I don't understand (New Year's words) → I want to understand (this year's goal)

“Congratulations …...” which words are empty “Start of the year” and “Nature” gets  angry at the work of the people of the land
「おめでとう」言葉虚しき「年初め」 『自然』も怒る地の人の業(わざ)　　
(Japanese short poem: Tanka(短歌) Sakura(櫻:my pen name)

This year “2024” looks like it will be a very difficult year for us as well. For me personally, I am actually in the process of implementing a “paradigm shift” plan. From the beginning of the year, I and we too received a severe blow from “nature”.

I was also trying to write “Happy New Year...” like others, but I couldn't. I wrote the opening words in my Android Notes app and left it there for a while. Now I finally felt like writing.

Instead of “Happy New Year...”

···I don't know···

I want to use this as my New Year's words.

One adage says, "Everything that happens in the world is my responsibility," but in response to my “paradigm shift” plan, this “Nature” gave me a harsh body blow! Thanks to “Nature”, my mind is tightened. This is because if others hear about my “paradigm shift” plan,
・Stop it!
・How old do you think you are?
・Who do you think you are?
・Are you misunderstanding something?!
・Do you like going to "Hell"?!
There's no doubt that I'll be insulted by things like...

That's why the message to me of this harsh body blow from “Nature” is,
“Therefore, do it!”
I took it to mean that.

At the end of the year, my TV set broke and I canceled my NHK reception contract. We can get more than enough news from around the world and Japan through the Internet, and we don't have to waste our time on unnecessary information, so it's also meaningful for my “Paradigm Shift” Plan.

So, I was thinking about my goal for this year.

···I want to understand···

I will make this my goal this year.
