What Are You Engrossed in Your Daily Life?
Do you guys happen to have any hobbies? Some people love listening to music, singing a song or playing a musical instrument. Others are into a bike ride, drive or muscle training. There are a lot of people who really like cheering TV stars or their local sports team. While we are working on what we are hooked on, we usually relieve our stress and frustration. However, nowadays, I think that Japanese people, particularly young people cannot find what they like or what they want to do in the future.
General Japanese Situation in the Present Age
Most of the Japanese people tend to be busy making ends meet in their daily life. For example, many people who have their child have to carry out their housework and child raising. On top of that, they need to work for a very long time for their life. It is extremely hard for people like them to have their free time to work on what they are hooked on. Compared to them, young people are likely to feel impotent or lethargic because they are anxious about their money, future, and human relations. From my point of view, one of the causes of this kind of situation is this current society.
There are still a variety of companies which regard a natural situation and virtue as working overtime. Some workers think that, if their boss invites the workers to something after they finished their work and leave their workplace, they have to deal with their boss as a duty . According to circumstances, some of them take business home. It is said that Japan has a labor shortage and Japan’s working-age population is decreasing, but it seems tough for middle-aged persons to change or get a reasonable job. Even those who are young cannot find and get a job as planned. With the exception of the rich or celebrity, a large number of people including thrifty homemakers have trouble in keeping their money, managing to make end meets. When the time comes to actually have their free time or holidays, however, it seems that some of them cannot see what they want to do due to their busy days. On the contrary, people who are really stressed or feel a deep jealousy for someone are apt to abuse or speak ill of others on SNS in anonymous system. In Japan, a post that slanders other people is regarded as one of the big problems.
How We Can Find Hobbies That Help Us Feel Better
I would say that hobbies must be wholesome and healthy. There is no worries for persons who already have their own hobbies or things to do in their free time. I think that it seems very nice to be engrossed in what to do, such as housework as fun. In fact, I usually do housework on my holiday because I have to go to my workplace on weekdays and cannot keep enough time well. I wonder whether doing housework on holidays is better than doing nothing or leaving what to do.
Hobbies should NOT damage or have a bad influence on something or someone. This year, 2020, almost all of the people in the world feel confused by the COVID-19 problem. Because of the COVID-19 problem, it became easier for us to feel stressed and frustrated than before. The regrettable situation should have resulted in the type of person who is deprived of personal and individual meaning and the person’s identity. Those who are like the person might be compelled to do a stupid thing like delinquency or immorality in order to find out whether they are real in this society.
Additionally, some people cannot do their favorite things they could do before the problem. For instance, in the case of a person who likes trying meals at several different restaurants with friends, since it is required to refrain from going outside thoughtlessly, it would be too hard to do the thing the person likes. However, in spite of the hard situation, there might be a time people can find a new favorite thing or consider themselves because the situation brings them a long time to stay home.
If you do not know what they like or what they want to do in the future, I recommend that you remember what you were into in your childhood. I guess that there has been some hints in it for your wonderful future. In my case, I would be into writing something, recording my voice and acting just like a radio DJ when I was a child. I feel that it has been interesting for me to learn English and sing a song since my childhood.
The Summary
Again, I believe that hobbies must be wholesome and healthy. If they are not so, those ones apply to just bad habits. Bad habits can make us feel frustrated and bother us. In the present age which proceeds at the speed of light, we might need to find and create their own job. Besides, we might also need to find and have their own hobbies which help us feel better to survive this stressful society.
If you had no hobbies or really felt frustrated, it would be better for you to sleep with music. I would like to introduce one of the YouTube pages which plays music for a good sleep.
