Tired of the ‘me’ culture most of western society has
become, I’ve always, for one, been enchanted by the seeming selflessness of
Japanese society. Even their language reflects this. As an example, the word a
Japanese person would use for his/her own house would be different from that
for your house. Something like ‘my little shack’ and ‘your wonderful mansion’
(I exaggerate but only slightly).
The
title for this blog has been borrowed from a song that still grips me: Somebody Else’s Story, by John
Waller. Stay tuned!
