光希まさとの徒然草「現代の徒然草 – 学びと批判への向き合い方」０４８

光希まさとの創造の世界へようこそ！

世に物事の価値を解せぬ者あり。古の言の葉に興なしとて、軽々しく言葉を吐く輩、まことに愚かなり。されど、その愚かさを指摘するも詮なきこと。彼らの心に響く言の葉なく、ただ風の如く過ぎ去るのみ。

学びて未だ浅き者、往々にして己の無知を顧みず、他人の心得を軽んずるもの。よろづ、物知れりとする人は、愚かなるなり。真の賢者は、己の知らざることの広大さを知り、謙虚に学ぶ心を持つべし。若き学生よ、汝の無知を恥じよ。古の言の葉に興なしとて、その価値を否定するは浅はかなり。然らずんば、一生を通じて愚かなる者として過ごすべし。

我が心に潤いを与えぬ言葉、我が魂を揺さぶらぬ作品、これらに心を傾くる必要なし。世に「金を積まば何でも為す」と言う者あれど、そは心なき者の戯言なり。心地よきものは好み、不快なるものは避くる。これぞ人の道にして、少しも奇異なることにあらず。

我が道を行くに、他人の眼差しを気にかくるは愚かなり。批判や誹謗は雲の如く、来ては去り、心に留めるに値せず。あだし野の露きえて、あしたの霜といずれの辺にかはと思ふに、閑かなるべし。己の信ずる所に従いて生くるは、最も尊き生き方なり。世の人々の言葉に惑わされず、己の心の声に耳を傾くるべし。

金銭にて心を動かさるる者、真の豊かさを知らず。心の満足こそ、この世に生くる喜びなり。我が作品を解する者と共に歩み、解せぬ者とは別れを告ぐ。これぞ、心の平安を保つ術なり。

ただ我が信ずる所に従いて進まん。これぞ、この世に生を受けし者の務めなり。花は盛りに、月は隈なきをのみ、見るものかは。真の美しさ、真の価値は、時に人知れず、世の評判に左右されることなし。我が心の内なる声に従い、静かに我が道を歩まん。

Modern Tsurezuregusa: On Learning and Facing Criticism

In this world, there are those who fail to grasp the value of things. Those who carelessly utter words, claiming no interest in the wisdom of the ancients, are truly foolish. Yet, pointing out their foolishness is futile. No words can reach their hearts; they pass by like the wind.

Those who have barely begun to learn often fail to recognize their own ignorance and disregard the wisdom of others. The one who claims to know everything is the true fool. The truly wise know the vastness of their own ignorance and maintain a humble heart eager to learn. O young student, be ashamed of your ignorance! To deny the value of ancient words simply because they do not interest you is shallow indeed. If you do not heed this, you shall spend your entire life as a fool.

Words that do not nourish my heart, works that do not stir my soul – there is no need to dwell on these. Some in this world say, “With money, anything can be done,” but these are merely the idle words of the heartless. To favor that which pleases the heart and avoid that which brings discomfort – this is the way of humanity, and there is nothing strange about it.

To be concerned with the gaze of others while walking one’s own path is foolish. Criticism and slander are like clouds; they come and go, not worthy of lingering in one’s heart. As the dew on Adashino vanishes, as the morning frost – in pondering where they have gone, one finds tranquility. To live according to one’s own beliefs is the most noble way of life. Do not be swayed by the words of others; listen to the voice of your own heart.

Those who are moved by money alone do not know true wealth. Satisfaction of the heart is the joy of living in this world. Walk together with those who understand your work, and bid farewell to those who do not. This is the art of maintaining peace of mind.

Let us proceed following only what we believe in. This is the duty of those born into this world. Must we only view flowers in full bloom and the moon when it is unblemished? True beauty and true value often go unnoticed, unswayed by the opinions of the world. Let us follow the inner voice of our hearts and quietly walk our own path.
