Saturday – Clear

March, too, is now over. As we repeat the cycle of emotions, life passes by in an instant. I cannot help feeling that the next ten, twenty or thirty years will pass by in the space of a moment. Must value my time every day. Again, the problem is how to spend these precious hours.

This is a society in which people with no conviction and no basis, who do nothing but criticise others, are considered wise. Must remember that although people with conviction and ideals may appear passive at first glance, they are ultimately the stronger and happy ones.

Whoever advances with an ideal is strong. Fiercest of all are the winds and waves that buffet the sails of a king’s ship. Never falter or be afraid.

A Kamata area leaders’ meeting was held at the K.s’.

Home at 12:30. Received word that T.’s baby had died.
