My second daughter is a member of a Butoh(dancing) club at university.

Just practicing in the park, they get complaints from nearby residents.

As we talked about this, another stories were appeared.

"They get complaints that junior high and high school students spread out all over the sidewalk on their way to school, interfering with walking"

"They get complaints about junior high and high school students piling up at the convenience store near the station"

Ebata: "Yes, of course there is the 'it's annoying' part, but that's not the essential reason"

Daughter: "What's that?"

Ebata: "The fact that the 'winners' who have the special privilege of being young are 'enjoying themselves' is unpleasant in itself. Well, that's for sure. I can't help but understand that feeling.

Daughter: "That's unreasonable."

Ebata: "Of course it's unreasonable. The ultimate in unreasonableness, I suppose. But for those of us who are not young, who have never had any fun, and who never plan to have any in the future -- You are an abomination"

Daughter: "..."

Ebata: "So I want you to be careful. There are a surprising number of people who can't recognize unreasonableness and can't control their actions with reason. And it's not just in Odakyu and Keio."

I was about to suggest to my second daughter, "Why don't you dance like you're not having fun, like you're lethargic? --- But, I stopped it.
