May it still be a beautiful life

Every time I see or hear about the many things happening in the world, I find myself thinking more and more that we’ve reached the end of days. This is hardly anything new, as there has always been something or another, ever since I was a child. I don’t remember when I first learned the phrase Yo-mo-sue (the end of days)1, but lately, as I’ve gained the impression that we’ve already reached it, day after day, I cannot help but feel as if there’s actually an even further end beyond that.
