泣きながら考えること

 
『メイク・ ア・ウィッシュの大野さん』という本を図書館で読み、泣きそうになった。いや、ほとんど泣いていた。

 難病の子どもたちの夢をかなえる、メイク・ ア・ウィッシュというボランティア団体と、子どもたち。そして、夢をかなえるための協力する人。

 幼くしてこの世を去る子どもたちもいて、そのことと自分を比べてしまう。いや、比べてしまうというのではない。ただ、かわいそうと思うのはよくない気がするし、頭が混乱する。泣きそうになりながら、人は何のために生きるのか、長生きすることとはど何なのかなど頭をグルグル回る。

 元気で長く生きていたいと思うと同時に、死ぬのが恐くないと感じられるといいな、とも思う。極楽浄土というか、天国というか、死んだあともいいことがある、と思えれば、死は恐くなるのだろうか。

 こういう話を普段することはないけれど、これはこれで大切なことのような気がする。みんな忙しくて、そんなことを考えている暇がないのかもしれないけど、考えないようにしているのかもしれない。人間とは何か、死とは何かなど、哲学的なというののかな、なかなか答えの出ないことはみんな考えないようにしているのかもしれない。

『メイク・ア・ウィッシュの大野さん』のページをめくりながら、そんなことを考えた。泣いてしまったあと、先日読んだ、重松清さんと茂木健一郎さんの対談本『涙の理由』を思い出した。

 ノンフィクションで、人の死に出会い、涙を流すとき、この涙は何なのか、失礼な涙ではななければいいのだけど、とふと考えてしまうことがある。この人はかわいそうだな、自分がそうでなくてよかった、と自分はそう思って泣いているのではないか、などと考えてしまう。

 と同時に、自分の中のいやな部分を、涙が洗い流してくれているのではないか、と都合のいいことも考えてしまう。

 追伸というのは変かもしれないけど、少し追加。メイク・ア・ウィッシュ オブ ジャパン、事務局長の大野さんには2度お目にかかったことがある。背筋がピンと伸び、芯が強そうで、どこからこのパワーが出てきているのだろうと思ってしまうくらい、イキイキした表情の女性である。

  21. I have observed that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate proprietors, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate contract, a payment is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers don’t “save” the percentage. Rather, they try to win the commission by way of doing a good agent’s job. In doing this, they shell out their money and time to accomplish, as best they are able to, the assignments of an representative. Those assignments include getting known the home by marketing, delivering the home to willing buyers, constructing a sense of buyer urgency in order to trigger an offer, arranging home inspections, taking on qualification check ups with the mortgage lender, supervising repairs, and assisting the closing.

  22. Another important aspect is that if you are a senior citizen, travel insurance with regard to pensioners is something you must really look at.

Even though Associate Diplomas are a great way to start, completing the Bachelors uncovers many good opportunities to various employment goodies, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Course Programs available from institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions present Online variations of their qualifications but often for a extensively higher fee than the organizations that specialize in online degree programs.

  39. Thanks for sharing your ideas. I might also like to say that video games have been at any time evolving. Better technology and enhancements have aided create reasonable and interactive games.

This is testimony towards the fast development of video games.

Sometimes separation and divorce can truly send the financial situation in an opposite direction. Many thanks sharing your ideas on this blog.
