Introduction to Change
As we transition from March to April and enter a new fiscal year in Japan, many of us find ourselves parting ways with friends, colleagues, and familiar surroundings. This period of change, while often sudden and unexpected, should be viewed as a positive step forward in our lives.
The Inevitability and Impact of Parting
Change is a natural part of human existence. Facing parting, we often feel a pang of sadness, possibly due to our inherent bias towards maintaining the status quo. However, if we could never part from anyone despite changing circumstances, would continuous communication still be feasible? Parting ways, though it may leave us feeling lost, can also serve as a powerful tool for resetting our lives.
Geopolitical Analogies: Borders and Conflicts
Consider the analogies to border disputes among countries like China, India, Ukraine, and Russia. These conflicts often stem not only from geographical boundaries but also from economic and cultural differences. Unlike humans, countries cannot physically part ways, leading to ongoing, serious conflicts. In this light, parting can be seen as a forceful reset of relationships, necessary for growth and renewal.
The Silver Lining of Departures
Despite these challenges, it's important to remember that leaving or being left is not the end but a gateway to new beginnings. Those we part from remain with us in memory, continuing to influence us just as we continue to impact the lives of others.
Opportunities Born from Change
Parting ways allows us to explore new opportunities, meet new people, and embrace innovation. It's a chance to refresh our perspectives and start anew, even if it means decreasing the frequency of meetings with old acquaintances.
Conclusion: Embracing New Beginnings
In conclusion, as we navigate these changes, let's bless the departures that mark the starting points of new ventures in our lives. I look forward to seeing where this new fiscal year takes us all.
