Why do we resist change? Why do we resist improvement? Some people can't
wake up with just one alarm clock every morning. The reasons are things
like it’s cold or they’re still sleepy. But some people decided to wake
up with just one alarm clock one day. At first, they feel sleepy, but they
drink plenty of coffee and find some leisure in the morning. This is just
one example. Why do we resist change? Why do we resist improvement? Some
people claim that improvement is difficult, but falling into decline is
easy. They end up living a self-indulgent life. Not lifting their futon,
not washing used dishes right away, not meeting work deadlines, often being
late, or not studying before exams. Some people claim that improvement
is difficult, but falling into decline is easy. Yet all these things lead
to them being scolded loudly by someone later, feeling half-crying or half-mad.
They also end up being astonished by everyone later and suffer great embarrassment.
Once shame and scolding pass through several times, eventually they numb
to everything, or so one might claim. Falling into decline is easy, so
they say. Is that really true? Can people rise? Can people change? Can
people endure? Can people, can people, can people? Just one of these would
be enough; I want them to have self-control, improving and making progress.
I want them to envision the best version of themselves, handling all those
ideals. Look, you came to dislike your past self yesterday. Look, you came
to dislike your shy and withdrawn self. People can change, there are those
who say so. People can be reborn, there are those who say so. Those are
idealistic, and ideals are indeed wonderful, but, but, but... Let the self
that vomited at the ideals remain until yesterday. I want you to tackle
each one of the ideals. People can be reborn.
