Back when I used to write, the most common thing I heard was...
You don't even know what "rapid progress" is and you're writing?
And...
I didn't expect rapid progress to be like that, I was disappointed... that's what it was.
Of course, if I had been hurt by such things, I would have closed my laptop long ago.
But I kept writing consistently.
The thing about not knowing "rapid progress"...
Was actually quite a playful comment and was somewhat funny in its own way.
As for "I didn't expect it to be like that, I was disappointed..."
How should I put it...
It somewhat contributed to understanding the public's... people's psychology(?)
And I think it gave me time to reflect as well.
The word "disappointed" is probably the opposite of "expected."
It's like this:
I expected you to write like this and like that, so why are you writing something different now?
Every day you just joke around pointlessly,
Then one day you write about politics... or religion...
Most discussions about politics or religion are sensitive issues, so people tend to avoid them,
But I just wrote what I thought.
Even just yesterday, the person who praised my writing and clicked like
Turns their back overnight because of one post.
Even if I write 100 posts they like,
If I write 1 post they don't like, they turn away.
They're disappointed... about my 1 post.
But that...
That person is the one who misunderstood.
It's not that they misunderstood 1 post,
Rather, after reading 100 posts, they misunderstood me as being like this.
When you move past misunderstanding, you encounter understanding.
But...
I've lived almost half a century,
But I myself don't even fully understand myself 100%.
Even my spouse of nearly 20 years
Doesn't know why my condition is down these days.
Even my mother who carried me for 10 months, gave birth to me, and lived with me in the same house for nearly 20 years
Probably can't fully 100% understand me.
Because I don't even know myself... it's like a pop song lyric.
How could others completely understand me?
I just roughly think it's probably like that.
Ah... I didn't see that person like that, they have no manners.
In this statement...
It includes an admission that they themselves misunderstood that person.
In my opinion, it's the fault of the person who misunderstood,
Not the fault of the rude person... that's what I think.
There's someone who does 99 things well but makes 1 mistake and gets hit in the back of the head.
There's also someone who does 99 things wrong but does 1 thing right and gets praised.
The former is the case where they're disappointed because of 1 thing,
The latter is the case where they think they misunderstood the 99 things because of 1 thing.
Both...
In my opinion,
The person who is judging is the one who misunderstood that person.
In fact, the word "understanding"... when you think about it, it's an incredibly difficult word.
I thought the opposite of misunderstanding is understanding,
But who can truly understand anyone?
I can't even understand myself...
Maybe the opposite of misunderstanding is empathy.
That's what I sometimes think.
Just empathize... and when you can't empathize, don't empathize.
But I hope we don't misunderstand.
When writing...
Or when living...
Today's writing is a bit complicated and subtle.
What's important is...
It's easy to misunderstand hearts and psychology, and understanding is difficult,
But it's easy to understand when someone has a handsome face.
