2023-02-20 "They felt so happy that they wanted to call out to all the people on the street and share this happiness with them" [長年日記]

I recently took a trip to Kanazawa with my family.

The whole family can no longer gather together on rare occasions.

This trip may be the final one, but that's okay.

-----

Since we are all adults now, there are no longer any restrictions on the stories we can tell in the pub.

I heard some naked stories about how to use matching apps.

Well, I just sat back and listened while drinking my non-alcoholic beer (I was sick and my throat was crushed).

-----

This is when the topic turned to a story about 'Have you ever been dazzlingly happy in your life?'

I told them that I sometimes felt happy when I was in graduate school continuing my own favorite research, however,

My wife and senior daughter chose "love affair" only and said,

"They felt so happy that they wanted to call out to all the people on the street and share this happiness with them"

They both said, 'Yes! Yes!!!' ' and they were so excited, so it seems to be an objective fact.

My junior daughter seemed to be "I don't really understand," and I didn't understand at all either.

-----

And then I suddenly remembered this

If a cult is something that makes them 'so happy that they want to call out to all the people on the street and share this happiness with them', then maybe it's worth it....

For a moment, I almost thought that, but I immediately withdrew the idea.

I felt like I was 'tarnishing' the precious memories of my wife and senior daughter.

-----

The next time someone on the street asks me, 'Are you happy right now?'

"I'll punch him/her in the face in no time"

I have come to think that.
