飽きるから次に進むという性質こそが人間の本能
来週、うちの長女の中学校で1時間ほどお話しの機会をいただいた。1週間今度高専に行く甥っ子と旅をしてきたけれど、やっぱり大局的なものの見方をできる人ほど幸せに生きられる可能性が高い。様々な価値観を体験できて、大局的にものを見るきっかけになる旅はぜったいいい。
一部の限定的なコミュニティにいると心地は良いけれど、見え方が限定的になって大局的にみれなくなってくる。知らないないうちに、自分たちだけが居心地の良いようになって、既得権がでてきて、排他的になってくる。飽きるから次に進むという性質こそが人間の本能。飽きっぽいといのは一概に悪ではなく、どんんどん次に進んでいいと思う。悩んでいるならまず動く。まあ、往々にして悩んでいる時は一歩がでないものなんだけれど、そこがやっぱり秘訣だなと改めて感じた。

The human instinct is to get bored and move on to the next thing.
I have the opportunity to speak for an hour at my eldest daughter’s junior high school next week, and after a week of travelling with my nephew, who is about to enter a technical college, it is clear that people who can see the bigger picture are more likely to live happier lives. Travelling is a great way to experience different values and to get a chance to see things from the big picture.
Being in a limited community is comfortable, but it limits the way you see things and prevents you from seeing the bigger picture. Before you know it, you become comfortable, self-interested and exclusive. The human instinct is to move on because we get bored. Being bored is not generally a bad thing, and you can move on to the next thing as much as you like. If you are worried, move on first. Well, often when you’re worried you don’t take the first step, but I felt again that this is the secret.
