Importance of dairy conversation

Looking at SNS like a Twitter, perhaps FB, and even message board in Yahoo! Japan, there are certain people fly at gossip, negative bad stories attacking someone aggresively everyday. Too much fussing are going on dairy and those are escalated in each day. In addition, they are usually the same members. Seems that they are not realizing what they are doing.  Be honest, I used to be one of them until few years ago. So, I  know about this very well. It's sort of like an addiction. Once they started, they can't get out from it, they can't stop from it. How miserable that is. However, they don't even realized by themselves. Their main topics of gossips are famous people. They think they are talking about politics, they think themselves are smart, logically correct. Actually they don't. They are frustrated so that they want someone always want to bash,that's mainly what they are doing.

There is another thing. The argument. I think this also a certain training is required. And take a look at members, I think they don't even know about it, too.

In Japan, there are expression like this. "Office Ladies's gossips at a restroom"

Well, maybe you are feeling againsted because it suggests women, not men. Actually men are doing gossips, too. Personally hope that there will be another expression instead of this, but I can't find it so far.

Let's be honest.  It's not healthy. What's so funny about it? Is that your joy of your life, living? Do you want to spend time all day long for that? By watching them, I feel so pity on them because they don't even realized about themselves how miserable figure they are reflecting. Actually, they are wasting lives. Their behaviour is such a childish. Remind a word "goofy".    

How easy that is. So much easier than writing/talking good conversations.

I've heard their excuses so many times, "I'm not a saint" such and such. How many times I've heard this word. They just can't stop it. They think they are right. Obviously they don't. I think this is related to "Self-esteem", though.

There is another problem. Maybe because of Japanese is my mother language. I feel something not comfortable with. It's not just a language matter. The way of their expression? No, what I always bothering me is "labeling".

For example, one person tweeted about a famous foreign politician, actually ex-politician. He said because this is dangerous person. Maybe right. Yet, something is bothering me. It's sort of like a "conspirational theory".  Looking at gossips, rumors kind of writings are easily related to this. Oh, by the way. The person who tweeted is a so called "professional expert".  A moment I thought about it, and did not RT. The reason is above.

Back to my case. I've checked about myself and start thinking about my life habit. This is another reason I started morning own Bible Study. Hint is here. "Lectio Devina", a Catholic tradition. I think this is very good. Waking up early in the morning during around 3 to 6 a.m. usually. Start it about one hour reading the Bible and spiritual books in silence. There is one more thing. I don't run or join book club, yet I figured out I can start my own personal project,reading PB. Reading Jane Austen is one of my projects this year. You can start your own book club at anytime.

To get out from those addictions, you have to be realized about yourself first. Listen to your heart. Make off line, spend time alone. Then find something you can enjoy. Seek for something spiritually good for.

Of course, it's your life. I can't stop you. Yet, you have a chance to quit. Certainly I do not get involved w/ those people. I think this is silent majority people think about those sort of people. Actually this is what I was told so. Since then, I started think about my daily habit. I don't want to waste my life make it miserable, don want to spend time acting like a trashy. There are so much beauties out there if you see them other than internet. Off line, take a walk, reading books, listening musics, watching movies and dramas. There is a choice. Why can't you try it?

I shall make efforts to find gratitudes and joy everyday. Taking a note is a good habit.

Would you like to stay accompanied with them, or would you like to stop a bad habit? It's up to your decision.

 

２月の読書記録

３月に入り、暖かくなりました。梅の花も満開です。

先月（２月）に読んだ本の記録です。

ジェイン・オースティン　『エマ』（原書PB）

ポール・ギャリコ　『雪のひとひら』

ロバート・D・エルドリッジ　『オキナワ論』

カール・ヒルティ　『幸福論　１部＆２部』

教皇フランシスコ　『秘跡　聖霊のたまもの　教会　−　教皇講和集』

計６冊。

出来れば軽く何か書きたかったのですが、再び記録だけになってしまいました。

改めて何かあれば別件でエントリーさせていただきます。

ど素人の戯言：米国大統領選NH選から

共和党：Donald Trump氏

民主党：Bernie Sanders氏

ニューイングランドでは、Rubio氏は苦戦するでしょうね。

個人的に南部及びカトリック票の動向に注目しています。

前回、共和党Marco Rubio氏を挙げましたが今回の結果で

NYT紙が支持を表明した

共和党：John Kasich氏

民主党：Hillary Clinton氏

こちらで南部の動向を拝見してみたいと存じます。

（支持という事ではありません。）

そしてもう一人、恐らく来月あたりMichael Bloomberg氏の動向に注目しています。

全く参考にもならない内容です。

その時々に何を考えていたのかという事で書いてみました。

すみません。

ど素人の戯言：米国大統領選

全く当たらないでしょうけれど、報道を見ると、つい書きたくなってしまう私の悪い癖です。

共和党：マルコ・ルビオ氏

民主党：ヒラリー・クリントン氏

無難にその線で考えてみました。

トランプ氏についてですが、共和党で撤退者が出ました。これから本気を出してくると思いますので、ルビオ氏を挙げてみました。

民主党は、サンダース氏に勢いがありますが、高齢という事、健康状態、彼が掲げる政策がどこまで受け入れられるのか、そして詳細は伏せますが資金面の点で無難にクリントン氏の線を考えました。クリントン氏については、メール問題、資金面等、課題がありますが米国全体での支持という事では苦戦の可能性はありますが結局選出されるのではないかと。

私の予想は当たりませんし、まずこういう事を書いてみたところで何か意味があるのかとも思います。実は空しさを覚えるのですが、一応書いてみるだけ書いてみました。

マイケル・ブルームバーグ：成功のための５つの秘訣

先日ご紹介致しました、マイケル・ブルームバーグ氏による５つのアドヴァイスに関する記事がありますので、アーカイヴさせていただきます。

まず、日本と大きく異なるのは、勤勉、そして巨大な富を得てもそれらを公共、教育、環境問題等のチャリティとして寄付を行い、自らの自腹で市長となり１ドルの給与で市政を引っ張っていった事。

日本に欠けている決定的な部分がここだと思います。

そして、悲観的にならず、「NO」と反対ばかり、ネガティブな事しか言わない人には耳を貸さない事。日々学ぶ努力を続けていくこと。

オフィスには一番早くに入り、一番最後に出る。等々、様々な紆余曲折を経て努力を積み重ねてきた人だからこそ出来る言葉ではないでしょうか。

人を出し抜いたり貶めたりするのではなく、こつこつと陰日向無く、努力を積み重ねて堅実に登りつめてきた方なんですね。親近感を感じます。

こういった堅実な実業家もいらっしゃる、アメリカの懐は深いと改めて感じた次第です。
