The rainy season has started.
I still think sunny weather is better than rainy weather.
However, if it does not rain at this time of the year, there will be a shortage of water.
Nature’s mechanism is well designed.
By the way,
It is said that in any business, occupation makes the person.
A cook is a cook. A fishmonger is a fishmonger. A politician is a politician. And people who are anti-society should be anti-society.
Zeami, who made Noh a great success, is said to have told his students, “You are a true Noh performer only when someone who does not know you at all can tell you that you look like a Noh performer.
In other words, one’s attitude toward one’s profession somehow becomes one’s very humanity.
It is as if you are one of those people.
In fact, I think that acquired human qualities cultivated in the process of growing up are more important than natural personalities.
Rather than trying to fix the parts of our personality that we don’t like, we should accept that this is the way we are, and focus on the acquired aspects of our personality, such as our attitude toward our jobs.
In other words, the art of survival is what creates a new personality.
Not that it matters at all, but it is said that a first-rate swindler will one day be able to completely deceive even himself.
No matter what profession you are in, if you are sincere in your chosen profession (food) in order to survive, you will eventually become such a race. And their thoughts and behavior will change little by little.
For example, Sota Fujii, a Shogi player, was at first a shy young man who liked to play Shogi well, but now, just by looking at his words and actions, even people who do not know Shogi may think that he looks like a Shogi or Go player.
Then, what exactly is a novelist?
A writer of three sentences, who is passionate about writing novels and has been working hard every day, is suddenly told one day by someone who does not know anything about writing novels, “You look like a novelist,
Is it nice to be told by someone who doesn’t know anything about writing novels that you are a “novelist,” or is it a bit of a puzzling “What?” or “What?” and bewildered?
But I am still glad to hear it, even though it is not a quote from Zeami. I am happy because I have lived my life in such a way that I have become such a person.
However, the race of novelists. Is it really a happy race?
Recently, I am not so sure.
The French writer Sainte-Beuve once wrote in his book of proverbs, “My Poison”,
A man of letters is, to be honest, no longer a man. He laments the loneliness of being trapped, the unwanted misfortune, and the inevitable unhappiness.
Literature is not profitable, but it is the most powerful.” He uses the phrase to mean that by writing a novel, you get everything you deserve, and even today, he is not at all shaken by that statement, but it is the end of the road for those who aspire to be novelists, whether they succeed or not.
I would like to spend my life feeling what it would be like, whether it would be happiness or unhappiness, whether it would be the ultimate race where you could have it all.
“Seeing the unshakable rainy season clouds, I think of summer.”
