Nichi-nichi kore kōjitsu.
Every day is a good day.
Sounds nice, eh?
Wise even, hm?
Oh, and it's Zen!
Now that's gorgeous, isn't it? So inspiring, these old masters, no?!
Fine!
And now:
Go and tell that the child misused in this very minute.
Go and tell that the man tortured in this very moment.
Go and tell that the woman being raped in this very second.
Go and tell . . .
Come on, don't hesitate.
. . .
Pardon? . . . Ah, of course, to these persons in their very special situation this statement may appear contradictory to rationality but certainly they'll be able to grasp it through intuition on the peak of delight while being misused, tortured, raped.
The peace of the night.
There are so many more examples that are painful to contemplate. As a race, it appears we are seriously damaged.
