About human growth
2016-03-04
 I was able to finish a graduation ceremony safely. When I reach the fifth year in this year and look back on the fourth year from the first year, thought to be really ashamed is born. When I look back on these four years when I knew nothing really, by little lets you understand anything, and accumulation for one year thinks that I brought up the eyes seeing the whole somewhere of the heart for one year called 5 in 4 in 2, 3 from the first year that I did not know at all.
 
  When I handed you a certificate, I noticed a look of the strain of students, a calm smile, various expressions. I noticed that I received a certificate with such an expression again every year. When I was reminded of it by you how long oneself conventional was the narrow human being of the field of vision, I want to thank many various places that supported me with patience some other time. Still, I think that you must continue growing up still more.
 
  I exchanged the certificate of this year with a special paper paper. The folded paper crane which I do not entrust Peace Park of Hiroshima with every year seems to have been sent from the student who visited Hiroshima for school excursions in Japan and overseas people, but the folded paper cranes of the considerable number seem to gather when I do it in the year. I could not easily dispose, and various things seemed to be thought about by an old thing. I did not dispose of the folded paper crane in that, and a plan to say how about if I changed it to the new figure and saw it appeared and I actually dissolved a part of the folded paper crane and made paper and seemed to see it. It seemed to take price plenty, but there seemed to be a very good thing. I decided on our using it and handed it to a graduate as a certificate for the first time this year.
 
  The picture of the folded paper crane is printed out small by the back of the paper. People who got it know the meaning of the paper and think that you should have you think about peace. A thing saying that it is peaceful is ignored worldwide, and uneasiness is born in the situation with a nuclear weapon of Asia to a nuclear weapon by power for power. Think that the world peace wants to know what do not realize at all when is thinking only about the profit of the own country; nowadays.
 
  In one of Matthew "a person realizing harmony is happy. The person is called Son of God." There is a point called (Matthew five chapters nine sections). It is a famous point called the truth fortune twilled fabric (I deplore the amplitude) at the church. The energy that it is serious that it acts for peace to live for a person and readiness and a strong will are necessary when I think. The readiness so as to say that I am on the way and may fall down is necessary because it is to work for social peace not peace in only among oneself.
 
  Of yes you pardon me for saying so, but Jesus is committed for the peace, and think that a life was hung even on the cross to bring peace. It is only different from the peace that we think about. I healed a disease for people (people panting in the person who is in trouble and suffering person, poverty) made small in particular in society and was had talk that could have courage to live for a heart.
 
  In other words, not own peace, it seems to be said to the person who is in trouble and suffering person, poverty that it leads to peace of the world to help a panting person. Because Jesus who is Son of God was committed for peace, the person working for peace seems to be able to think even if after all it is called "Son of God".
 
  It is said, "the human being must continue learning until I always die.", but notices a thing lacking at all still more, a thing insufficient at all if I look back how oneself is living for peace now. As well as it, I notice that learning is incomplete about other many matters. I think that there is the importance of continuing learning in this sense. The word to tell "to continue learning until I die" is not exaggerated at all and thinks that it is demanded from God that I think about what oneself should just do in living time given it and act.
 
  It was the graduation ceremony that I was reminded of by oneself such. It was the day when I wanted to acquire the custom of becoming modest, and learning more and yet more well.
