The late Sakyo Komatsu's "The End of the Endless Stream" is regarded as one of the best works of Komatsu literature.

I firmly "support" this assessment.

In this work, there is a character named Lukif, and when I was a student, I used to ask my friends to call my nickname as "Lukif.

Incidentally, I am one of those who agree with the recent "ban on nicknames" in education. This is because I am a person who has been given unpleasant nicknames.

I think it would be a good idea to make a special exception for "nicknames" reported by the person theirselves, but it would be better not to make such a special exception, as it would collapse the rules in an uncontrollable manner.

Anyway, my self-declared nickname was not used by most of my friends.

The story of "The End of the Endless Stream" goes like this.

"When the earth was about to end due to the anomaly of the sun, the "judgment" disguised as an "alien" selected humans with supernatural powers and took away many earthlings.

"But there was a force to resist this. It is a group led by "Lukif", an entity that embodies the resistance to the vector of every change. "

That means,

- Rejecting "the good intentions of the punishment by a powerful and intelligent group"

- Select "wrong self-determination by a weak and ignorant individual"

In this novel, there is such a "strong affirmation" for humans who walk the "wrong way of life."

So, actually, I tried to talk about something in the wake of this story, but I forgot it.

It has become a ugly punch line.
