I've read the book "How do you live?" by Genzaburo Yoshino recently. And the book reminds me of some important things. So I write down the things I don't want to forget here.
First, the book asked me an important question. "What do you create for this world?". I always consume a lot of things to live. At this point, I must not forget the truth that everything is made up of a lot of people's hard work. After having read this book, I want to produce more and more things for this world. I'm making some music and writing some lyrics now. But it's not enough, I think. So now I'm doing like this hoping that writing this helps someone to live their life better.
Second, this book describes the importance of what you feel from everything and how you live by thinking by not someone else but yourself. I believe this is so important. I'm writing my lyrics every day. To do so, I read a lot of books, poems, lyrics and so on. I think the writers who emphasize their way of feeling the things have such real and unique insights, ideas, and words. So their works are amazing and move my heart.
So, at last, I'm always back to myself. I ask a lot of questions to me. "How did I feel at that time?" "How do I express the emotions I had at that time by words or sounds or way to sing?" and so on. No one teaches the answers. There're answers only in my heart. Thus as every day, I emphasize how I feel. This book's message touches my heart.
Today I wrote down important two things I've learned from this book. Having read my sentences, how do you feel? I hope that this may inspire you. Love from Japan. Feel free to leave me a comment.
