人生がつまらないって人は、その考え方がつまらないんです

2024.2.3

うちの妻が、小学生高学年と中学生のうちの娘たちと本屋に行って、中村天風さんの本を買ってきた。まさか天風さんの本を買ってくるとは！自分は学生時代、中村天風さんの本を読んでとっても影響された。

「人生がつまらないって人は、その考え方がつまらないんです」

中村天風さんの言葉だ。とはいえ、残念ながら読んだその後から行動が劇的に変わったというわけではなく、読んだその後は良いものの、熱気が冷めてしまってまた日常に戻るということの繰り返し。

そういえば、いまだにそのような繰り返しだけれど、いつか燃えるような心を維持できるようになるものか？

People who say life is boring have a boring way of thinking about it.
My wife took our daughters, an upper elementary student and a junior high student, to a bookstore and bought a book by Tenpu Nakamura. I never thought she would buy a book by Tenpu! When I was a student, I was very much influenced by Tenpu Nakamura’s books.

People who say their lives are boring have a boring way of thinking.

These are the words of Tenpu Nakamura. Unfortunately, however, my behaviour did not change dramatically after reading the book, and although it was good after reading it, the enthusiasm cooled off and I went back to my daily life.

Come to think of it, I am still repeating myself like that, but will I be able to maintain a burning heart one day?
