Love or Peace

(English translations are written below the Japanese)

まだずっと世界史にハマっています。

動画でコンパクトにまとめてくれるので

あれからひたすら古代から現代までの歴史や偉人伝など観てます。

世界に名前が残るくらいなのでそれぞれ見てるとストーリーがあって面白い。

動画ではないですけど、先週一番印象的なのは偉人というよりそこからネットサーフィンでみたタモリさんという日本人のコメディアン「LOVEさえなければPEACE」でした。

つまり好きということが無ければいじめも戦争も無い。だからなくならない。

いやこれ強烈というか真理というか言葉が出ないですね。

2000年にもなって、賢い政治家が集まった結果、まだ戦争するの？とかたまにニュースで流れてくる学校のひどいイジメとかいつまであるの？って思うことありますけど、人間の仕組み上、無くならないんだなと思うと虚しくなります。

2000年前と比べても本やネットのおかげで勉強しやすくなるから賢くなるし、栄養も取りやすくなるから体も大きく成長しやすくなったけど、結局根本的には進化出来ないのかも。。

でも一つ、昔と比べて助け船があるとするとメタバースの普及なのかな。

今いる場所で困ったことがあってもネットで他の世界を見る、価値観が合う人に逢いやすくなるっていうのは、ある意味いい逃げ場になれる。

リアルな世界は生まれた瞬間から不平等でリアル過ぎて、合わない人がいるのも当然。

僕だって服屋でマネキンが着てるかっこいいと思う服を買って家に帰って、その服を着て冷静に鏡を見た瞬間、「ん？俺似合ってないぞ？」となるのも不平等（←次元低い）

さて、Enjoy Japaneseも次で300回目になりました。

日本語を話せばお金も容姿も健康状態も環境もフラットな世界。出来る限り続けていこう。

I am still into world history all the time.

Youtube can make long stories compact,

Since then, I've just been watching history and biographies of great people from ancient times to the present day.

It's interesting to see the stories of each of them since they are so famous in the world.

The most impressive thing I thought last week was a Japanese comedian named Tamori-san who said, "If you don't have love, you have PEACE.

In other words, without love, there would be no bullying or war. That's why they will never disappear.

I am at a loss for words to describe the intensity or the truth of this statement.

In the year 2000, wars are still happening as a result of smart politicians getting together and talking, and I think, "Are they still at war?" And when I see the terrible bullying in schools on the news sometimes, I think, "Is there really bullying that bad? "But I feel empty when I think that it will never go away because of the human mechanism.

Compared to 2000 years ago, books and the Internet have made it easier for us to study, which makes us smarter, and easier for us to get nutrition, which makes it easier for us to grow bigger, but in the end, we may not be able to evolve fundamentally.

But I think one thing that helps us compared to the past may be the spread of the metaverse.

In a sense, it is a good escape for those who are having trouble in their current location to look at other worlds on the Internet and meet people who share their values.

The real world is unequal and too real from the moment of birth, and it is natural that there are people who do not fit in.

Even I have bought clothes that I thought looked cool on the mannequin at the clothing store, and when I got home and put them on and looked in the mirror calmly, I thought, "Hmmm? I don't look good in it. It is also unequal (←low level).

Well, Enjoy Japanese has now reached its 300th issue.

If you speak Japanese, money, appearance, health, and environment are all flat here.

I'll keep going as long as I can.
