私が変えられるのは、自分だけ

私が苦手な人はどんな人かというと、見栄を張る人である。

 

別に金持ちに見られたいとかいうわけでなくても、馬鹿にされたくない、ヘンに見られたくないというのが、逆に卑屈に見えてしまうことがある。

知ったかぶり、こなれっぷりを演じる人だ。

先入観や固定観念で融通の利かない人も。

 

果たして、自分はどうだ?

"you are me, I am you"

 

自分だって、浅い知識で何とか生きている。

誰だって、自分がどう見られてるのか気にならないわけがない。

 

苦手だと思って心を閉じてしまうことが先入観ってやつじゃないのか?

 

どんな相手にも、こちらから心を開くことこそが一番大切なことなのでは?

 

私が変えられるのは、自分だけ。

 

ただ、私は器がちっさいから、いきなり全方向開門はムリなんです。

少なくとも、藤井風さんのように、相手を尊重するコミュニケーションを心がけたい。

 

 

If I had to say what kind of people I don't like, it's people who are showing off.

 

Even if they don't particularly want to look rich, not wanting to be made fun of or look strange can sometimes make them come across as servile.

People who act like they know everything or are sophisticated.

People who are inflexible because of their preconceived notions and fixed ideas, too.

 

But what about myself ?

"you are me, I am you"

 

I, too, am somehow getting by with shallow knowledge.

Everyone can't help but worry about how they are perceived.

 

Closing our heart off because we don't like is a preconceived notion, isn't it?

 

Isn't the most important thing to do is to open our heart to everyone, no matter who they are?

 

The only person I can change is myself.

 

However, I have a small heart, so I can't suddenly open my gates in all directions.

At the very least, I want to try to communicate in a way that shows respect for the other person, like Fujii Kaze.
