"Because it's easy to forget." > 자유게시판

Tomorrow, June 23rd, is Okinawa Memorial Day. I write it on my calendar because I forget easily. The Battle of Okinawa took the lives of 100,000 civilians, one in four of the prefecture's residents at the time. And the US military bases that are the foundation of current security. When I think about the fact that much of that burden is being forced on Okinawa, I want to cherish this day, just like August 6th, 9th, and 15th. Reading before bed until the other day. I thought it was Baccarat and a dark story about gambling until I bought it and opened it. But it wasn't Baccarat, it was Baraka, and it was a story about Baraka, who was exposed to radiation after 3/11. In the story, the nuclear power plant goes according to the worst scenario, people can no longer live in eastern Japan, Osaka becomes the capital, and the Osaka Olympics are to be held. It was a story that was so disgusting that it made me want to vomit, with only bad people appearing. Around the same time, the broadcast at that time was re-broadcast to the general public. I was so engrossed in the film that I forgot the time passing, and I realized that it was a miracle that it didn't turn out like "Baraka." I was also made to realize how easily we forget. People forget easily, so it's important to look back from time to time. Takahama Nuclear Power Plant in Fukui Prefecture, which was established around the same time as me, is entering the preparation stage for restarting. They say it's a nuclear power plant that's over 40 years old, but it's not just over 40 years old, it's over 40 years old and I'll be turning 50 soon. I'm just scared. Is it courage or irresponsibility to try to operate such a nuclear power plant...? The Italian high school graduation exam for the general Latin course, which took place yesterday and today, is Un brano di Seneca, a quote from Seneca, so I'll end today with a quote from the Roman Empire philosopher Seneca. "The life of those who forget the past, neglect the present, and fear the future is short and full of troubles."
