Passages from 

The Tale of Genji (潤一郎訳源氏物語)

It was a long novel full of different love stories. I found it as a Japanese version of "One Thousand and One Nights", which is not my favorite kind of books. Even though I didn't finish the whole book, I still can say it was a nice and different experience. Here are some passages I loved:

"We vowed that we would go together down the road we all must go. You must not leave me behind."

She looked sadly up at him. "if I had suspected that it would be so--" She was gasping for breath. 

"I leave you, to go the road we all must go. The road I would choose, if only I could, is the other."

No, It was simple about Reading and learning, because it is the best way to change ourselves then our lives. 

  Yet, our people still don't see it a necessity to have clean water at home every day, clean toilet at work, clean streets ... In order to clean our environment we need to clean our minds (by reading and learning), then step by step we will get a clean society, a clean government, a clean country. 

  So, I guess cleanliness is somehow more important than money at this stage..... Just a ‪#‎Point_of_view‬
