What is a human being? I'm scared, please help!

I'm very sorry for the quick response.
Sorry, I still can't believe humans.

Looking back on past events, isn't life “war, killing each other between humans” after all? It's painful to be caught up in that thought.
How do you let your opponent catch their guard down and slip through the trial of the law and fall into your opponent?
If you say kindness, compassion, altruism, etc., you will be eaten, robbed, and killed.
It seems like human society, and I can't help it.
So even if we lose, we lose, and if they say strong words, we lose, and we get hurt in the heart.

The doctor says, “The idea of fighting and killing is wrong,” but I can't trust them no matter what.
However, there was certainly a time in the past when I seriously thought about “charity” and “altruism.” It has recently changed to “fighting intent and murderous intent.”
At the end of the day, “junk mail called a declaration of war” was continuously sent to “best friends” in the name of a Buddha, and they were isolated.
I can't get my ears off my ears, sad shouting.

It's a world where even Kigan-ji Temple staff and parents and siblings (currently widowed and separated) peel their fangs.
Can I be kind? Is it OK if we don't fight?
Is it OK for humans to be compassionate?
I really want to be kind. I want to proudly donate to everyone, and I don't want to hurt them anymore!

Nowadays, Buddha is my beloved and respected parent.
Please show it to my foolish daughter.
Please let me borrow your teachers' wisdom.
Thank you for your support.

Carrying Compassion

I read it. As you said, the world is full of conflict. The world is a world where the weak eat the strong, and only one tries to survive by kicking people down. No matter how good intentions you try to act, it's really common for them to be crushed because of the interests of others.
It is also true that there are many people who try to ostracize people who try to live properly and based on conscience and people who try to help the weak.
Human history is a history of strife, and it is also a history of strong people.
Strong people rewrite history without permission in a way that is convenient for them.
It's true that it hasn't changed even today.
But is it really OK for people to be so selfish and do evil? It makes me think.
Is the world really good in a world where everyone only prioritizes themselves and doesn't care about others? That's it.
This is your problem, mine, and everyone's problem.
It is really important for people with a relationship between parents, children, and siblings to live well together, and to respect each other and share a way of life while understanding each other from the bottom of their heart.
We have two parents, but if we go back in our 30s or older, we have billions of ancestors. So in reality, we are all related people.
That's why it's important to live together and be considerate of others.
You, the Emperor, the President, and the people who have become refugees are all connected if you go back a long time.
I sincerely hope that you will put an end to that too.
We are all connected and live together.
Please help each other and live together while being compassionate from now on.
One day, the time will come when we will complete our lives. I hope the Buddha and our ancestors will welcome you wholeheartedly at that time. And I sincerely hope that we will be able to reunite with our close people and live together so that we can rejoice.
I pray that every day of your life will be peaceful and happy from the bottom of your heart with your loved ones.
Please live with a heart of compassion from now on.

The Buddha's heart is very merciful.
And since we're Buddhists, we're trying to become Buddhists.
They are trying to have mercy.
Certainly, there are times when people fight with others in the world.
Among them, let's make an effort to have mercy to the extent that we can.
I think that's our Buddhist practice.

The feeling that I'm afraid of getting hurt

I think this mentality is at the root of your question here.
No one likes getting hurt.
However, life is a long one. We must carefully determine the true nature of that heart.
The true nature of this is nothing but delusion that the worst-case scenario one imagines will occur.
Please take a look at yourself.
Where is the wound? Where are the bruises?
Where are the bruises?
You should know that many people feel as if they have really been hurt even though they aren't actually hurt, and they catch that illusion, get hurt, and make noise about things they don't need to make noise about.
It's a form of ignorance that doesn't see the reality of things.
That's why it's necessary to know the nature and truth of things.
This is what Buddhism is for.
That you don't fall into the hell of your thoughts.
It's a way to keep you from getting lost in your future life.
If you want to live intellectually, it's a good idea to imitate zazen or a zen mind.
If you are interested, please come to the zazen session with your parents if you are a minor.
