Worried about just who voted and who didn&#8217;t. Well, I&#8217;m sure everyone shares the sentiment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But don&#8217;t you feel that there&#8217;s loads of people who are saying they voted in this election? I do. I wonder if everyone realized that we need to do something in order to make the situation even just a tiny bit better? Or, rather, maybe they were thinking that we can&#8217;t let it get any worse than this, that we have to put an end to it? That sounds terribly gloomy though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I was saying how we should all go vote, but please realize that this world isn&#8217;t going to change for the better just like that. It won&#8217;t change in just a year or two. Even 10 years might not be enough. I might even still be saying the same things when I&#8217;m an old geezer. Healing something that was painful for many years is going to take even longer than the time it was actually hurt. The politicians &#8212; or us &#8212; might fail a number of times until then. But even then, all we can do is try to make things even a little bit less bad than they are now, make everything even a tiny bit better. It sounds stupid when I say it like this, but Japan <em>is<\/em> our country after all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We might not always know it, but surely there are politicians out there somewhere who are deserving of our votes. I just hope everyone finds out about them one way or another, and I hope for things to improve even a little. Those are my two cents of the evening.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I might seem pessimistic, but I&#8217;m really not. There are good things to come, too. Right, like for example the continued songwriting of 9mm&#8217;s new songs that are getting high praise. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ll be up to tomorrow! With that, I hope you all have a good day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u300cThe day before\u300d I feel worried. Worried about just who voted and who didn&#8217;t.
