Don't take things too seriously. Let's live more lightly. Your life and my life are just a game. Happy events and unhappy events are all nothing more than events designed to make the game more exciting. The strangers you pass on the street, the friends you meet by chance—everyone is part of a script that was decided from the beginning. Your birthplace, your family structure, your face, your parents' and siblings' personalities—everything was scripted from the start. And you yourself wrote all of that script. You set all of it up and then jumped into this three-dimensional world. Look back on your life so far. If you see everything you've experienced as one single scenario, doesn't it feel incredibly "like you"? I'm the youngest of three brothers. My two older brothers are one year apart, and there's a 12-year age gap between my younger older brother and me. So by the time I became aware of things, there were only adults in the house. And when I was born, my mother had already become very experienced with child-rearing, so she never got emotionally angry with me and spoiled me a lot. My father was an old-fashioned, energetic man. Back when he was a taxi driver, he once chased down a hit-and-run suspect with a passenger still in the car, caught him, and was commended by the police. Both of my brothers have always been very good at sports and always stood out during school events. Born as the youngest in such an active family, I had no interest at all in sports where others set the rules. From childhood, I loved drawing, crafts, games, literature, and logic. And I was the only one in the family with very sharp intuition, insight, and empathy. In other words, I was a very different kind of existence within the family. But when I look back on all of it, this setting feels so perfectly "like me" that I can only think I came up with it myself. "IS-BEs decide everything before they are born and then come into this world." When I read that line in some book, everything connected inside me. All obstacles are nothing more than settings you decided for yourself before playing this game. That's why both you and I should live more lightly. Don't take things too seriously. Because in the end, everything is trivial.
