What does living mean

I quit my job last year and have been NEET ever since
The reason I quit seems stupid but it's because I don't understand the meaning of being alive

Looking back on my life at this age, it was so empty that I didn't have anything to be proud of

However, I couldn't feel happy in being alive, and I thought I wanted something that I could recognize myself because it's okay to be complacent with myself

I learned once again that I can't do anything because I don't have anything I can do, I don't like effort, and I don't have any abilities
I don't feel like doing anything and I've been stuck in my room for close to a year

I've given up my hard work, and there's no way I can do anything now
I've wanted to disappear many times, but I don't have the courage to die, and nothing can be done

I don't know how to deal with myself anymore

I'm sorry for the messed up sentence, but what should I do from now on
After all, is death salvation?
Please answer

It's painful to be alive, and it's painful to die

The Buddha said that everything is painful, everything is so painful
More specifically, “birth, old age, illness, and death,” this comes down to nothing

I was born before I knew it! , what is this, it's painful to live!
Something is getting old though! My physical strength is getting weaker and my skin is getting weaker, how painful is this!
I'm sick though! I went to bed early and got up early and ate three meals, but what is this painful!
I almost died though! I don't want to die, I hate, I hate it!

Well, for the most part, it's like this; after all, it's unavoidable suffering.
Death itself is not salvation; death is death, death
Salvation is a promise that the person who dies will pass away in the Pure Land.

Well, I'm in my 20s, the same as Haruki, so I'm going to hit him head-on with that feeling

There's nothing to be proud of, let alone it's rare for people in their 20s to be proud in a proud way
I'm nothing special, I'm just an ordinary person, or just an ordinary person who doesn't have any special abilities or anything
Even if I give up my hard work until now, that's a story up until now and I don't have to give up somewhere in the future; I've also run away from various things until now, and there have been times when I quit my job because I vomited a weak voice
But even after becoming a monk, there are a lot of things I want to run away from, but even so, it's hard, I feel like I'm being crushed by pressure, I'm still holding on while crying while being scolded, I'm trying to do something in my own way, even though I've given up on a lot of things until now and kept running away!

We're both still in our 20s
Let's just live for now and then look back, and if there's one last thing we can be proud of, no matter how small, I think that's fine
Because it's an ordinary person, it's this body that has been completely dirty by accumulating various small sins, isn't that enough

So that you can get your own food, clothing, and shelter

To live is to move around in response to suffering.
In response to the pain of being hungry, they move to search for food, etc.
Imagine a time when you were really in trouble with your life.
Things that are fun, such as things you can be passionate about or things you can be proud of, are not the motivations for human behavior.
I have no choice but to do any kind of boring work in order to get a place to sleep tomorrow and food for today; that is a normal life.
I want to go to the toilet and suffer; when I finish the toilet, I want to go back to my room suffer; I run away from suffering from suffering here to the next, from suffering to suffering, and the place where I escaped also suffers; that is life.
Why don't you make it your immediate goal to be able to earn your own food, clothing, and shelter?

When I wake up in the morning, I prepare my futon first

“I've given up my hard work, and there's no way I can do anything now...”

That may have been the case until now. But do you know about tomorrow? Who will you be in 1 year?
No one knows. I can't believe they live their lives deciding things that no one else knows. It's your me (ga).

First, set a time and live your life. I wake up at a fixed time in the morning, wash my face, eat a meal, and brush my teeth.
Let's go outside. When I left the front door, I took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.
Walk for 1 hour with a large stride without waving your arms and looking down.
I just look at the scenery, listen to the sound, and walk around smelling the scent. Put aside your bad self (me) with good profit and loss

You'll notice that you're being kept alive regardless of your own will.
Once you notice that, you can do whatever you want. You'll also know that nothing has to be this way. Negative thoughts don't come up.

If you have a habit of looking down your face, make a habit of intentionally looking at the sky. This alone is something different.

Everything was as good as people in the old days, so I was working for the time being

One of my classmates was a serious girl and a boy who was skittish. The girl said, “I'm going to be a career woman!” I said that and jumped into the apparel industry. The boy said, “I'm going to be a savory man!” Said compa (?) So I got a promise from my senior about Savory Man, so I wonder if it was construction? I entered. They're pretty good at it (laughs)

However, a few years later, when we met at a seminar OB meeting, I heard about it. Girls were affected by the recession, and even if they wanted to work in worksharing, which was popular at the time, they could only work 2 or 3 days a week. The boys were also sent to a subsidiary as soon as the training for new hires was over, and it was completely black. Actually, my senior was the one who did it.
It wasn't this way!

Elementary school, middle school, and high school all have dreams, and they teach you to draw your ideal self, but that's a lie. In reality, the majority of society says, “I want to do ○○! I want to be ⚫ ︎ ⚫ ︎!” I'm not happy with new graduates who think that. “I want to be ⚫ ︎ ⚫ ︎!” Even if there are people who say you should have that feeling, in most cases, that “⚫ ︎ ⚫ ︎” is the ideal “⚫ ︎ ⚫ ︎” for your boss or company. Who on earth benefited from that education?

I think they started teaching that kind of thing after entering the bubble period, but since then, the suicide rate of Japanese people has been rising steadily. It's only now that it's finally starting to drop, though. At last, everyone understood. I said it was wrong. That's why the number of former athletes who say this has increased recently, right? “It's dangerous to focus too much on sports haphazardly.”

But that's fine. Heroes of the Russo-Japanese War are interesting. I wanted to study and become a great politician, but I was frustrated because I didn't have any money at my parents' house. I had no choice but to become a soldier who could study while getting paid. Well, I didn't try too hard; I did it to the point. At the same time, “Why are you always at the top of your grade even though you haven't studied at all?” I was asked, “If you analyze the examiner's tendencies and personalities from past questions, you can see what questions will be asked, right?” I answered. So, in the end, he analyzed the tendencies and personalities of the Russian Imperial Navy and got a no-hitter and became a hero... it's a person named Akiyama Masayuki.

In Japan before the war, military personnel were generally employed as salaried workers. I didn't get a job for a big reason at all.
Actually, the reason I work is “to eat” and “because NEET makes it harder,” this is more than enough. This is going to be a fully fulfilling life.
