If I look back my past years, one of the most striking aspects is that
I've always lacked the sense of reality in dayly kife. I also lack
common sense even at my present age. In other words, I've been living
in this society as if I were a foreigner. It sometimes gave me a hard time
but it was, after all, my own choice and I do not regret it at all.
If I had chosen the other way round, oh I cannot imagine how many
important and precious things I could have lost!
