English as reconstruction of being

When she came home from tennis school, still left the afterglow of her workout, and told me "I’m home now",  she was a girl and innocent.   I wanted to hug her with my eyes. Her skin was smooth, firm and very softly. How many years has it been like that? No, it may be the first time.   Like the first time, every new discovery feels like the first time. I have thought since seeing her first time she should be more interested and confident of herself. But it's a problem if she would have it too much,  haven't it ?   It has been a long  time since  nothing happened, and  bad things just happen of a sudden. But now that I'm doing well, her health is the  most  important gift.   Anyway, let's do what we need to do in a small and sure way from here. Do my small feelings support her?

I realized that my yearning to go abroad stemmed from my immersion in American pop music when I was in junior high school, so I listened to hit songs from that time on YouTube. PPM's songs have touched my heart even now. The world was so small back then. I almost locked myself in my room because I had nowhere to go. Especially during the winter, when I didn't go skiing, I absorbed the music to the fullest. My room had a low ceiling and was dark, like an attic, but it wasn't small. I think that because I was alone and comfortably cooped up in my own world, I distanced myself from the movements of the world. At that time, the world was supposed to be undergoing turbulent events such as the Vietnam War, the May Revolution in Paris, and the Chinese Cultural Revolution, but the local towns were not affected at all. I was too young to receive these external movements and had no knowledge to understand the information. During the summer vacation of my third year of junior  ...

 When I was an office worker, a man stood in front of me. For the first time in my life, I found myself being treated like a failed child. I thought it was natural for me to live my life the way I felt, but he belittled me as if he was fundamentally denying me. For the first few seconds, I didn't understand. It's true that I was an office worker, and he was at the top of the company. I had no idea what right they had to deny me that much, to treat me like a criminal. What on earth had I done, and if I had committed a crime, what kind of laws were there? No, the police might even be more gentlemanly. He deliberately put violence into his words. The words themselves and the way they were uttered were violent. Later, at a morning assembly or something, he talked about how words can kill people, so he has thought that moment remained in his mind. I now know that the greatest basic human right is inner freedom, but back then I was ignorant. Report to me everything you have though...

 Although half my life had risen and fallen irregularly, by now it just had been nothing but ordinary, neither good nor bad. It takes something extraordinary to be satisfied with the ordinary. It can't be helped that I feel unsatisfied with my ordinary daily life.  harf my life had  risen and fallen irregularly , by now it just had been nothing but ordinary, neither good nor bad. It takes something extraordinary to be satisfied with the ordinary. It can't be helped that I feel unsatisfied with my ordinary daily life. There were still some changes yesterday. There was a delicious soba restaurant in a place called Bessho, which was a little further into the mountains of Kanazawa, and I ate handmade soba with his wife for lunch. I ordered the duck nanban and my wife ordered the wild vegetable soba. There were six pieces of duck meat and it was tender. The wild vegetables seemed to have been picked from nearby mountains. The soup stock was delicious, and I added some soba-yu ...

  Hiroko:  I saw on the news that the Children's Cafeteria has become a topic of convesation. Syoh:  By 'Children's Cafeteria,' do you mean a cafeteria that only children can go to? Like where they have special kid's meals? Hiroko:  No. 'Children's Cafeteria' is a service where meals are served to children from poor families for free. Syoh:  Is that something the government runs? Hiroko:  No, it isn't. It's run by private citizens, and there are already more than 300 of them across the country. Syoh:  I understand that there are a lot of children who come from poor families, but should't the government take the initiative and develop welfare services like this? Prof:  You're right,Syoh. The involvement of private citizens in volunteer work is praiseworthy, but essentially, projects like the Children's Cafeteria should be undertaken as a part of social security policy. Syoh:  But, Japan is one of the richest countries in the world, is...
