At the Ebata household, dinner is timed to coincide with the 7 p.m. NHK news.

And recently, I have been 'losing my appetite'.

----

The Russian invasion of Ukraine teaches me, that

- The United Nations,

- International treaties,

- the International Court of Justice,

- the principle of sovereign independence

- the concept of justice,

- the hope for peace,

- various faiths,

After all, it became a reminder that 'those things are not useful'.

----

Of course, it may not be 'useless' in all cases, however, according to the matter directly related to private interests,

"in the face of the word 'right to life'"

I now reconfirm that these are almost 100% ignored and ineffective.

If they say, "Survival is justice," or "The sacrifices of people other than myself are nothing compared to that," I can't argue with them (at least I can't).

"He has the power, I don't"

(*) Mainly refers to the military, police, etc., and in a broader sense, all public authorities with coercive power, such as the government and the state.

I (Ebata) am neither "justice" nor "peaceful". I am just "weak".

----

Therefore,

"Expecting 'kindness' and 'compassion' from society is futile"

Maybe it would be kinder to the children if we shifted our education to teach them that way...

Thinking about it makes me lose my appetite.
