Cranes live for a thousand years, turtles for ten thousand years.
My two grandmothers were named Tsuruko Fukuda and Kameyo Sato. In other words, they were the grandchildren of Tsuru and Kameyo.

A human life is, at best, 100 years at best.
A human being can live only 1/10th of a crane and 1/100th of a tortoise.

I want to live a quality life because I believe that life is not only about length. We, human beings, have been made aware of the reality of “death” by the Corona disaster. Considering the suicide of a brilliant young actor and the problem of euthanasia due to an incurable disease, perhaps we should think not about how not to die, but about how to live more.

I still don’t know what it means to live.
For me, I want to find the meaning of life by taking on some new challenge. It doesn’t matter how trivial it is. It can be something different from yesterday.
Only in that way can you discover yourself.

Adventurer Jacques Mayol succeeded in a 105-meter (1983) bare dive when he was 55 years old, the same age as I am.

That said, I wouldn’t challenge myself there, but wow.
Let’s all live with lots of vigor and challenge!
