Before,

I wrote a story about this.

Now,

I read the article that I could understand nicely.

-----

This kind of life, like the protagonist of "Blue Period," is genuine, beautiful, and precious, and it enriches the world with the light and power that overflows from within -- for a stranger.

For the persons themselves, however, this way of life is a purgatory of endless cycles of despair and frustration.

I think, 'Finally, I couldn't live like this.

I can say that "now" because I do not plan to live the rest of my life like the protagonist of "Blue Period."

I do what I can and give up what I cannot.

That kind of life now is good -- much better than the days of purgatory.

-----

How many people expect others who are not themselves to do so?

I consider the accomplishments of others, be it chess, baseball, or whatever, to be "great," but nothing more or less than my own.

I use 100% of my resources to do what I want.

I do not have enough time to support a stranger.

Sometimes I wonder, 'Where in the world does a person who can support a stranger find the time to do so?

Anyway, I will never do anything I can't achieve by myself and expect someone else to do it for me -- I want to keep being that kind of person.

And I will not be on the side of those ugly people who criticize others for not living up to their expectations, even if someone kills me.
