Cats all have their own territory. There are small and big territories depending on the cat, but whatever the size, there is only one cat in each.
With humans, there are any number of people jostling for space in the same territory. You might think they all get along ne together, but that’s all just show, and in reality, there is just one person controlling any given territory.
Like Kenji Miyazawa’s poem says: ‘all the talent and power and resources people may possess will not remain with them forever.’ ”
His eyes took on a faraway look, then he added, “ ‘People, too, will someday cease to be themselves...’ That’s how it goes.”
That sounded awfully heavy to me.
