23 JULY

I read the book "no Pain culture"

(Masahiro Morioka)

which is the feature of present age Japan

and which continues pursuing "comfort"

and pleasant [ "pleasant" ] the way

the society of an ideal which man aims

at sure enough should be,

and it is said for problem institution

that it carries out.

The man of today missed his raw fullness,

as a result of continuing avoiding

the "pain" accompanying raw ,and has not

he produced the world of people

who cannot understand the others' pain?

The necessity of regazing at oneself

anew is felt remembering the theme of the

"lightness which cannot bear existence"

of Milan Kundera, and the question

"whether weight is a really fearful thing

and it will be that lightness is wonderful."
