Underground
今日、図書館で読んでいた本『アンダーグラウンド』(村上春樹）は、重かった・・・。1995年3月20日に起きた「地下鉄サリン事件」の被害者たちにインタビューしたというルポルタージュ。この頃、 自分も若かったし、会社を転職したばかりで、未熟だった。だから、この事件をマスコミが騒いだように、単に「悪」ととらえていただけだったことも確かで。でも、時間が経つにつれて、主観的に考えるように なったと思う。なぜなら、自分も成長し、色んな経験をして、落ち着いてものを考えることができるようになってきて、色々振り返る余裕が出てきた。言葉で上手く言えないけれど、この本を読むと、「そうだ、そうだ」とうなずいてしまう。ある意味、この企画は素晴らしいと思う。この事件から10年以上が経ち、過去のことに終わりそうなのだが、村上氏がこの本を出版したことで、活字として残るわけで、決して忘れてはならない事件なのだ。
Today, I read "Underground" (Harumi Murakami). It was quite serious, written about an incident happened to undergrounds (subways) in Tokyo in 1995. Many people became victims and were suffered from chemical. In the book, the author interviewed 60 victims. When the incident happened, I was still young and just like medias did, I regarded murderers as just evils. But as I got older, I changed my mind little by little. I appreciate Mr. Murakami because it must not to be swept this incident under the carpet as long as this book exists.
そして、思わず自分の1995年から今までを振り返り、突っ走った90年代の想い出にふけってしまった。
When I read this book, I can make sense about what the people said. And just I was looking back to my rushing 90s.
ふと、気付いたら、太陽が沈み、空はワイン色に染まっていた。 綺麗だったから、思わず、写真を撮りました。
Looking up the sky, I realised it was already sunset, twilight coloured in the sky. It was so beautiful and then, I took a picture.
