Just Breathe

You know I really don`t know where we come from. I don`t know where humans come from. What is true for all of us is that we get to be here! we get to live. We get to feel what it is to breathe! and to see and to smell! Maybe there was an auction before we lived and you needed a ``a golden`` ticket to be ``chosen`` to go to Earth and live. Everyone of us is lucky for that reason. Even the poorest person in the world and the most wealthy. We are all here living!

Japan as of late

After a somewhat lax period of time not writing I have decided that now is a good time to resume. I`m torn right now with the fact that it is quite expensive to travel in Japan. It is 60 dollars to travel from my town of Iwaki to Tokyo and that is just one way. However, I have figured out a solution to beat the system. I am torn with my motivation to do this sometimes. I am always looking for ways around obstacles. Should I just go along with the common? What I`ve found is that if you get on the train without paying for a ticket and ask to buy your ticket on the train then the train master will charge you only 20 dollars. I do this every time I go to Tokyo. When I do this though my mind comes up with all these different thoughts. What is the environmental impact of your train ride to Tokyo? Should you really be paying the full amount? As we enter the next years of our life it becoming increasingly important to travel to other nations. I do believe that the age we are upon will rely heavily on interdependence. As I speak with many people on the subject they all come to agree with me. One of the great conflicts with this however, is that if we do this we are flying airplanes more and planes are very dirty to the Earth. I really want to know how clean my travel is an my train to Tokyo. It is an electric powered train, but there is still a generator somewhere getting power some way. The way the Japanese culture works is by leading the individual by hints rather then answers. Japan is a very clean place, however as my sister has recently remarked there are no trash cans anywhere. I`ve tried it once. I`ve dropped my trash and just walked away refusing to carry my trash and no person around me said anything even looked at me. There was no cold shoulder or comment. After 2 minitues though I went back and picked the trash up led by my own pressure. It leads me to believe. What would happen if the U.S were going to take away their trash cans would that improve the situation? Culture leads these people and their practices.
