According to the Buddhism's understanding of the world, I heard that "cause and effect" is one of the most important concepts.
The followings are my rough understanding of "cause and effect" of Buddhism.
"An effect" is loaded from all "a cause". We should not deeply attach effects.
We have to back to the cause.
If not, we cannot get a lucky break.
This is not only religious doctrine but systematical thought.
Though it is a natural story, I think that the reason why the Buddhism emphasizes this ""cause and effect" is that
"Few people live such a life."
Why?
This is a harsh reality.

Question:
"Why I failed to entrance examination?" "Why I was jilted by my girl friend?" "Why I cannot ne promoted?"
The answer:
"It is/was a just bad luck!"
The answer must be easy for everyone.
-----
Human being is too weak to face the cause.
For me, I have lived my life withdrawing my eyes from the fact.
So maybe, I cannot reach a real happiness.
Buddhism criticizes me perfectly, because I am living with the motto of "life in a false happiness".
Indeed, Buddhism has survived over 2500 years. It is very reasonable.

From last week, I have made a linux programming develop environment. Especially I am surprised that the desktop environment has been improved dynamically.
Though I heard the story several years ago, I have not had chance to use Linux, and I can actually feel it.
In special, the office environment(like MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) is really great, and the compatibility seem not to be bad.(No problem about File compatibility)
Enough of that.
-----
I really get mad with the MS co.'s behavior of Windows environment, like changing the location of buttons and menus without our end user's intentions, and making impossible to display text file in the web browser.
I believe that this is really "violence".
Behaving in defiance of the convenience of the user freely, on the de facto standard which they had taken by power,
is the same of the domestic violence (DV) guy who is petty-minded who rule a companion and family by violence, only backed by economic power,

When my senior daughter said that "Papa is a rich man", I didn't understand her intention.
Because, my unthrifts in my present life, are
"Going to a super-spa near Chougo-Shibuya station"
and
"Going to ramen-shop, "Mouko-Tanmen Nakamoto" and have a Hokkyoku-Ramen"
above just two things(Each cost is less than 1000 yen).
Sometimes, I spend much money to buy some sensors or motors for writing my column, it might be different from "unthrifts".
-----
Ebata:"Whey do you think that I am rich ?"
Senior Daughter(SD):"When you take me to the plate meal restaurant, you always say"you might exchange "six dumplings" to "nine dumplings"" .
Ebata:"Excuse me?"
SD:"I always admire you in my mind "Papa! You are nice, and magnanimous!!"
I was near to tears
not for "glad"

Who is the rich father, in my mind, is
When I take my daughter to a exhibit space of cars, I say "you might exchange this Benz to that Jagger".
Above all, "Benz" or "Jagger" is the upper limitation of my image of "the rich father", so I am not qualified as a "the rich father".
Daughter:" It might be shameful for me, but I have what I want to know.
Ebata:"What?"
Daughter:"What is "Watergate Affair"?"
Ebata:"Don't be silent with shame. This your question is meaningful."
-----
Recently, I feel a sense of relief, because she come to ask me "Aum Shinrikyo", "Islamic extremism" and "justice of terrorist"
I thought that she was not interested in topical subjects, religion, and policies, but now I think she has to talk about these issues at her college.
-----
When my daughter and wife went to the theater, whose the theme is "Aum Shinrikyo affair". However my daughter said that "I didn't understand the background at all"
The summarised question was likely to be
"What is the justice even they kill human being?"
It is great favorite for me to explain about these fields.
I sent the following sentences to my daughters LINE in the past.
======
"Working cell" is very good.
Are you reading a biology textbook?
Ms. Hanazawa's voice is also nice.
Above all, now, you can understand the risks of diseases of grandpa and grandma.
Watch it.
======
In the past, there were many comics expressing erythrocytes and leukocytes as characters (Gakken's "XXXX for children," etc.).
However, I have never seen a work that has been thoroughly anthropomorphized and completed as a fun storyline.
I will give the greatest praise to authors and producers.
-----
When I heard the word "killer T cell", I remembered my old work.
"Who gave this permission of this study to me ?"
I'm indulging in stopping thinking "seniority retrospect" with saying "good old days"
Needless to say, "Working with heart and soul" is not a evaluation object basically.
Only the process of "with heart and soul" will be estimated with contents of the output.
Easy ways to objectify the "with heart and soul", without the outputs, are,
(1)Declaration by myself --- I declare that "I have done my best"
(2)Over time ----- I leave an evidence that "I have spent time for work"
I cannot think others except for the above two.
Above all, according the above (2), we have no way except for "overtime work" and "long working hours".
-----
However, the recent "Work Style Reform" activation, is going to make "overtime work" and "long working hours" deny.
As a result, we don't come to use one of the method of objectiveness of "with heart and soul".
Of course, in Japan, "declaration by myself" is not virtue, so as a matter of fact, I think that the objectiveness of "with heart and soul" has already sealed.
So, we have to evaluate "output, itself", however, there are many outputs that are difficult to be evaluated in the world.
For example, math formula, algorithm, operating system and infrastructure maintenance(electricity, water and gas) are high-technicality, so they are difficult to be evaluated.
-----
To tell you the truth, there are another objectiveness of "with heart and soul".
It is a "breakdown" (sick in bed, hospitalized, and fatigue death)
(To be continued)
Lately, there has been a lot of content about "otherworldly reincarnation".
So, why don't you try to challenge this theme by riding this boom?
"When I reincarnated, it was Kim Jong-un"
-----
A teenager who is not interested in international politics at all died in a traffic accident,
He was reincarnated as the head of state of
Anyway, the daily story of struggling only to "be not killed".

Reluctantly, he
purges his domestic political enemies and relatives,
repeatedly develops and test nuclear missiles in defiance of UN resolutions.
continues to cause international problems and attracts hostility from neighboring countries.
keeps to sell the fight to the superpowers.

The story of a Japanese youth who has had such an unhappy reincarnation.
-----
As a matter of fact, I think that many people wonder
"What the hell is he thinking in his life?"
You can get a rough idea of this in a 980-yen "geopolitical book", sold at a convenience store.
It is a fact that most state policies are determined solely by the 'physical location (latitude and lightness)' of the state and its neighbors.
But I think that if it were to become a manga or cartoon of "When You're Born Again", which depicts the mental picture of a head of state, we would have a few more levels of deeper understanding.
-----
By the way, if, as a sequel.
"When I was born again, I became the President of the United States."
"When I was born again, I became the prime minister of Japan."
are expected to publish,
for me.
I think we should call it a "grassroots 'discrimination' movement".
I believe that the "freedom not to be vaccinated" is a right that should be absolutely protected.
However, I believe that we are within our "discretion" when it comes to how we, as individuals, respond to those who do not vaccinate.
As the patriarch of the Ebata family, I will exercise my right of "freedom of contract (Civil Code Article 531)" against the "freedom not to be vaccinated.
"Persons who refuse to receive the new corona vaccine shall be denied access to the Ebata family home"
This, I declare.
However, if I exercise this "now", my daughters will not be able to come home, so I will start applying it a little later.
-----
My wife and I have a second date set for the week after next (if the Pfizer vaccine is delivered on time).
My second daughter will have her first vaccination (Moderna) tomorrow at the university.
Currently, the vaccination of my senior daughter has been delayed.
It can't be helped that both the vaccination at work and the vaccination at city hall are no longer being accepted.
-----
Vaccinations need to be given in large doses at once, within the shortest possible time frame.
The fewer the number of carriers of the virus, the lower the risk of infection and, of course, the lower the incidence of mutations.
The incidence of mutant strains is accurately reflected in the number of carriers.
-----
The day when the world's worst coronavirus variant is called "Japanese variant". Nobody will expect the day.
"Atomic bomb" and "nuclear power plant (accident)" are enough for us.
When I was in a waiting room at a bank for changing my notification seal, I knew ""sniper attack on the former prime minister during his speech".(The case was later confirmed as a "murder").
I felt that I could not control myself because of my furious rage, and I decided not to touch any news, especially SNS until NHK news from seven o'clock.
After such a major tragedy, I was anxious that I am going to be incontrollable by false news and demagogues.
Above all, I was sure that I could not keep a normal state of mind right now (so I didn't know what I will write out).
-----
I live to feel I am so happy that I can write what I am thinking and feeling freely in my daily life.
I deeply thank many predecessors who have fought to win these rights, and
I deeply despise those who would throw away the act (exercising the right to vote) from my bottom of my heart.
-----
I don't think that election is just a system to elect candidates.
Elections are
- the biggest interview with all Japanese public
- the most important event to measure the persona of named "JAPAN"
- the physical examination of JAPAN
I think so.
The measure values might be changed dynamically by this terrorist attack, however, the result of measure is going to be treated as "our will".
-----
I (selfishly) believe that "voting in elections" is (also) "protesting terrorism against freedom of speech".
Show me our country's willingness to protest terrorism in the "numerical" form of "voter turnout"
Now I am thinking so.
"The TV set in a business hotel could be used as a PC display."
was a naive estimate.
The TV was attached to the wall, over the bed, and I could not work the computer.
My ambition to keep the solution search program running for 30 hours in a hotel on a business trip was crushed.
The PC I took from home is now a mere hunk of metal in my cart.
-----
I thought, 'I should buy an LCD monitor at Big Camera in front of the station,' but then I wondered if it would be a good idea to buy it just for the duration of the conference.
Above all, it would not be easy to bring it all the way home.
I wondered, "I have five displays at home now; what's the point of adding more?
-----
In the meantime, I will consider what I can do after finishing the case.
