When I entered the university in 1983, the exchange rate of yen/dollar was $1 is equal to 250 yen, so when I said I intend to study abroad some people derisively pointing out saying simply I can't because I can't afford. But the rate abruptly started changing from 250 to 150 yen within one year from 1986 to 87. Needless to say it became much cheeper to stay in America than in Tokyo.
Japan's economic growth kept on from then on and when I started teaching in 1988, the exchange rate was around 130 yen. Japan's economy was called 'bubble' economy. It was much more inflated than the real economy. At that time I didn't feel I was spending too much money, the feeling I would have felt if it's now.

Game
Game
2007.03.02 1:03
Believe or not, I'm a fanatic person. In my latter-half of twenties some months after I started teaching in a cram school, I was extremely enthusiastic with spending my pastime in an amusement corner, here we call 'game centre'. I was extremely particular about keep on playing two games, one was a poker and the other was shotgun game. In a shotgun game we need to know the pattern -when a monster appears, or how we can get through in order to avoid encountering obstacles, etc. So naturally the more we play, the farther we can go. It took one dollar for one play.
In poker a girl takes off her clothing every time she looses, as many other card games as well this game consisted in the utilisation of male's instinct. It took tremendous hours and money. I remember I spent $1000 combined. I finished getting through to the end eventually. I was able to feel a full of satisfaction.
One year later when I went to Dublin I found the same machine at the very centre of downtown Dublin. I made it through in just one time try. After I finished, I turned back finding 5 or 6 people standing and watching after me. I was a hero. People must have thought I was able to do it because I'm Asian, but the fact was only I had just learned all patterns every nook and cranny. But how about how to take off clothings of a girl.
Still learning. Life is not a game.

I didn't attend the graduation ceremony in high school. Because I thought I would be unable to summarise my 4 years in high school days at only one day-the very day of graduation. 6 years later I didn't attend the graduation ceremony in university. Because I intended to have kept on learning also after the very day of graduation.
This is regarded as the appearance of my wish to eternity, continuity, or immortality, since graduation is not the end of one period but the first step to another commencement.

I lived in Kokura till age 20. The vague light was shining through the window of the bathroom in Kokura's house, and I would often see the light while I was taking a bath.
Tonight it was for the first time though I noticed the similar light was shining through the window of the bathroom while I was taking a bath. As if I thought I were in Kokura's house.
You see this indicates the truth of deja vu. Deja vu is not what we see now. Deja vu is the feeling as if I were in the same place or time that I experienced. When we relaxed, this feeling appears.

Ok, let me see..
Otaku means originally the polite way of refering to 'home'. It connotes clandestine, introverted male who is only in pursuit of their own realm of interest. Their common image is those who wear a strong near-sighted spectacles with black plastic frame, a slightly upwarded front teeth, thick lips with spotted pink speckles, with a magnifying lense attached camera hinged by long strings from their neck, wearing short wrinkled trousers, their legs are O shaped.
Of course they have neither girlfriends nor have courage to say hello to young girls healthifully. Instead they like to sleep with the photos of idles who wear a particular costumes like those of stewardess, nurse, maid. Their sexual activities are done own their own, or they feel satisfied with peeping, transvestism, fetishism instead of an ordinary act.
Those people are called 'Otaku', negatively, pejoratively, and derisively.

Cram schools, prep schools are just so common in Japan's society. In their advertisement they tend to show off the number of students who passed some of the extremely competitive universities like the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Medical schools. One cram school was warned by fair trade committee that the number of the passed be exaggerated. I was lucky to be fired by the very school many years ago.
The power of cram school is so limited, they like to borrow the aura given off by those prestigious schools. Might they show a larger number instead of showing the actual number out of their same feeling that they must have felt in showing those prestigious names of schools?

Hugging is common way of greetings in Western culture. But this way is not common in Japan. If we try to hug a woman before we leave, she will reject strongly. If we do this between men, others will consider we are gay.
I think it's because the land of our country is so narrow so we've learned to keep some distance from each other in natural way from ancient times.
We do instead bow, we tend to keep about one metre from each other and tend to repeat bowing. Westerners might think we are playing see-saw.

Because Japanese people are much more homogenised than Americans, we like to categorise our characters by our blood types.
There are four blood types. Type O is characterised by ambitious, energetic, enthusiastic, bold, showing leadership, tolerance, acceptance, summarising, paranoiac, fanatic. Type A is astute, rigoristic, theoretical, analytical, formal, traditional, scholastic, systematic. Type B is liberal, unique, novel, revolutional, creative, artistic. Type AB has two characters that are found in both A and B, so sometimes called schizophrenic, double character. Combination men O and women A, B, AB are much better than men A and women B, men B and women A, AB themselves. Combination women O is only well fit with men O.

I thought it is a price for our labour. But the manager of our premises said it derives from profit we earned.
Strange.
Suppose if our salary were derived from the profit, we can't earn it if no profit was made. On the other hand we can get much more if we can get more profit than expected.
If our salary is a compensation for our labour, we can get our salary regardless of whether our company came up with no profit or much more profit.
Things are our salary ought to be paid regardless how much profit our company generated. Profit has to be reflected in our bonus, incentives, perk, or pay increase.

My suggestion as to the interpretation of dreams is in dreams everything is opposite to the incident in our real world. Subject turns to object and vice versa. In a dream I am chased and I fly, I am free from the chaser. My interpretation is I chase and chase but never get the prey, instead I fell into the deep mire. This is the situation in reality.

I often have the similar dream which is I am chased by someone or something that is superior to me. Then at some point I can get away with their chase after I was able to fly.
I was struck by the mook that was being displayed in a bookshelf at the entrance of some supermarket. The title of the book was 'The Interpretation Of Dreams' In a cover seven dreams are interpretted as follows.
Dream being chased - you have a complex. Dream being fallen - you are losing your confidence. Dream you fly - you are ambitious. Dream your teeth being pulled out -destruction of your family. Dream you are in labyrinth - struglle between your spirit and body. Dream you have sex - frustration. Dream you have a party -hoping encounter.
Accoding to these interpretations, I have a complex and I am ambitious.

Word is not an absolute ruler. Suppose when I said in front of my girlfriend that' I love you', all I meant was 'I love her, up till then'. But she thought 'I love her, for the rest of my life'. So when I said good-bye to her after I said I love her, she can't blame me for my saying previously that I love her.
Word is not absolute but just a convenient tool, to back our idea at the moment we utter.
Rational is the term in logics. If it's consistent, we say it's rational. Good or bad is the term to measure a moral value. Rational things ought to be morally good, probably. But the real world we live is very different from this theoretical ideal. I suggest you try to interpret any word in the context. Any same word is used very differently.

I understand how you perceive things differently from other ordinary people and you know as well. This is very different from other autistic people. Because often autistic people insist only their world view is correct and that of ordinary people is wrong. As long as you notice your difference you are also a part of ordinary people since ordinary people perceive things differenly among themselves. All perceptions vary depending on each individuals.
Certainly your perception is unique. Just try to adopt similar perception with others, then you can adjust by degrees.

So in order to get along with others in reality, you need to share similar reality, not to say exactly the same. That's what we've been doing in our daily life. But in religion you don't have to share similar reality. But you must share only one belief, or faith in other words, that is where religion stands.
If you can share this belief even if you can't share common reality with others, you can succeed in living in religion. So theoretically there's no problem as to your being religious even if you are autistic as long as you have this belief, or faith.
Judging from your original post, you are pessimistic about living both in reality and in religion. Here's your choice. You choose to live in reality by trying to adjust yourself to how other non-autistic people behave, or you choose to live in religious world by accepting only one belief, which no one can verify. Therefore you can believe without hindrance. I have been seeing many renegades who were refused by society in the first place are often accepted warmly in religion later on. But my recommendation for you is that you had better try to promote in your real life first. I think you can succeed. Religion is the last resort for those who lost something in real life.

I understand how you perceive things differently from other ordinary people and you know as well. This is very different from other autistic people. Because often autistic people insist only their world view is correct and that of ordinary people is wrong. As long as you notice your difference you are also a part of ordinary people since ordinary people perceive things differenly among themselves. All perceptions vary depending on each individuals.

Thorn
Thorn
2007.02.21 3:47
Poet Rilke was killed by the thorn of rose by which he got injured. Recently I was injured from the fin of fish, part of the fin is deep inside my index finger of my left hand. Was he suffered from leukaemia? Or is the inflammation from the injure the cause of his death? If the thorn were pulled out, the injure would be cured soon. So harsh.

My questions are
Are Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego resurrected? Was Jona saved from the stomach of big fish? Why similar Gospels have to be written three times?
I'm reading books of minor prophets. I read four Gospels at age 15. I will resume reading from Acts soon.

Your assumption is firmly based on human knowledge. It is irrational for us to decide whether creator exists, therefore I said that religion is based on this irrationality. This irrationality has nothing to do with the nonexistence of creator.

Many young people quit their job. Once they deviate from an ordinary course, it's so hard for them to enter the regular workforce again. Instead many are absorbed into dispatched labour force. Their pay is considerably lower than that of the ordinary workforce. I can see some day in the near future many of them are enlisted in regular force. Some of them are willing to take part in the force because of the benefit they will get. Personal poverty will be the storehouse for the military force.

I didn't like religion until recently, yet I started reading Torah about five years ago. I have often thought religion is irrational.
Religion is irrational, it's true, however our real world is also irrational. Many years ago I thought religion is more irrational than the real world. But now I thought religion is more rational than the real world.
Our real world is an endless result of irrationality. However long we live, we can't oevercome this irrationality. Religion is based on only one irrationality, which is not verifiable by anyone. We don't have to get over this irrationality because religion statrs from this irrationality.
Which do you choose to live in reality or in religion?

She bought me a contraceptive, but actually a spermicide, a tab for insertion. Effective ingredient is Menfegol, which kills semen inside her vagina.
I used it for the first time. She knew more than me as to sexology. Her body was very warm last night. She said she can tell whether the day falls on her egg-day. Both we are over 45, we don't want kids.

I like ganache chocolate, so I buy it and have it almost everyday. In Japan there's a custom a woman sends a chocolate to a man whom she likes on St Valentine's Day. I got two chocolates. Both two were ganache chocolates.
Ganache chocolate was much more expensive than ordinary plain chocolate and it was hard to buy in a supermarket many years ago -ganaches were able to buy only in a French patisserie. Thanks to the recent technological development, ganache chocolates have been comercialised and many new products are sold in a store. But the ganaches they gave me are the ones bought in a patisserie. I finished had them in two days, feeling how my responsibility over them -two women are heavy.

Destiny
I have no position, no job. So theoretically I can leave my country. Still my former love who lives in San Jose has been inviting me to live with her. Anyway I feel very weary these days for some reason.
You see I like foreign girls who speak English. Many times in the past my girlfriend was from abroad. However in reality, I happened to have a Japanese girlfriend. Unfortunately that discourages me a lot. If I chose to live together, I would have to give up being a writer. My objective of life is to be an English writer, not Japanese. She's an attractive woman, I admit though, who is unable to understand English at all. Sometimes happiness kills a talent.

Handmade Chocolate
One of our coworkers made us a handmade chocolate. I had a bit of it and it was more delicious than ready made cakes. She's going to turn her 45 years soon. I never regard her as a woman since we are working in a closed area, in such a situation inhibition and harmony work together, but love never gains power.
She was an interim love on one day.

I think there's still a very long way to go till being called the anti-Christ from just disputing whether his is a son of God. I think he was often called a son of men, because he was born to human parents. When Herod asked him whether he's a son of God, he didn't say yes, instead he says 'as you said so'. This matter only depends on how we think, not how he thought.

I guess you understand what I was driving at.
You see if anti-Christ means as the woman told, there might be too many anti-Christ. Those who do not believe Christianity are almost automatically 'anti-Christ'. In Judaist belief they are still waiting for the advent of Christ. Even among Christendom, those who believe trinity won't accept that Christ would be a son of God, but rather a God himself. In short 'anti-Christ' ought have been used in very limited way as the anti-Christ, or an anti-Christ.
Assuming from what you taught me, she would have been talikng about being anti-Christ.

As long as I know the anti-Christ means those who claim to be Christ in Greek, Messiah in Hebrew, the anointed one in English, anyway a Saviour.
According to some woman, she concluded that the anti-Christ is those who oppose the idea that Jesus is a Saviour and a son of God.

Pre-Roman times kind of Celtic languages were widely spoken throughout Europe, including those of British isles. Insular Celtic languages known as Gaelic are still spoken long after Continental Celtic languages known as Gaulish extinguished circa 2nd AD. So it was not surprising the language of Brittany resembles Brythons, that is one of the Insular Celtic languages.
Now I was able to find another difference in Gael and Gaul.
