Interesting Post on SNS
The other day, I read an interesting post on SNS. The story was as follows.
On one evening, the writer went for a long walk to the beach nearby his home as usual. On his way back, he chose the same alley as he had passed by some time ago. However, as the night fell, it turned totally dark and seemed to be quite a strange place. He imagined to himself as if he had been acting in a horror movie and thought that this could be the right time and place to be ambushed. At that moment, he noticed a quirky shadow approaching him ahead. He froze at the sight: it seemed to have several lanky arms and legs and walked clumsily. The next moment, he realized that a small man, holding three stacked chairs in his arms, was toddling on the alley. He instantly spoke to himself, “Oh, please do not walk in such a way at such a dark night.” He concluded the story with the following phrase, “Shadows can make us play games in our mind.”
After reading this post, I was really impressed by his high imagination. Also, this reminded me of a Japanese saying, that is “疑心暗鬼”, which means that suspicion will raise bogies. In fact, he was scared to see a strange shadow in the total darkness and doubted that it might be a kind of monster or something. I think that darkness and uncertainty can sometimes make us doubtful and timid, leading to misunderstanding or misdeed. Anyway, I think he has a knack for finding the small, everyday things to be interesting and thought-provoking.
先日、SNSで面白い投稿を読んだ。その内容は次のようなものだった。
ある晩、筆者はいつものように自宅近くの海岸まで長い散歩に出かけた。帰り道、先ほど通ったのと同じ路地を選んだ。しかし、夜になると真っ暗になり、見知らぬ場所に思えた。まるでホラー映画に出演しているかのような想像力が働き、ここが待ち伏せされるのにちょうどいいタイミングと場所かもしれないと思った。その時、前方に奇妙な影が近づいてくるのに気づいた。その光景に彼は凍りついた。それは細長い手足が何本かあり、不器用に歩いていたからだ。次の瞬間、小柄な男性が3脚の椅子を腕に抱えて路地をよちよち歩いているのに気づいた。「ああ、こんな暗い夜にそんな歩き方をしないでくれ」と即座に独り言を言った。彼は「時に影は我々に心の中でゲームをさせる」というフレーズでこの話を締めくくった。
この投稿を読んで、彼の想像力の高さに本当に感銘を受けた。また、これは日本のことわざ「疑心暗鬼」を思い出させた。これは、疑う心は怪物を呼ぶという意味だ。実際、彼は真っ暗闇の中で奇妙な影を見て怖くなり、それが怪物か何かではないかと疑った。暗闇と不確実性は、私たちを疑ったり臆病にさせたりして、誤解や悪行へと導くことがあると思う。とにかく、この筆者は日常の小さなことを面白く、考えさせられるものにする才能があると思う。

SNS (social networking sites) are fine too but SNS is just not a commonly known abbreviation in English.
The other day, I read an interesting post on SNSsocial media.
The story was as follows.
On one evening, the writer went for a long walk ton the beach nearby his home as usual.
On his way back, he chosewent down the same alley as he had passed by some time ago.
However, as the night fell, it turned totally dark and seemed to be quite a strange place.
He imagined to himself as if he had been acting in a horror movie and thought that this could be the right time and place to be ambushed, as if in a horror movie.
At that moment, he noticed a quirkystrange shadow approaching him ahead.
Quirky has a sense of amusement attached to the meaning
He froze at the sight: it seemed to have several lanky arms and legs and walked clumsily.
The next moment, he realized that a small man, holding three stacked chairs in his arms, was toddling odown the alley.
He instantly spoke to himself, “Oh, please do not walk in such a way at such a dark night.” He concluded the story with the following phrase, “Shadows can make us play games in our mind.”

After reading this post, I was really impressed by his high level of imagination.
Also, this reminded me of a Japanese saying, that is called, “疑心暗鬼”, which means that suspicion will raise bogies.
In fact, he was scared to see a strange shadow in the total darkness and doubted that it mightsuspected it to be a kind of monster or something.
I think that darkness and uncertainty can sometimes make us doubtful and timid, leading to misunderstanding or misdeed.
