190. About a word of "free" in English
original uploaded on 2017/02/18 16:09 (GMT)

My mother tongue is Japanese.
But I thought about a word of "free" in English.

In English world,
a phrase of "I am free." or a word of "freedom" are often used.
But this word, "free," must be used in a way
that "free from XX."
That is, that mean is a condition
that "something is losing any connections with other."
We often use a word of "free" in a situations,
when we are released from some systems
or difficulties which constrain myself.

But I think the last thing is left,
even when I feel that I am released from anything in the world.
The last thing is my wills.
So when I completely lose anything which constrain me,
that is, when I completely lose anything which I feel constrain my heart,
Japanese word, "

" which is read as "jiyu-",
arises in my life.
("

" means "I" or "myself"
and "

" means "stem from."
So "

" means "steming from myself."
In Japan, when we want to say that "I am free.",
we say "I am

")
I think we can not run away from our own hearts (#)and our human natures.

"Freedom" is also very important word, I think.
But when only a word of "freedom" is used,
this word focuses only on "being released from something constraint."
That is not enough for us, I think.
I think, "You are released from some which controlled you strongly.
So, what do you want to follow after now and during a rest of your life?
And what do you want to do next?"
(A situation of "freedom" itself is very precious, I think.)

So, I decided my slogan of my site in English as
"To live depending on myself freely, I think by myself
NO HEART, NO LIFE"

(Attention: this article related in two languages, "Japanese" and "English."
So, I translated this article
with keeping a condition of equivalent meanings
between Japanese edition and English edition.)

I added words "and our human natures" after (#).
I do not want to live against our human natures.
