are enough to make your life enjoyable.

I'm telling you to refrain from adding "human" to it, just for now. I mean, it doesn't matter, does it? Even if it's "self-restraint" for the rest of your life. What's the problem?

As a person who has already lost half of my life, I would like to say that just being able to enjoy cigarettes and alcohol is enough to make you happy.

Wife: "Well.... I think the worst part is when you unilaterally impose your own definition of happiness on others like that"
