I'm going to volunteer...

This is my first post in a month. Before I ask a question, let me write a bunch of essays. If there are any typographical errors, etc., please forgive us. I mentioned that I would do an interview in the previous question, but the interview didn't work. It makes me feel indescribable to those...

I think it's correct

People who can properly say thank you and sorry are better. I feel like there are a lot of people talking about it these days. As a precondition for talking about this, of course I think that these values are true. However, from time to time, I saw people who only threw that way of thinking...

I want to die

I want to die. I don't understand it anymore. Saying I don't understand is a story about stopping thinking, so I have to do something myself, but I can't do it anymore. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. It's no good to throw away all comics, DVDs, etc., stop playing games at all, stop...

The number of things required at work is increasing steadily, and it's tough.

There is little time to be given for the amount of work that must be done and the quality required, and it is painful. I lose more and more confidence in myself in every day when there are lots of reprimands and dislikes. Am I to blame?

How are the monks talking about the actual situation

I am influenced by the Heart Sutra. Here's a desk. We know this isn't there. Someone says it's there on the desk and is made of wood and is brown and hard. It looks brown to me too, and if you hit it, I'm in pain. But after all, there's no brown, no desk, and neither. Even so, I don't like...

Is my way of thinking wrong

I've been married for 19 years. My husband is older, and my husband is strong, and when I was young, I rebelled, but since they imposed opinions and ideas anyway, I thought they wouldn't be able to converge unless one of them pulled back, so I followed suit. Recently, during a conversation...

A husband who always cites his own misfortune

There is a tendency for husbands to blame everything on their own birth. Although not poor, my husband, who was born into a family with little financial means, had a dream of becoming a scholar, but as soon as he was able to go on to college, his family told him that the financial burden was...

I want to know what the monk thinks

The other day, I read a book about Buddhism and was puzzled, so I asked a question In a world where there is a sky, how do monks recognize the sky, recognize it, and what are they trying to do as a result? Why are you acting now? Everything is recognition for me, and I interpreted it as if...

I want to stop emerging religions

I couldn't refuse my sister's invitation to join an emerging religion, so I joined that religion. My older sister is now unsubscribed due to her husband's persuasion. I also want to quit, but I can't ask to leave my membership because I'm indecisive and think that something unfortunate will...

Can you be happy if you can take revenge

I'm so unhappy. I received various unreasonable things at work, and I was made to wear wet clothes and encouraged to retire. Even when I became mentally ill, I put up with it for a career I had built up through years of hard work, but when I refused to recommend retirement, I was...

Interpretation of karma and karma

I asked AI etc. about karma, and they were told that it didn't mean that what was done strictly would come back. For example, when the Spanish flu and tuberculosis were prevalent, I think it was a state where it spread even though the person had no malice. However, if what you did strictly...

Legalizing euthanasia

Right now, I'm learning about euthanasia. I don't think euthanasia should be legalized. If you become seriously ill and euthanasia is legalized, you may want to euthanasia. But I still don't necessarily die from that illness, I think there is a good possibility that it can be cured from...

I hate psychics.

In the midst of so many questions, I'm sorry for being unhelpful. Rather than psychics in general, I don't like specific psychics. I wasn't told anything by that person, and I was confused when I read that person's remarks on the internet. There is no salvation just by talking about the values...

I work as a part-time worker at a restaurant. I quit my temporary job in November last year, and I wanted to be able to study cooking, so I decided to get hired at an izakaya I had been calling out to. That izakaya sells bento boxes and side dishes during the day, and they also do lunch, and I...
