【葉隠ロック】今や「おとぎばなし」の観だからこそ。。。

”Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”（今日、という日は残りの人生の最初の日／チャールズ・ディードリッヒ  Charles Dederich)

「いつやるか？今でしょ」（林修）

「毎朝、毎夕、改めては死ぬ死ぬと、常住死身に成つてゐるときは、武道に自由を得、一生落度なく、家職を仕果すべきなり」（山本常朝）

　最後は『葉隠』からの引用。

　これを書いている現在、中東で戦争が続いている。一方、我が平和国家・日本はその報道と並んで、大谷翔平を筆頭に大リーガーが活躍中のWBCニュースに沸いている（ようだ）。

　球宴も武士道も、もはやスタンドから眺める「おとぎばなし」なのかも知れない。。。

“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

— Charles Dederich

“When will you do it? Now.”

— Osamu Hayashi

“Each morning and each evening, if one renews the thought of death and lives as though already dead, he gains freedom in the Way of the Samurai and, throughout his life, will carry out his duty without fault.”

— Yamamoto Tsunetomo

The last quotation is from "Hagakure."

    As I write this, war continues in the Middle East. Meanwhile, in my peaceful country of Japan, the news is filled—alongside those reports—with excitement over the World Baseball Classic, where Major League players led by Shohei Ohtani are making headlines.

    Perhaps both the ballgame and bushidō ("Hagakure") have already become something like a fairy tale we watch from the stands.
