Finally Seeing Myself: the Awakening and Future of Feminism

Everyone has their own attitude towards life and death. I hope I can live a happier life and not care about the indifferent words of relatives or strangers, and then live a good and healthy life until the day I die.

Some discussions were held about the life and death of the elderly, care, disposal of relics, daily life, and various trivial but unignorable matters. After reading it, I feel that death is not so terrible, just face it calmly. My precious books will be donated to Hope Primary School from now on, so no one at home can appreciate them.

Although the two people who talk to each other in the book are quite old (Keiko Higuchi is 88 years old and Chizuru Ueno is 72 years old), they still have great enthusiasm and attachment to life, which is really admirable. My own sense of meaning and mission in life is insufficient, and my emotions have been exhausted, so I am not afraid of death.

This book is not a particularly serious style, but we can reflect on our own environment from the chat content of the two ladies. For example, I think the thinking about death in the last chapter is very meaningful, such as home care, choosing whether to accept treatment that is only to prolong life, etc. If you think about it yourself, you will think about what you will do if you face this situation in old age. After you get the answer in your heart, your anxiety about death may be slightly relieved. Looking at things from one's own perspective is "my own position".

It's not long, and it's all in the form of dialogues, making it easy to read. It's definitely not possible to pursue "guiding meaning" or "how people should live", but it's fine to see what they think, what they've experienced, and what the other side of life is like. Five stars for the content + ease of reading, which is better than the cost-effectiveness.

This book made me understand the various dilemmas and challenges that women face in society. I loved the dialogue between Chizuru Ueno and Keiko Higuchi, their perspectives were profound and enlightening. Some of the characters and stories in the book resonated with me, and I gained a lot of thoughts about self-awareness and growth. This is a book worth recommending to everyone.

A very popular Japanese female writer. It feels like she has an independent mind of her own. Yeah, overall I feel good. I'll pick it up and watch it.

Reluctant to leave this prosperous world

Cause some resonance

Learn to enjoy the present, don't dwell on the past, don't worry about the future, the present is the best, and be a positive person.

Tolerance, care and gratitude are the glue that promotes relationships!

Can people freely choose to die?

It's very approachable, so you can think more of yourself when watching it. Generally speaking, Ueno's comments sometimes are too self-centered and condescending.
