My husband says, “You always get angry after reading newspapers. Don’t read newspapers.” Yes, my usual life is not so dramatic or exciting, but commonplace local one’s.
Four days ago, a neighbor woman I have known long was killed in a traffic accident in front of her house. I was shocked. She was gone. She was killed. The driver is a single mother raising three boys in this town. What a sad story!
Talking about driving, in the local area like my town, most aged people are worrying when to stop driving. Without cars we can’t go shopping or to doctors because there isn’t enough traffic system. Only big cities are prosperous and busy, but old people living in the small towns and villages have to live other kind of lives.
What was the first thing I felt unfair and got angry? Some of my friends could not get jobs after graduating the university because of their activity in it, like students committee, students theater (I was there), or some groups studying socialism or communism. The educational board of the prefecture had (has?) a blacklist and eliminated (eliminates?) those dangerous(!) students, they say. Clever students smartly avoided such activities and friends and never gave any political comments, I could see. They got jobs and were promoted easily after that. I could not accept such a despotic Power and servile people. Since then I am angry, ha, ha! But not always, not at all the people, and not with all the news. Don’t be afraid of me, please!
