藤井風さんが教えてくれる大切なこと。
手放すこと。
執着しないこと。
自由な心で、そのままのものごとを受け入れること。
思えば、正反対の思考で生きてきた。
普通とか常識とか、いつも他の何かと比べて、自分を縛り付けた。
押し付けられた規範にがんじがらめになってたように思ってたけど、押し付けたのは自分自身だ。
常識の中にいる自分を心地良いと感じ、そうすることを選んできた。
常識の中で、ズルいこと、楽なこと、損しないこと、得すること、優越感を覚えることなんかを探してた。
誰かと比べて安心したがった。
自分を好きじゃなかった。
いま、少しづつその呪縛から逃れて、解放されつつあるように思う。
闘う相手は、世間ではなく、自分自身だ。
Important things that Fujii Kaze teaches us.
To let go.
Not to be attached.
To accept things as they are, with a free mind.
When I think about it, I've lived my life with the exact opposite way of thinking.
I always compared myself to something else, like normality or common sense, and tied myself down.
I thought I was bound by norms that were imposed on me, but it was me who imposed them on myself.
I felt comfortable being within common sense, and chose to do so.
Within common sense, I was looking for things that were sneaky, easy, that wouldn't cause me any loss, that I could gain, and that made me feel superior.
I wanted to feel reassured by comparing myself to others.
I didn't like myself.
Now, little by little, I feel like I'm escaping that curse and becoming liberated.
The opponent I'm fighting isn't the world, but myself.
