From Japan, with Love: Cool Breeze Arrives

Entry #005:

2021 August 7

It’s Summer break. Many will take several days off over the coming weeks. Despite the pandemic, I suspect that means camping, fireworks, BBQs, and beach time for a generous portion of our population. All the while, we very much associate August to the end of World War II. Or rather associate it to each and every piece that is the travesty of war. Yesterday was Peace Memorial Day, a day to remind ourselves not only about the two atomic bombs that hit Japan 76 years ago, but about the concept of war in its entirety. I’m not sure that peace is the opposite of war. To me, peace is an entire spectrum of choice. Approaching differences through an endless number of ways. And war is the outlier. 

As innately animistic thinkers, my belief is that Japanese people can be excellent global thought leaders when it comes to this topic of peace. My hope is that I can contribute too.
