I am writing some articles in Japan for kids who are suffering from the relentress bullying. It looks I was doing fine. But I failed. I failed to communicate with the girl who seemed to be a homo sexual. I guess she is getting abused by her parents because of her sexuality. She is 13 years old, gentle, smart girl being abused. I tried to email her to give her an advice to cope with, only to be refused by her. There is nothing I can do. Nothing.
I was wondering how people can do such a thing. People of the child destroy the little girl with brutality.
Why?Why?Why?
I saw the same sign on the board beside the ruin called...nothing, empty page.

Night On The Milky Way Train
Allow me to introduce a poet of Japan, Miyazawa Kenji.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenji_Miyazawa
His works are brilliant. Night On The Milky Way Train is the children's story about a boy, Jovanni and his friend, Campanelra. They travel on the night train to the stars. Jovanni is the boy who cares his mother's sick. Campanelra is worrying about whether his mother forgives him or not. I guess his mother died due to his birth. They meet up some people on the train and see the how galaxy works and learn what death is. It could be a dream of Jovanni. He wake up on the hill and notice Campanelra's death of drowing in the river, in their town. Jovannni begins to think what happiness is, not only for himself but also for people, ordinary people. It is a gentle, deep, short story about children's psychology, which inspires human's soul.
I am sorry that you can not read his books. I was wondering after reading this book. Miyazama Kenji was so gentle that he could be a "terrorist" if he lived at the moment. Nobody understands what is called "terrorists" are humans with a heart, I guess a soft and sensitive heart. Nobody tries to imagine how the man decides to kill oneself, with the bombs to kill the world. They are the poets who can not survive in this world with absordity. They are the rabbits in the submarine, died 7 hours before we are choked.
Open your eyes in your heart. See this world. And check out how many hours left on the blue submarine on this Night.

Hello, Good bye, Hello again 3
The mechanic had our car towed to the repair plant in the town, which is named Bathurst. The boss of the plant told me it would take 4 or 5 hours to fix the clutch and cost me $500. We decided to make it fixed. The staff took me to the center ofthe town. We had to kill 5 hours there. We went to bank to withdraw money and had lunch at a hungry jacks. I do never eat any fast food in Japan since I had seen a documentary film "Hibakusha" about radio-active pollutions in this world. http://www.g-gendai.co.jp/hibakusha/index.html
The film taught me the potatoes grown in Hanford,USA, the land which is polluted by radio-active are imported for Macs chips in Japan. I am too afraid to eat any fast foods since then. But, running out of money, I had no choice in Bathurst. The shop was crammed with lots of Indian students. I was wondering why such a many Indians were here. No matter. I did care of how I survive hangry jacks. I was the hangry jacks hoping no potates came from polluted land. Value combo, I ate them up. I was sorry the food tasted shit, chemicals. I was wondering why Indians were eating these shit. They are the master of spices, I enjoyed their food when I was in India. Why do they have to eat these chemical shit? I began to sucpect food educations in Austarlia is not so good. Shinka and I left the shop.
We were walking around the town, small but good enough to kill 3 hours. We found a park to relax. Sitting down on the green grass, I was a family playing on the ground, a family with an Aboriginal woman. It was the first time for me to come accross an Aborigine in Australia. She looked like a baby-sitter. I was watching the family without any thinking.
The guy who took me to the town, came back to in front of the barbershop. He drove a good car, Ford, I told him we went hangry jacks for lunch. He answered "Bloody hell". The car was so comfortable compared to our car. I told him I wanted this car. He said "Bloody hell, Toyota is better than Ford". I love flattering. Our car was on the road in front of the plant. We completed payment quickly and rashed into the car. How did it work? Perfect. The mechanic set the clutch a bit heavy for a long drive. I liked it.
We drove the car, this time with care, paid attention to every signal we passed. We saw the sunset in the middle of nowhere. It was beautiful, one of the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen. I wished I were the wild life in the waste land so that I could see this sunsent everyday. However, I am the human-being who might hit the wild life on the road. The night had came, and we were still on the way to Griffith. It was almost a midnight we got Griffith. We were looking for a place to stay. Shinka said "My dream is staying in Motel once in my life". I said "Why do not we?" We went to buy wine and stayed in a motel. The morning after, we could not start the engine of fucking car..... again..... I regreted that we stayed in the motel. But it was too late.

Japan hangs four prisoners on Chiristmas day
Do you know Japanese people celebrate Christmas day? It is a strange phenominon. Most of us are not Christians. We might be Buddists. But I think it is better to articulate that most of Japanese are atheists. We still maintain the death penalty system. I think we should abolish the burutal. Chiristmas season is the season of death penalty in Japan. The justice ministry wants to hang the inmates every year. This season is the last chance for them to kill. And almost nobody cares what is going on the jail because they are busy with buying christmas presents, preparing for New year. However I guess all of the death-row inmates are afraid of they can not survive untill New year. Despair. I always feel weird when I got a message "A Merry Christmas" from Japanese friends. To be honest, I want to destroy the Christmas day of Japan and the death penalty system as well. What do you think?

Japan hangs four prisoners on Christmas day
Four death-row inmates were hanged on Monday, the first executions in 15 months in Japan, informed sources said.
The Justice Ministry announced the number of those executed but failed to publish their names.
Former Justice Minister Seiken Sugiura refused to sign any execution orders, but incumbent Justice Minister Jinen Nagase ordered the execution of four death row inmates three months after he took office.
Those executed were Hiroaki Hidaka, 44, a former taxi driver convicted of murder and robbery; Yoshimitsu Akiyama, 77, also convicted of murder and robbery; Yoshio Fujinami, 75, convicted of murder and robbery; and Michio Fukuoka, 64, convicted of murder.
The fact that the executions were carried out in the last week of 2006 -- making it the 14th straight year death-row inmates have been killed by the state -- shows that the Justice Ministry apparently wants to maintain the execution system in Japan, observers say.
Sugiura's predecessor, Justice Minister Megumu Sato also refused to sign execution orders from December 1990 to November 1991. Both Sugiura and Sato reportedly did so based on their religious beliefs, as Buddhists. (Mainichi)

Ordinary Diary
I went to see Earth's Stage yesterday held in Osaka.
http://www.e-stageone.org/
It is a show of Mr. Kuwayama, a psychiatrist of Japan, who travel all over the world sometimes as a traveler or a international aid staff. Most of Japanse people are not concerned about world issue like poverty, natural disater, and war. Because Japan is the island located far east of Eurasia continent and Japanese govermnet had never sent any troops to overseas since the end of world war 2. His aim of Earth's Stage is to try to introduce problems of the world through his journey. He sings and talks with lots of pictures and video. It was amazing. He used easy words to make him understood for children. It was first time for most of the audience, about 2000 people, and me as well to see his show. It looked he send his important message to them, which was success. But I was wondering his way of convincing people is good or not. He describe this world as beautiful, I mean too beutiful. I understand his words very well. He said "Refugees on camp in Somalia and Cosovo and somewhere else are suffering. But they struggle to survive with positive thinkings and atitudes. I am surprised how children in the refugee camp smile and make a cheerful laghter. It was same after the ruin caused by big earthquake of Pakistan and Indonesia. I never thougt I am helping them. I am helped by the people who I offer my services to. Their courage to live, toughness, close relationships of family, which we lost long time ago......" It was nice, totally nice, but he never blamed on who start the wars, what causes world povety. It could be a right decision not to mention any of causes so that people who know nothing about how the problem trigered by idiot act. They never hurts, feel comfortable. But, now, right now, people are being killed in Iraq, in Palestine, or somewhere else, without any reason you can articulate, caused by the goverments who count money to get into their pockets, international companies who want to make money with oils after the gulf war... We never hurts, but those people under expensive bombs of USA army hurts. The million dollars of bombs and weapons which the total of Iraqi and Afgahn people can not afford with all of their money are destroying the life of the poor now, the resolute of ungency now. Fuck that. This world is wrong. I was talking to myself such a things.
My friends also came to the show. One of them, Atusko, who felt the same way as me said "The show was too beautful and perfect to join in. I felt detatched. Maybe I can not see things straight. Anyhow I felt it strange." She is working in Kobe as a NPO staff, a kind of social worker in a Japanese way. I agreed. But I did not say what I thought during the show. It was too dark. I mean I was thinking about the blood of Iraqi people, whose head was smashed by cluster bombs. I could not shut the image away, the image behind picture of beautiful moutains and natures Mr. Kuwayama was showing. It was a skull of small child shatterd by the bomb, there was a deep darkness inside the bone. I was thinking the truth is lying on the deep darkness, in the abyss I was seeing, the truth to lead the world to the right way. I was in a silnce, surround by good friends I love.
And then, I went to see one of my best friends, who is Bermese. He was an asylum seeker who detained in the detention house, which is Japanese Abu Ghraib prison, "Nyukan" for almost 2 years. He got married with a Japanese woman had baby last month. I saw him last time over 1 year ago. I was excited and looked forward to see him. We meet up again at the same old place as usual. We went to drink at a restaurant with a girl. She is the leader of peace movement in Osaka, named C. C is suffering from the depression. She have a mental doctor who give her some rules to keep, one of which is never go to drink. We broke the rule. I did not mean to. Maugn did that. I thought it was right and ,at least, she can learn from him how to cope with the depression. Maugn must have the depression in Nyukan detention house. But it was wrong. It turned out he have never got the depression in the hell. Anyways, we talked in the pub, talked about mainly "Marriage". We each have their own problems. C broke up with her boyfriend a month ago due to the depresson. Maugn have the frustraion of living with the partents of his wife. I have a girl friend who are working far away from me, in Oman, I have not seen her since past February, now that I start to think I should describe her as ex girlfrind. Every of us hurts. C said " I was told by my friends it was not good to break the relationship during the depression. But I did not break. It was him to say good bye. I know it was a bit too hard to keep it normal because of my sick. But..." Maugn said "If I were you, I will work on next one." I was just listening to her. I was trying to analyse her, my major was psychology which I hated to study. I was thinking the broken relationship is the main reason of the depression, but I was thinking another thing, which is the gender bias in Japan. C is able. Very able. Too able woman in Japanese society brings lots of envies and harrasments from idot men. She must have such a experiences through her activity. She was working in a welfare home in her local town just before she she got sick. "It was too much work for me. I felt strange day by day and I realized I am sick a month later." Maugn was listening to her carefully. "And I broke up with my boy friend. I do know why. We love each other, are fond of each other. But I came to feel I have some fears on him. Sometimes he got angry with the reason I do not understand. I was trying to make him easy. And then I realized my self I am afraid of him. I am afraid to say something which I concern to make him angry. It was difficult. "
Gender bias. The boyfriend also did not know or notice the reason why he himself was angry. He He can not name the anger he had. He can not, because if he name the feeling he has, it would show the fact that he has fear of C, I mean C's ablity. I guess that he must have give her a reason to be angry at random. "He did not like me when I am elated. I did not mean to show off." It is too complexed. They should have gone for counseling together. The problem is her boyfriend never ever wants to go for counseling because of his pride. Fuck Pride! Pride is the apartheid wall, the disorder prevents true love. Maugn showed a photo of his brand new baby. We laughed at the baby's face, which is funny and cute. Maugn was worrying about his baby does not look like him. No, he does not look like his father. I said "He looks like you When he grows upm and acts like you and annoys you a lot" I am such a sweet person who believe in that true love waits. C laughed, anyhow. I was hardly succeed to make her laugh. But she must have suspected she laughed at it because of her medication. Hard. Reminds me of the words of Samuel Becket,
" Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better"
It takes time to get over the hardship. But you will. You will fail better again. That is right.
