My dream is living for world peace.
What can I do? What should I do? I'm looking for the answer.
I traveled 35 countries when I was a student.
Then I had worked for 3 years in Japan and quit the job as an accountant in 2014.
I'm traveling around the world after retirement.
I wish to visit every country in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be in touch with local people.

Interests

I'm crazy about free hugs.
I did free hugs many times during this travel.
Everyone's smile make me happy.

Happy New Year 2016

People often ask me "How come are you doing free hugs?"
I usually answer them "For world peace"
Then they smile at me and accept free hugs, and some of them say to me "I agree to you"
However, world peace I think may be not the same as one they think.
What is world peace?

"World" has no particular range. People have their own world each other.
The world they are closely related to
The world they are indirectly related to
The world they are not related to
The world they don't know
I have no idea which one is inside of your world. If you think only about the material world, and if you think only about the capitalism world, you can make your world smaller.

"Peace" has no particular degree as well. People long for peace they think.
How much evil do you allow in your peace?
If you speak ill of your friend and other friends laugh at it so much, is that peace for you? We can't realize how much he/she is hearted by that.
If every war is over around the world, do you think that is world peace? We don't know how many victims we need to make each war over. Do we have to continue to accept the victims for our world peace?

I have the answer in my heart. My ideal world is that everybody feel happy to give other people something. It's obvious that receiving something make us happy. Most people haven't realized but giving something to other people make us happy in the same way.
First, I want to improve their way of thinking in the developed countries. I think most people living there can spend happy life by their own efforts, but there are many people who can't do it in the developing countries. I want to help them in the end. They are exploited by the developed countries. Our blessed life consists of their sacrifices. They are lacking clean water and sanitary food that we have enough. Additionally they need safety, medical care, education and hope.

I love this world. I want everybody to realize that this world is beautiful. I declare that I use my body to give everybody happiness and hope in my life.
This world consists of each parson's mind. Changing mind is changing this world. Every problem will be over as a result.

Thank you for reading my poor writing. I want to say my action is my word actually, but I know it's important to tell my story as a public person. I have a plan traveling around the world for 8 years. This is only second year. There are many places I haven't visited and people I haven't seen yet. I continue to do what I can do there.

Now the first day of new year is getting over, and the second day is coming. We are just swinging in the cosmic rhythm and floating on the rolling earth. Our life is equal to nothing in the universe, but we have a brain to think, a heart to feel and a body to act. That's why we have some meaning of living. We'll realize what the life is in the end.

Enjoy your days with love.
