Give a reason not Just be conscious

2018-04-01

• There was a reference to Give a reason in the comments in response to the duplicate article, but I felt it was more of a Just be conscious.

• Why Just be conscious instead of Give a reason?

• The lyrics are written by the same person, so from a distance they are very similar, but I’ll try to verbalize why one of them feels different from the other.

  • (PS) but the lyrics were different to begin with.
    • Give a reason(G): lyrics Lyrics Satomi Arimori
    • Just be conscious(J): lyrics lyrics MEGUMI

• (G) I’m sure there’s an “answer” somewhere, an answer that was born

• We all want it, and we all go for the dream that we can’t resist.

  • This is where I first feel uncomfortable.
    • The concept that the “answer” is “somewhere” and you seek it assumes that the answer is somewhere far away, not you. This is where it doesn’t feel right. - The answer is not outside of yourself.

• (J) Happiness comes in different forms., Don’t let other people’s words deceive you.

• I don’t need patronizing hypocrisy.

• This one fits better. I agree with what follows, “Since we are living in the present moment, we should do what we like and enjoy,” and I don’t want others to decide that this “what we like and enjoy” is “going to a dream in search of an answer that is somewhere far away.

• On the side of Give a reason, I sense a desire to get out of oppression and a sense of anxiety about the possibility that my future self has not found the “answer”.

  • (G) as if struggling to get out, I wanted to try this power

  • (G) I don’t want to regret doing nothing.

  • (G) Give a reason for life to my future self, I want to deliver it

• I’m in a state of running on impatience of having to find answers, which is also driven by other people’s values.

  • Trying to get out of oppression itself is already in the composition of oppression.

• Give a reason is “keep running” while Just be conscious is “feel a chance” # luck to get out of oppression.

  • Blaming others won’t change things Luck, chance, coincidence, and timing, sharpen your mind and feel

• The notion that “I have to keep running” creates oppression and frustration.

• If you’re in a hurry and running in the dark, you don’t have time to sharpen your mind.

• You can’t find the answer by running around looking for “the answer somewhere else,” because “the answer is inside of you.

  • The Blue Bird of Maeterlinck
    • The real answer within you.

• Silence, tranquility, interlude, need time to stop and [introspection

  • “Music is the silence between sounds.”Music is the silence between sounds

  • By the way, consider the consistency of “[After walking so crazy, so hard, so empty, a clear road map will appear in your heart alone.
  • With no signposts in sight, it’s hard to know which way to go.
    • Standing still at this time won’t change anything.
    • So we need to “walk on empty”.
  • Signposts come to mind as a result of walking, and these come to mind “in your mind alone”.
    • The signposts are not outside, they are inside you.
    • I think we need some time for quiet reflection after all the walking around.
    • If you keep running after frustration, you won’t notice the signposts in your mind
    • Sharpen your mind and feel…

• (J) People become stronger and kinder every time they know a wound Truth after tears Living in the now that is irreplaceable

• I want to like myself tomorrow, so I hug myself today.

• It’s a waste if you don’t at least enjoy your life (drama) in which you are the main character.

• It’s not a good idea to whip yourself into running today.

• There’s no drama that keeps the hero running all the time.

• The most important thing is that the protagonist enjoys performing.

• By the way, the title “Just be conscious” has a focus on “notice” and “notice”.

• Lyrics about noticing are here.

• (J) same suffering over and over again, labyrinth all the way until you realize it

• And, by realizing it, you get out of it. So what do we do to get out of it?

• (J) listen carefully and find out that there is always a way out

• “Listen carefully” is a refrain from “sharpen your mind.”

  • (J) Blocked up in oppression, blaming others won’t change luck, chance, coincidence, and timing sharpen your mind and feel.

• This is where you should notice the most.

• Sharpen your mind and what follows when you sense an opportunity.

  • (J) Grab that dream in both hands, now, and take off your unnecessary pride.

  • (J) Run, don’t look back, time is ticking prologue

  • Programming in Logic is the introduction to the story. In other words, it is from there that “my life (drama) in which I am the main character” (drama) begins to flourish.

• Run after you find an opportunity, don’t run from the beginning, “listen first to find an opportunity.”
