Good evening, Hanako-san.
My name is Chida Akihiro and I am a monk in Saitama Prefecture.
Thank you for your support.
It is said that they are suffering from traumatic experiences that occurred in the past.
It's not something I can say to people, and I'm struggling with conflicts within myself.
Actually, I had a traumatic experience similar to Hanako's.
I was 7 years old when I was in the second grade of elementary school. Incidentally, I haven't told anyone until now.
Why did I do such a terrible thing?
I spent sleepless days and was tormented quite a bit by anger, sadness, and regret.
Furthermore, even though more than 20 years have passed, I have never forgotten this day.
Rather, I feel like I've grown within myself as time goes on. It's the same.
It is often said that time will resolve heartbreak, but I think it depends on the circumstances.
It is said that they want to forget these painful memories as soon as possible,
The more you wish to forget, on the contrary, that is probably the only thing that comes to mind in your head.
I don't specialize in psychology, but I don't think this kind of experience will ever be forgotten.
Isn't that why it's traumatic? Rather, I even think I shouldn't forget it.
Don't run away from what you've done and thoroughly face it head-on.
I ask myself every day why I did that at that time.
More than 20 years later, there is still no answer.
If it's something I can make amends for, I'd like to make amends, but unfortunately I don't think what I've done is something I can easily make up for
I think so I plan to spend my whole life carrying it on my back.
You might think it's a convenient idea
Don't forget your regrets at this time and definitely avoid a similar situation next time. Self-admonition, isn't it?
Also, if there are people who are suffering from similar things, I listen to them as someone to talk to.
I'm thorough at this. This is the least I can make up for it.
They say they don't want to waste time on unnecessary things, but this time is definitely not a waste.
Rather, isn't it the time needed to face myself?
Of course, worrying too much isn't good for your health...
I'm sorry, I got a half-hearted response, but that's all I can say as long as I don't understand the content.
I hope you take it as just one “example” of me thinking this way.
