明日は衆議院選挙だ。そもそも争点もあやふやな、誰に聞いても何を根拠に誰を選ぶかいまいちしっくりこない選挙をまたしないといけない悲しい現実に心が一切踊らない。そんな選挙を目前にして、人間不信になるので、あまり考えないようにしている。選挙に行くことが善だと言われ始めて久しいが、人間を嫌いになりたくないので、政治に関わりたくない。嘘をつくことが仕事の人や、平和でなく平和憲法を守りたい人、自分の恨み妬みを外国人に向けたい人、もう政治の世界は混沌だ。そもそも何を政治で得たいのかすらわからなくなっている。そして何が得られて何を失おうとしているのか、正直にいっている政治に滅多に出会わない。諦めたい気持ちと、諦められない気持ちで思考は疲弊してくる。そんな私でも生きていける日本は幸せな国だとつくづく思う。これが続くとは全く思えないが、、、

また寒波がやってきて、それと同時に体調をくずす方が増えてくる。稽古が基本だ。とにかく稽古が基本だと思う。稽古のためにも体調をしっかり整えてやっていかないといけない。発酵食品を意識して取るようになって風邪を引きにくくなった。睡眠も意識して取るようにしている。それでも崩れる時もある。その時は諦めよう。
Tomorrow is the House of Representatives election.
To be honest, it is another election where the points of contention are unclear. No matter whom you ask, it is hard to find a reason that truly convinces you why one candidate should be chosen over another. Facing such an election once again, my heart does not feel moved at all.
As the election approaches, I begin to feel a sense of distrust toward people, so I try not to think about it too much. For quite some time now, going to vote has been spoken of as something inherently good. Yet I do not want to come to dislike people, and so I prefer not to involve myself with politics.
People whose job it is to lie, people who claim to desire peace while insisting on protecting a “peace constitution” without peace, people who want to direct their resentment and jealousy toward foreigners—the world of politics is nothing but confusion. At this point, I no longer even understand what we are supposed to gain from politics in the first place. And it is rare to encounter politics that speaks honestly about what will be gained and what will be lost.
My thoughts become worn down, caught between the desire to give up and the inability to do so. Even so, I sincerely feel that Japan is a fortunate country—one in which even someone like me can continue to live. I do not believe this situation will last forever, but still…

Another cold wave has arrived, and along with it, more people are falling ill. Training is fundamental—above all else, training is fundamental. In order to train, we must properly manage our physical condition.
Since I started consciously eating fermented foods, I have been less prone to catching colds. I also make an effort to get enough sleep. Even so, there are times when my condition still breaks down. When that happens, it is best to let go and accept it.
