Vol.68 Heartache
Jan 31,2023
  Even here in the 21st century, there are still many disputes all over the world. They occur in the name of economy, territory, religion, ideology, and other reasons. Such a poor thing that human beings never learn from the past.

 When I was young, my father called me "reckless." In my student days, I used to stay up all night discussing with my friends or reading books about human beings and society. I think these experiences allowed me to develop my view of life and the world, which led me to be so self-righteous that I do not listen to others' opinions.

 However, when I inherited my father's business, I realized that I would not be able to manage the company with such a self-centered personality. That is why I changed my way of thinking as if "I became a different person," which my father later said.

 Meanwhile, this self-improvement started making me guilt-ridden about my past failures. Every failure case similar to mine found on TV or in a newspaper deeply hurts my feelings. Sadly, people cannot avoid failures. The more people age, the more often their feelings get hurt by failures. Thus, I always try to think about something else to forget them for the sake of my health.
 I have recently concluded that having a heartache means my senses function normally. Such positive thinking may be a key to decreasing the number of failures in the rest of our lives.
End.
