When I was in a waiting room at a bank for changing my notification seal, I knew ""sniper attack on the former prime minister during his speech".(The case was later confirmed as a "murder").
I felt that I could not control myself because of my furious rage, and I decided not to touch any news, especially SNS until NHK news from seven o'clock.
After such a major tragedy, I was anxious that I am going to be incontrollable by false news and demagogues.
Above all, I was sure that I could not keep a normal state of mind right now (so I didn't know what I will write out).
-----
I live to feel I am so happy that I can write what I am thinking and feeling freely in my daily life.
I deeply thank many predecessors who have fought to win these rights, and
I deeply despise those who would throw away the act (exercising the right to vote) from my bottom of my heart.
-----
I don't think that election is just a system to elect candidates.
Elections are
- the biggest interview with all Japanese public
- the most important event to measure the persona of named "JAPAN"
- the physical examination of JAPAN
I think so.
The measure values might be changed dynamically by this terrorist attack, however, the result of measure is going to be treated as "our will".
-----
I (selfishly) believe that "voting in elections" is (also) "protesting terrorism against freedom of speech".
Show me our country's willingness to protest terrorism in the "numerical" form of "voter turnout"
Now I am thinking so.
