Perfect Days - Is That Really What You Want?

March 31,2026

Income, status, and possessions do give people a sense of security. But aren’t many of them less about feeling fulfilled and more about proving that we are not losing? I am not free from that competition myself, and there are times when I get stubborn about it. That is precisely why the quiet daily life portrayed in the film Perfect Days struck me so deeply. It made me feel that what we truly want may lie somewhere else entirely.
Fulfilled days repeat themselves quietly
The title refers to a film about a middle-aged man whose job is cleaning toilets. It is not a glamorous profession, but he does it with pride. His entire day is also rigorously structured around a routine. He wakes up on time in a shabby apartment, gets ready efficiently, opens the door, looks up at the sky, and smiles as if to say that today, too, will be a good day.

Responsible Proactive Fiscal Policy

February 22,2026

The government’s slogan, “responsible expansionary fiscal policy,” is the kind of phrase that would get you called out by your boss if you used it as the title of a client proposal. It sounds soft and vaguely understandable, yet it can be interpreted in countless ways. Later on, it invites the client’s inevitable “That’s not what we meant”-the kind of ambiguity that leads to misaligned expectations. It resembles the highly abstract, authoritative laws of authoritarian states: conveniently worded so that those in power can interpret them however they like.

The Sun Also Rises

January 22,2026

Right now, for various reasons, I’m going through a difficult time. In moments like this, I think of the Hemingway title that serves as this piece’s heading and use it to stir myself forward. Things may be bad now, but they won’t stay that way forever. After all, no matter how painful the past was, the sun rose again, didn’t it? This time, I want to look back on that idea-that it rises again-and try, little by little, to rise once more.

Growth Through Compounding

December 29,2025

Compounding is not a concept limited to money.
How we learn, how we work, how we keep our distance from others-these things accumulate quietly over time and eventually create significant differences. That said, such growth can sometimes make a person lonely.
 
The Snowball Called Compounding
Recently, the policy interest rate was raised to 0.75%, reportedly the highest level in 30 years. Savings have become slightly more attractive.

Options are a weapon - and a trap

Novemver 29,2025

Toxic workplaces and the U.S. - China power struggle share the same core truth: the side with more options controls the side with none.Not understanding this structure is like stepping onto a battlefield unarmed.

Those without options have no freedom
When you lack options, you get cornered. People take advantage of you because you have no alternatives - they can spin you around in the palm of their hand. In that position, you risk being controlled.
