Notes

**********************************
(1) Remember what should be remembered, and forget what should be forgotten. Alter what is changeable, and accept what is mutable.思い出すべきことは思い出し、忘れるべきことは忘れる。変えられるものは変え、変えられるものは受け入れよ。
(2) Apart from tears, only time could wear everything away. While feeling is being processed by time, conflicts would be reconciled as time goes by, just like a cup of tea that is being continuously diluted. 涙以外は、すべてを洗い流すことができるのは時間であり、時間が経てば経つほど、お茶を薄めたように葛藤は薄れていく。
(Words from “The Catcher in the Rye”)
