After writing about the concept of revenge, I was inspired to read a book called “Why Forgive?” In this book, there is a story about a man who accidentally ran over his own son.
This man, whom I’ll call “X” for our discussion, was a diligent and caring person, especially when it came to looking after young children. The book suggests that X may have been trying to make amends for his past actions, to find a way to make up for what had happened.
This reminded me of a book I read when I was in my forties, written by Rilke, a German poet. In that book, Rilke talks about how when we encounter profound questions about life, we often seek quick and easy answers. However, he advises that it’s okay to pause and reflect on these questions, to live within them for a while. He believes that eventually, you’ll find yourself living out the answers naturally, without needing to force them.
It’s likely that X had asked himself questions like, “Why did I cause my son’s accident?” repeatedly. Unable to find a clear answer, he might have subconsciously decided to live out his answer by caring for other children.
Many of us may be living our own questions and answers without even realizing it.
私立学校に英語教師として勤務中、40代半ばに差し掛かったころ、荒れたクラスを立て直す策として、生徒に公言して英検1級に挑戦することを思い立つ。同様の挑戦を繰り返し、退職までに英検一級（検定連合会長賞）、TOEIC満点、国連英検SA級、フランス語一級、スペイン語一級（文科大臣賞）、ドイツ語一級、放送大学大学院修士号などの成果を得る。
アメリカで生徒への対応法を学ぶ為に研修（地銀の助成金）。最新の心理学に触れた。4都県での全発表、勤務校での教員への研修を英語で行う。現在も特別選抜クラスの授業を全て英語で行っている。「どうやって単語を覚えればいいですか？」という良くある質問に答える為、印欧祖語からの派生に基づく「生徒には見せたくない語源英単語集」を執筆中。完成間近。常日頃洋書の読破で様々な思考にふれているが、そうして得た発想の一つを生かして書いた論文がコロナ対策論文として最近入賞。賞品の牛肉に舌鼓をうっている。元英検面接委員
