Facing up to history in "the caring way"

Early in the morning when I went to the living room, I saw books to tell how to read and understand old documents of Japan, especially of the Tohoku (northeastern of Japan) area. My father had borrowed the books from the library in neighborhood. These books give the key to read old documents, I think 500 to 1000 years ago.

This reminded me of "history" around World War 2 era Japan and neighboring countries. It's being 70 years since Japan lost the war, and comments about leaders of these countries is making me a little bit sad.

It doesn't look like that make efforts to know the past truth together and not for people from both countries to feel bitter or sad.

It appears to me that , regretfully, each of both country including my country doesn't care much if people of the other country feel sad, and it's also regretful that I don't know how to know the truth in the way, "in the caring way", that minimize hurting the people of each country either.

This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
