Staff Effort and Ingenuity
ãSomething like this happened at school.
ãI had something I didn't understand in my studies, so I asked a female staff member, but we ran out of time and decided to continue the answer another day. The next day was the start of Golden Week. The school remained open, but I took my scheduled time off.
ãWhen I went in on the day I was scheduled to attend, I found that while I was away, the staff member who had taken my question had found an easy-to-understand website on the internet. She had compiled it into a handout, added practice problems, and printed it out to give to me.
ãNeedless to say, I was deeply moved and expressed my gratitude.
The Invisible Thing: 'Love'
Some people say that because 'love' is invisible, it doesn't exist. But does that mean that if something is invisible, it 'doesn't exist'?
ãWhat do you think?
ãHow about air? It is invisible. But does it 'not exist'? That is not the case. It exists perfectly well, entering and leaving our lungs with every breath we take each day, and then entering and leaving again when we take the next breath. It is a repeating cycle.
In this way, humans take in 'oxygen,' which is essential for us. We cannot live without oxygen.
ãIf you say that air is a substance, how about this story?
ãI once heard an interesting story about what a 'mouth' is.
ãWhere is the 'mouth'? Can you point to it? Where did you think it was?
ãDidn't you point to your 'lower lip' or 'upper lip'?
ãThe 'mouth' refers to the empty space surrounded by the 'upper lip' and 'lower lip'.
ãIf someone asked what color the 'mouth' is or what it feels like to the touch, you wouldn't be able to answer. Because it is a space. Yet, the 'mouth' exists. Even if it is invisible to the eye, the 'mouth' exists.
An Element of Love: 'Going Out of One's Way'
ã
Here is a dish of 'simmered daikon radish and satsuma-age'.
ãFrom the perspective of the person eating it, wouldn't you feel that just by looking at it, there is no love there?
I think that...
ã'Going out of one's way' is an element of love
I suspect that might be the case.
There, contained within, is a form of love called 'going out of one's way'.
I truly want the person eating the meal to find the 'going out of one's way' hidden within it.
The dish doesn't have 'going out of one's way' written on it, and no matter where you look, if only the dish is presented, you cannot tell how many times the person who made it that day had to 'go out of their way'.
But please, try to imagine it for a moment. The fact that the dish was indeed created by the person who made it, piling up one 'going out of one's way' after another.
A plate of simmered daikon radish and satsuma-age
Here is a person who cooks. Let's call her 'Eiko' (Ms. A).
To make simmered daikon, you need daikon radish. As usual, Eiko decided to go to her lover's house after work. She stopped by a supermarket on the way. Today, she had overtime, so it was a little later than usual. Even so, because her lover was waiting, she went into the supermarket.
Recently, daikon is sold cut in half to suit different uses. The part used for simmering is the top of the daikon. This is because it is sweet. The tail end has a spicy kick and is not suitable for simmering.
Such non-spicy daikon is popular. Since that supermarket is on the way from the station, the top parts of the daikon are sold out early in the day. When Eiko arrived, there were no more tops left.
However, Eiko knows that her lover's favorite dish is 'simmered daikon and satsuma-age'. She goes past her lover's house and 'goes out of her way' to go to another supermarket to buy the top of a daikon.
Also, regarding the satsuma-age, there is a specific type that the person eating it prefers. She 'goes out of her way' to choose and buy that one.
Her lover's house does not have a gas stove. There is only a microwave. Many apartments these days are like that. It is all-electric. And when she gets home, she 'goes out of her way' to simmer the daikon in the microwave for 40 minutes. This is because Eiko knows that her lover prefers the daikon to be soft enough to crumble when pierced with chopsticks.
To create that recipe, even though Eiko may have made simmered daikon on a gas stove at her own home, the situation is different with a microwave, so to ensure it is delicious for them, she 'goes out of her way' to repeat trial runs many times. Finally, she creates a recipe for 'simmered daikon and satsuma-age' with melt-in-your-mouth daikon that suits that person's palate.
And now, that 'simmered daikon and satsuma-age' is being presented by Eiko's own hands, served on a plate right in front of her lover.
'#GoingOutOfMyWay'
The dish doesn't say that she went to a supermarket past her house, it doesn't say she 'went out of her way' to choose the satsuma-age the person eating it likes, and it doesn't say she 'went out of her way' to test the recipe many times at home. But, it is packed with countless instances of 'going out of one's way'.
The dish has a '# (hashtag) going out of my way' attached to it, even though it is invisible. Please try to unravel the context (the dish) in front of you today. What kind of elements are lurking in this dish?
And please, try to remember and imagine. The food that was on the table today.
What was the weather like that day?
Wasn't it your favorite dish?
If such things are difficult, you can just have a conversation.
'Is that the usual fried fish cake?'
something like that.
The Power of Choice
It takes power to make choices.
If you are going home today, 'which is the best route?'
For example, let's say it was raining that day.
If you take the road on the right, it is certainly faster. You can get there in a short time. But the road on the left has less traffic. You can walk safely.
Is the path you should take today the right one or the left one? You decide in an instant. Because you are walking.
If you walk while making three or four such choices, wouldn't you be exhausted by the time you reach home?
The same thing happens when cooking.
Cooking includes 'making choices' as an element separate from 'going out of one's way'.
Eiko made the 'choice' to 'go cook' at her lover's place.
Since the daikon radish tops weren't at the usual supermarket, she made the 'choice' to 'go to a supermarket further away'.
She might have made the 'choice' to 'serve' it on a plate that makes the simmered daikon look appealing.
While making those choices, the food somehow ended up in front of her lover.
What Remains at the End
'Spending time' for that person.
'Spending money' for that person.
'Going out of one's way' for that person.
'Responding to feelings directed only at you' for that person.
'Spending time,' 'spending money,' 'going out of one's way,' and 'responding to feelings directed only at you'âthese are things that can be done because a partner has love for the person they are showing affection to.
When it is judged that one is not worth 'spending time' or 'going out of one's way' for, the decision to break up quietly takes root.
And, of the remaining two, when it is judged that 'spending money' and 'responding to feelings directed only at oneself' are not worth it, that relationship ends.
People are not strong enough to continue a relationship to the point of having their feelings exploited.
Even if you think you can just let things slide, it is only a matter of time, sooner or later.
Conversely, these four things can be invested because there is love for one's partner.
And these four things are the source of power when making choices.
As long as these feelings are in your heart for your partner, you can say things are okay.
Returning to the story of Eiko-san.
If Eiko-san had not gone to her lover's place that day, she might have been able to clean her room. The same goes for food. If her lover hated mushrooms, she might have been able to choose to fully enjoy a mushroom dish she liked. That time could have been used for herself. However, she took the time to go see her lover.
Whether you take that act for granted or feel grateful for it, that is the fork in the road.
Finding those 'going out of one's way' moments requires just a little bit of observation, imagination, and conversation. Please, do not overlook those 'going out of one's way' moments.
