@goldberg,
I'd like to talk about something that has nothing to do with politics. You know I just heard that a Japanese actor named Miura Haruma has committed suicide, according to NHK News, which claims "he was found hanging by the neck in his home in Minato Ward."
Miura Haruma, who's a good-looking guy at the age of 30, once played the role of a high-school student in the Japanese movie, "Koizora," which features calf love between a boy -played by Miura Haruma and a girl-played by Aragaki Yui. And the movie has a lachrymal scene in which the boy and the girl talk about afterlife.
The Boy: Where are we going after we die?
The girl. We will meet in paradise.
The boy: I want to be the sky after I die. So, I will be able to see your face no matter where you go.
The Girl: Cool. Then what I have to do is look up the sky when I miss you; you are in good mood when I see sunshine streaking through the clouds; you are crying when I find raindrops falling down; it becomes sunset when you blush; and it becomes night sky when my body is bathed in darkness as if you were holding me in your arms.
Speaking to the press, a friend of Miura Haruma argued that Miura Haruma had been bullied by the online mob in Japan.
"They keep leaning on you for thinking differently. They keep coercing you not to do something that they abhor. They leave you alone in self-denial as they beat the drum for the idols whom they admire. Tossing out invective is just simple as tying shoelaces online," he writes on Japanese social media.
Where is Miura Haruma going? I don't know. Could be a beautiful world suffused with quietness with undulating hills, dotted with assorted flowers? A place where you find deer scampering around and birds chortling in the trees, with flying angels singing songs, as described by Disney in traditional Disney movies?
I don't know.
The weather report says it's going to rain.
