WHAT IS SCARY TO ME
By Kanreki Y.

Is it visible or not, real or virtual?
Sometimes I find myself enjoying a horror movie or screaming in a haunted house. Nowadays in the Halloween season, people dress-up as a goblin, a monster, or a ghost, and enjoy scaring other people.
Come to think of it, for me, the really scary things are invisible, and might happen unexpectedly and ruin my life.
"What are they?", you might ask.
Getting old, disease? Losing family members in an accident or natural disaster?
(I know we can’t always avoid acts of God.)
I can’t say what the most scary thing is to me.
The only thing I can say is that whatever it is, the thing that could take away my dearest things like family, friends or pets, is the scariest.
The thought that I might lose what I care about really scares me.
But at the same time, that reminds me of what is most important in my life.
Thank you, MIAMI class, for giving us such a chance to think about what is scary (important) to us!　　　　Happy Halloween!

Japanese Translation

私にとって何が怖いって？
目に見えるもの？　現実の？あるいは仮想の？
とは言え、ホラー映画やお化け屋敷で悲鳴をあげて結構楽しんでるし。
ハロウィーンには妖怪やお化けに仮装して怖がらせてる人達みかけるしね。
そんなふうに考えてみると私にとっての怖いものって目に見えないものであるけれど、予期せず私に起こりうるもので、日常生活を奪うものかしら。
それって何？
老いること？病気?事故や自然災害？
（自然の摂理にはあらがえないんだけど）
一番こわいものを特定はできないけれど一つ言えることは、それが何であれ、家族や友人を奪うものってことになるかしら。
大事にしているものを失うかも知れないと考えると本当に怖い。
でもね、それって何が一番大事なのかを考えることにもなりそう。
マイアミクラスのおかげで、そんなことを考える良い機会になりました。
ありがとう!　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Kanreki. Y

Teacher comments:
Very interesting, indeed! I have also thought that thinking about death also brings thoughts of life and of the things we often take for granted. Super job!
