lying-down power

Original language: 🇯🇵 Japanese

The term "sleepers" is said to be spreading in China today. They study hard, get into good universities and work, but are not rewarded. Under such circumstances, young people lie in their parents' houses and look at the ceiling. They look at their phones or do nothing. The state is said to be alarmed by this as the 'spread of apathy'.

But I think it's okay for me to have that. Or rather, I think such time is necessary.

We live in an age where AI is easily surpassing human productivity, No matter how hard people work, there will come a moment when they will be faced with their "insignificance". That is why, no matter whether you are lying down or working, I think the value of a person doesn't change much, no matter whether he/she is lying down or working.

If someone doesn't feel like doing anything right now, First of all, you don't have to think about being happy. Just go outside and feel the breeze. Or get a pet. You feed it, and it becomes someone else's need again. That's enough.

Or buy something that is not digital. It gets into someone else's hands. Money moves and the world breathes a little. That is also a great "production".

People do not live to be envied by anyone. Especially in highly competitive countries, The more we want "up" and "more", the more we choke.

But the real way of life lies in the opposite. By not moving, the sky can be seen for the first time. The act of lying down, the quietest resistance of our time.
