"A word that has caught my attention recently - Shinrabansho"

Hello.
This is Aoyagi.



The four-character idiom "Shinrabansho"

This is a phrase that has appeared frequently in books I've been reading recently, and it has somehow stuck with me.


According to Wikipedia

=====

All phenomena, everything that exists in the universe.

"Shinra" refers to the endless rows of trees, and "bansho" refers to all things and all phenomena.

=====


Simply put, I interpret it as "everything in this world."

Ever since I was blown away by the sheer scale of it, I've become more conscious of how everything is connected in my everyday life.




The moment I linked with my thoughts

I've always had a rule that says, "I want to understand the other person 100% and provide them with something that exceeds their imagination."

I am conscious of all people I come into contact with, including my family, friends, customers, and convenience store clerks.


It is not enough to simply "put yourself in the other person's shoes," as is often said; I aim to be able to possess the other person and understand their subconscious.

(However, because I am still inexperienced, my wife often tells me, "Think about me too." lol)


When the perspective of the universe was added to this, it felt like things were moving up a gear.


・The color of the sky, the sound of the wind, the sounds of insects, the smell of the land


I thought that if I could deepen my understanding of all things, I would be able to better understand others, including the environment surrounding them.


The key to understanding someone doesn't just lie within them.

I feel that observing and imagining the phenomena around me helps me get closer to my true feelings.

If you use your imagination, you may be able to understand the feelings of people, animals, and plants from other countries with different cultures.

I also think it would be interesting if we could eventually understand things other than living things.



Conclusion

When I opened my eyes to the universe, I was able to expand my imagination not only about people but about everything in the world, and I feel like I have made more discoveries and realizations in my daily life.

No special skills are required; just observe and imagine with the awareness that "everything might be connected."



As someone involved in hip-hop culture, which places "knowledge" at its core, I want to maintain an attitude of continuing to learn until the day I die.
