My dream is to turn the black summer sky into a blue sky and pass it on to future generations.
And at the root of this is the feeling that "future children do not need hatred.

" The other day, I received a newspaper. There was a headline about a high school student in Hiroshima,
"We will carry on the experience of war and the atomic bombing
." The moment I saw it, I got goosebumps.
I think it's good for the younger generation to know the history of war.

However, I feel that it is wrong to pass on that hatred and misery to the next generation. We are here today because of those who experienced the war. I certainly feel that way,
but I think it is wrong to pass on that hatred and misery to future generations.
As times change rapidly,
my generation is one that understands the feelings of the elderly and the feelings of the current young generation.

I am from a generation that does not know war. Throughout my life,
I have had many opportunities to listen to the stories of people who experienced
war and those who were exposed to the atomic bomb.
When I imagine that, I realize that they have endured immeasurable hardships.
I have never experienced war. I have no choice but to imagine.
But imagining it is still heartbreaking.

Now, as times are changing rapidly,
the power of the younger generation is also at a time of incredible liberation.
The education we have received has been educated to
follow the lead and move to the right,
through various programs on the other side of the fence.
I have now been able to let go of that ego and attachment and encounter
my true self. It is said that the younger generation today does not vote,
but it is not that young people today are not interested in politics,
but that they do not trust politics.
Some people have acquired financial knowledge and are making money efficiently,
but the reality is that no matter how much they work,
most people have their salary deducted from their
pension insurance and other sources, making it impossible to save for the future.
That's why more and more people are using stocks and
investments in their limited time.
More and more people are using personal pensions and other means to earn money for their retirement.
When you listen to their stories, in the end,
the only person they can trust is themselves.
That's why they break down and become recluses,
or even commit suicide. On their days off, they can only do what they want,
so it's impossible to ask them to learn about war.
The younger generation today is struggling and suffering in a place where they have almost no options in life.
When I talk to peace groups,
I find them to be calm. People
who enjoy the present. Some people seem obsessed with passing on the hatred of war to future generations.

But most are very kind. However,
I have seen many things that happen to people
who have hatred passed on to future generations.
To put it bluntly,

it leads to self-destruction and suicide. The idea of ​​passing on hatred to future generations is like karma, as it repeats the same mistakes.
Therefore, the idea of ​​passing on hatred to future generations is nothing but insanity, and it is certainly recorded in the books of history that it will lead to conflicts.
So while I personally find it difficult to understand the imposition of war,
I think that what we can do is to increase the future options for young people,
broaden their horizons, and create an environment in which young people can make choices, and only then will they be able to accept war. After that, the younger generation will choose to learn about war and think about what they can do for themselves, and I believe that a harmonious discussion is a step towards true peace. During our street activities, it was young people who actively wrote down the voices of this country. Therefore, passing on hatred to the next generation will mean repeating the same mistakes.
I have come to the realization that what I want to do is to get in
between them, learn about each other's situations and feelings, and connect them in harmony through discussions that involve walking.
There is a clear reason for making the video,
and something has become clear from it.

So I don't want to pass on hatred or misery to the children of the future.
I want the sky that children see to be blue.

However, it is a fact that we are alive today because of people
who have experienced war and the atomic bomb.
I am grateful and respectful of them, and the elderly are living their lives to the fullest. Young people are also living their lives to the fullest. So I will have thorough discussions with peace organizations, and if I cannot gain their understanding,
I will give up on sending the video.
I myself am engaged in peace activities with these feelings in mind.
I would like to convey this feeling to them, respect
each other's feelings, and move in a harmonious and positive direction.
