The following is from today's Sankei Sho.
The last chapter is an excellent one.
It is not good to apologize without reason.
The young man, K, was arrested without being informed of the charges against him, and a puzzled look appeared on his brow.
When my father scowled at me and told me to tell him what I had done, I felt like I was guilty even if I hadn't done anything. I felt guilty even though I hadn't done anything.
The film "Judgment" is based on Kafka's novel.
It is said that the director, Orson Welles, caricatured the "original sin" that lies dormant in human beings.
It is a frightening psychological portrait if you think about it, but if you have ever used words like "excuse me" as a lubricant in a private setting, you have experienced it daily.

The term "shuttle" refers to regular round-trip flights.

However, one cannot turn a blind eye to South Korea's past behavior.
Whenever there has been a change of administration, relations with Japan have gone back and forth between pro- and anti-Japan.
Diplomacy with South Korea has been a barren shuttle, a lost cause with no way out.
One would not have made it if one had learned from history.
The morning editions of the Tokyo Newspapers on August 8 carried the headline, "My heart aches."
