No country for Eternal Sunshine

They say Japan is the country where short-lived, transient things are venerated : samurai (quickly killed), sushi (quickly eaten), and sakura (quickly blossomed and fallen). Things don't last in this country. Happiness and human relations are fleeting. This was the hard lesson I learnt this year. It is difficult to accept for a heiress of ancient Greek Cosmos and Christianism, that promoted eternal, indestructible things. Eternal sunshine of love. Indestructible power of individual will. These are sweet dreams in heart-breaking Japan.

Enjoy the sakura while you can. They won't fight to stay on the branch.

Everybody's got to learn sometimes

And now by day !
