Believe it or not, there were no TV program recording devices in the past.

In other words, TV broadcasts were only available for real-time, one-shot viewing, and moreover, "one TV per family" was the norm.

So what happened was,

"Channel disputes led to murders"

Many were within families (especially among teenages).

-----

With video recorders, HDD recorders, and smartphones, the concept of "channel disputes" has disappeared, but at the same time, the culture of "sharing content with family members" has also disappeared.

In my case, watching the NHK news every morning or evening and watching NHK's historical dramas are habits I inherited from my father and mother.

Unfortunately, however, this custom is likely to disappear in my generation.

Well, to begin with, family meals disappeared after our second daughter graduated from high school.

Now I don't know what my children are doing or where they are doing it.

-----

I believe that a family is a loosely autonomous decentralized system that can rally for one purpose or disperse for another, so "this" is fine.

Children must jump on the current family as a springboard to create another new autonomous decentralized system (family).

And I, as a component of the present last system, must live and die in solitude, alone, after separating from my partner.

I believe that only those who are prepared to do so are qualified to be called "parents".

Therefore,

The "Unification Church," which considers the family as an absolute value, the "late former prime minister," who advocated family supremacy, and "Sazae-san," which is out of touch with the current family style

are not accepted by me ABSOLUTELY.
