2024-01-24 Still, he was one of the adults who has won my utmost respect (Ebata) here. [長年日記]

My father entered the Preparatory Training Course during the Pacific War and lost the war, so his final educational background is a junior high school graduate (middle school graduate).

My father continued to work for the family, and after being laid off from the company, he set up his factory.

However, from my child's point of view, my father could not excel or attract others, and he was not blessed with luck -- to be frank, he was "nothing" at all.

Still, he was one of the adults who has won my utmost respect (Ebata) here.

I can't bring myself to feel sympathy for 'those who bemoan their bad luck based on their education, ability or luck.'

Because I have watched my father's back.

"How can you say you were less fortunate than my father?" I am tempted to ask -- well, I know this is an unreasonable question.

The above logic may sound similar to the following story. However,

Not at all.
