hasunoha

My self without a future

With my abilities, I don't seem to be able to live the way I want
I wanted to be born someone other than myself. I just wanted to get results over others for the effort I made
But I'm incompetent, so it's impossible even if I make an effort
I want to die already

It's not that there is no future, but something that definitely lies ahead of “living in the present”

Good evening. My name is Kameyama Junshi.

The way you want to live isn't necessarily the best way to live for you. This is because you seem to think that you are incompetent, but maybe you have a self other than the one you are aware of. For example, if you cite me, until a few years ago, I hadn't even thought about activities through the internet like this. However, I happened to know about this site called hasunoha, and I thought there was something I could do as a person living in Buddhism, so I have arrived today as an answering monk. You won't know how your life has been for you until later. First, “live in the present.” It's not about having abilities or not, it's about seriously tackling the challenges in front of you right now. That's probably all there is to it. And even if you live a life different from the one you envision right now, if your life has been a series of “living in the present,” I don't think you'll ever regret it.

These are my answers. It's not that there is no future; it certainly exists before “living in the present.”

Hello.
Neither I nor you can be anyone else no matter how hard we try. Yes, that's right.
Do you know a calligrapher and poet named Mitsuo Aida?
This person is a person who learned Buddhist teachings about a monk of the Soto sect, and the poem contains a lot of Buddhist essence.

From Mitsuo Aida's poem.

You can be you.

Life is meaningful only because things don't turn out the way you want them to!

Hello, thank you for writing about your painful feelings!

It's natural since I was born into this world that things don't turn out the way I want them to.

Please think about it. Everything will turn out the way you want... there were no predictions or future. because it's just what I thought. You may be happy at first, but you'll soon get bored.

The reason why know-how such as “attracting life the way you want” becomes a hot topic at spiritual meetings is precisely because this world doesn't turn out the way you want it to.

When I say the word effort comes up, I think it's a word that comes up when you feel that it's hard to do that.
If you're really interested in doing something you want to push forward with,
I don't think the word effort comes from myself.
I don't think there is a sense of effort when you do it with enthusiasm.
I think the reason I compare myself to others is because I don't think what I do is fun.
You really don't have time to compare your life to others.
That's because everyone doesn't have that long in their lives.

Perhaps you haven't found what you really want to do yet.
It would be foolish to give up the treasures of your life before you have unearthed them.
Also, dying is by no means easy.

I pray that you will find what you really want to do.


Response to thank-you writing 2: Respond to the thank-you note for the answer.
There is a limit of one thousand characters, so I'll overwrite it.
I'm sorry if it hurt you.
You wanted them to work hard enough on your own and acknowledge that.
Unfortunately, I read your post and wanted you to be aware of your real possibilities.
It's a pity that that thought didn't seem to come true.
it's my immaturity, isn't it? I'm sorry.

After working hard on my favorite path, I got stuck,
If it's really hard right now and I can't help it,
It might be a good idea to relax a bit.

I won't write answers on this site, so don't worry about visiting this site
Please write down your concerns.

I wish you happiness.

If the ideal person you want is actually you
If you change the person you want to become,
Most of that person's life begins in a series of hardships and despair
If I had crawled up and knew there is now,
Do you want that person's life?

If that's why your ideal person can always smile
I think it was because it was a series of such hardships and despair
What would you think if you knew it?

What if
If your ideal person is always smiling,
It's someone who knows how important a smile is.

What if
If your ideal person seems to be happy,
That is, happiness is like a flower blooming from sorrow or suffering
It's someone who knows it's a thing.
A person who has been given everything from the beginning
You can't know what happiness is.
because being able to get what you want is “natural”
That's why.
Because you can't do it, what is happiness, and what is its preciousness
It's about thinking.

That's why I'm in pain right now,
If you can think about what your happiness is,
They are people who can “feel” happiness.

It's that sensitivity not only to oneself, but also to someone else's misfortune
It means you can demonstrate it.

You are someone who can be close to such people.
Your suffering becomes someone's foundation.

Painful, painful, envious, jealous, infuriating,
I think that heart is in the opposite place, but thankfulness
It's a heart you can feel.

I hope you will take good care of that precious heart.

For someone who can one day be helped by you.

Whoa whoa and whoa to you.
