I think about death
2013-11-08
The lecture of "the meeting which regarded death as life" was held the other day at the hotel in the city. It is a lecture of Alfonso D Ken Father of the Society of Jesus. He launches this "meeting regarding death as life" with Mr. Hinohara of the St. Luke Hospital of Tokyo, and it is said that this "meeting thinking about death with student" started in a city of the all over Japan. A Japanese was not opposite to death and was anxious about a long time thing and death was not at all a far-off person and seemed to want to convey that it always stood back to back for the end of the life of the world. In addition, he teaches philosophy in Sophia University and hears that I perform a class filled with humor of "the philosophy of the death" after retirement.
It will be Yotsuya of Tokyo where is in front for 30 years now to have met him. To me who did the chief editor of the Catholic magazine, D Ken Father was able to come to the fourth floor of the center publishing company (existing sun Paul) in the other side of the station by way of a walk aimlessly in those days when a class was over for the advertisement of the book of his own from Sophia University. I remember that I laughed so that skin of the stomach is always twisted.
It was got old to some extent after having been over 80 years old, and it seemed to be got old, but the contents were full of humor and warmth not to change all the time. I was able to talk before a lecture began. At first, I did not seem to understand it well, but memory at the time and the memory of the reencounter in Onomichi six years ago seemed to come back while I talked.

Nothing knew myself, him until recently what you knew. I knew only his book which how many the number of was about a state and "the death" of the class to perform at a university. Is totally intellect and others about his half life; was equal to be.
I served the director of kindergarten in Onomichi for 11 years, but I invited Kazuko Watanabe sister of the Notre Dame pure soul to the 50th anniversary of the kindergarten and have performed a lecture. I heard a good old voice from TV which I touched to do even if I saw it in the evening on the following day. It is a voice of Father D Ken. When I closed a book reading in a hurry and paid more attention to a screen, the voice of the announcer who talked about his half life sounded through the ear.
He lost father in only 4 years old. It was an own approximately 50 centimeters away place, and father died of the plural assassin's bullets which the officer of the Nazis gave off in front of eyes when he was going to protect the Jew family who was the friend that it was going to be to the victim of the Jewish manhunt of Nazi Germany with the body.
When he experienced it, he was only 4 years old. Then it is not talked about whether you think of what, and he thinks, and you grew up very much. I still only remember that it was said, "a question about the death that I cannot express as deep sorrow remained" according to the words of his own clearly. I chose the way which he chose the theological college of the Society of Jesus at the end of impressionable youth, and became a Catholic priest.

"The life shortens in the words that I use well at the time of funeral for one hour if I live for one hour for one second if I live for one second when I carry fate to say that we die if born on my back and live in the world". When "I come across the death of the person or when I come across the death of the relative, the person who does not look back how oneself lives in us thinks that I am not". I have a talk, "you must do way of life that I think that you may be invited to the death whenever".
Of course it is a rough story, but changes the assembling to the situation. However, I pray you that I want you to face death through imminent death although being so good.
By writing of D Ken Father, there is a book published by a joint work with Father Ken and Ayako Sono on a day, "I think about life and death" going out of print now at my hand. In the book Father D Ken "forget a somehow disgusting thing as soon as possible, and the Japanese seems to think that is with a drum about "death". However, through being aware of a thing, death being aware of death approaching close, there is a point saying, the person may not know that I can prepare for the better last.
Therefore there may be a trend to say that I avoid that the sick person hears how long there are the remaining days for fear of saying because the Japanese does not learn the importance of such a "propaedeutic of the death" from the doctor either. However, a way of thinking called the hospice is becoming the common sense now, but power is put in the point that it relieves the last pain, and there seems to be distance for a way of thinking to have it is better and prepares for death and invite last moments still more.
I may be going to think about the importance of thinking about death with more people in this sense by organizing "a meeting regarding death as life".

Myself experience parents and brothers, the death of the relative in the imminent place, too. Or I experience the death of the graduate. It is until March of this year, and 13 various places die when I work as rectorship at a church in particular and gave a funeral service at a church, and two have already died at the church transferred to newly. I think that a place feeling reality to tell to die if born closest may be a church.
The human brain is like the thing living without feeling of strain slowly even if I face reality of the death if the remaining days considered to have been selected are not sentenced to surely. I am finally conscious through the death of a relative and the relative when a human being is a thing dying sometime and begin to be going to stare at for the first time own way of life. At that time, really "can die by oneself with now on? To the family that I think that I want you to think elsewhere what kind of way of life will there be from now on?, and there remained it, I am thinking about a wake and a funeral story.
Alfonso D Ken Father is the theme called "a propaedeutic of the death", and "telling the death" publishes a textbook of the nursing school, "present at death" "thinks about death". Though it is the book which I obtained by transfer from the older sister who was a pediatric nursing divisional commander-in-law, I reflect whenever I read if recognition about the death is more shallow.
I want to send days in a chest by the word to "think about how it lives in now to think about death".
