間違いなく落第

2023.8.21

閉じ込められ逃げ場がない環境だと、人は差異を探すために時間と能力を使うことに必死になり、いわゆる「いじめ」が発生するという。

人と違うことがいじめの対象になるのは、学校などもっともだろう。

かくいう自分もアラスカの最高峰デナリや、南極最高峰のヴィンソン・マシフに登る際に、運命共同体の閉ざされた社会で、なんとしても登頂、登頂しか頭にない自分と、同じような友人とともに弱いメンバーに当たり散らしたことがあった。

もしあれが、宇宙飛行士選抜試験だったならば、間違いなく落第。

Definitely a failure.
In an environment where people are confined and have no escape, they will desperately use their time and skills to look for differences, and so-called ‘bullying’ is said to occur.

Being different is probably the most common target of bullying, especially in schools.

When I climbed Denali, the highest peak in Alaska, and Vinson Massif, the highest peak in Antarctica, I was in a closed society of a community of destiny, and all I could think about was reaching the summit at all costs, and I, along with my friends who were like me, beat up on the weaker members.

If this had been the astronaut selection test, I would undoubtedly have failed.
