(Continuation from yesterday)
This "stupid" like this, is basically rude, lazy, and arrogant.
Needless to say, anyone doesn't want change their own policies and behaviors of the life. Because that is messy and annoying even for everyone.
However, when everyone is going to compromise and change their policies little by little, in order to realize better society.
this "stupid" is thinking "Only I, want keep my policies at all, even if the society is going to change"
To tell you the truth, this "stupid" is not only "rude", "arrogant" but also "harmful"
On careful thought, it is natural that many "seniors" are "stupid writers" like the above.
People for our generations and the beyond, have no more energy or physical strength to change ourselves any more.

Changing the subject.
You know, this summer had been incredible hot, standing in fear of our life.
However, the administrators of the NA(neighborhood association)(including me) didn't stop a evacuation drill in midsummer, and preparation of a summer festival.
This is because that the administrators could not have flexibility of "change with time" of hot temperature trend every year.
(Whenever I found the people with sickly face, I advice him/her to return home soon. I said to them "If someone blame you, you can just say "Ebata's command")
-----
And the dismay of the first magnitude for me, is that there was an administrator who started smoking among people who took a rest of preparation of summer festival.
Of course, I know,
"It is not an illegal activity to smoke in a park (depending on parks)"
However, according to conventional wisdom at the present,
from the viewpoint of decreasing smokers and risk of secondhand smoke, the followings might be expected,
- Once going out of the park,
- searching a place with no people
- preventing smoke escaping to other place ( Smoking alone, without chatting others)
The above are ordinal rules for me, who is a general working people ( and salaried employee)
I was really surprised from the bottom of my heart, to know that the conventional wisdom in my mind, is not tackled by society as a whole.
