LETTER FROM HAPPY ENGLISH SCHOOL Oct. 23rd 2023

Hello. Autumn has finally come and it has got very cool in the morning and in the evening. I am not sweaty during the daytime anymore, which is really good.

In spite of the nice weather here, the world situation has become stormier and stormier. Violence is rampant around the world and nobody seems to be able to stop it. The UN is not the last resort to stop wars and the US does not serve as the world police to keep order any more. Russia and China are on one side and the US and the EU are on the other. It is getting more and more difficult to get any crucial issues resolved in a world that is split and polarized by a rift between dictatorships and democracies in the UN.

Hamas and Israel, Russia and Ukraine, Syria, Sudan, and Yemen are at war as well as other nations. The world is in chaos and it is expected that more and more displaced people will be scattered around the world and the number of refugees will certainly increase.

Self-interest, hostility, hatred, and revenge are all factors which drive people and countries to fight. Why can’t we get treatments or medicine to get rid of all those negativities ?

God, please help bring us world peace.

イスラエルとハマス・パレスチナの戦争が勃発。世界の平和がいつ訪れるのか。

私たちは個人を尊重し、多様性を理解し、隣人を愛することを規範に行動しなければなりません。私利私欲、敵意、憎しみ、復讐の否定的な感情を昇華させなければ世の中に平和は訪れないでしょう。

英語は本当に世の中の様々なことを知るのに必要です。英語の学習は英語でニュースを聞いたり本を読んだり、また様々なことを話したり書いたりすることができるぐらいまで続けてこそ価値があるといえるでしょう。

Go for it.
