Hello, I'm Shigeki. Today, I'm going to talk about the theme of "people who don't notice the ground, the air."
Looking at Japan now, I feel that the meaning of "head is good" has changed a lot.
The current definition of "head is good" is probably not that it has knowledge, but it doesn't have the right opinion.
Rather, we can see the situation around us and laugh at it. That's why we can easily accept it. That's the current definition of Japan's "head is good."
A little while ago, we thought about the concept of "head is a heavy object" and thought about how to live.
At that time, we were trying to find something as we agreed with the people around us.
But now, it's different.
"Head" means that there is a deep, unspeakable power.
So, we don't have to worry about problems.
We have to make everything a joke and deal with it lightly.
That's why we can see it as we know it well.
That's the current definition of "head is a heavy object."
When we listen to the conversation between these people, we can see that the tempo is very good, it's pleasant, and there is no pain at all.
No one is serious or angry, and no one is crying.
The theory of "head is a heavy object" is closed with a smile.
The only thing that has the conclusion is a rational rhythm.
In the tempo, we don't have to feel the atmosphere of the human being.
That's how we use the current system.
In many cases, we don't realize that we are in the atmosphere.
In other words, we don't know that our inner side is empty.
Rather, we understand that we are in the world of calmness.
We don't feel that we are in the atmosphere.
But, in reality, their calmness is the silence born out of fear.
When we start to think about something seriously,
it's because our feet are crushed.
We try to believe in ideologies and ideologies,
but we are afraid that we will be betrayed by others.
That kind of fear is associated with it.
That's why we laugh at everything lightly.
