"African Heart" English translation
久しぶりに英語に翻訳しました^^
日本語訳はこちら⇒"African Heart"(日本語訳)
In a distant memory when I was about 18, I encountered some article. I even can't remember that publication's name and title, but I can never forget that story in my heart.
Some journalist visited Africa on business. In his spare time, he walked around the town with a camera, then he saw two African guys. It seems like the two guys didn't see each other for a long time. They hugged and one of them picked a small gift from his pocket, saying, " Thank you so much" and gave the present to his friend.
The journalist was interested in them and asked something, " What memorial day is today for you guys? I'm curious about why you said, "thank you" to your friend? you even gave a gift to him."
He answered the journalist's question," Today is not even a memorial day for us. I've just been thinking of a gift for my friend and that makes me please. I mean, I cannot realize the meaning of my life without his existence. And today, we can see each other, so we've got to thank God. " Then quietly, he looked up the sky.
Everybody is never too old to receive something with a joyful heart. Family, friends or lover who Loved you is such a pleasure as a human. However, possibly, the purpose of life is to please every one regardless of size and how much you can do it.
Everybody has a different path or achievement in life. Those ways could bring about happiness and contentment. But ironically, you would have lost something important.
I had a job before in a trading company for seven years. It was great but I changed everything about my life like destroyed it by myself. That was my decision and I'm carrying out recklessly in life up to now. Of course, it's a sense of fulfillment. But I assume I lost something significant even though I may don't realize it yet.
It's a personal matter, my birthday came around couple days ago. At that time, I wanted be alone. I mean, I didn't even want to see my close friends. I have a meaningless pride in terms of social position though I almost lost everything that I had before. So far, I couldn't be like the African guy. But one day, I'd like to be one.
If your birthday is coming, I wish you could give a heart-warming gift for your dearest person and say, "Thank you so much^^".
