人類はいつから、こんなにほっこりしたがるようになったのか
from ビジネス日本語講座
Why do we crave “hokkori”—that warm, cozy feeling—so much today? In this episode, I explore how the Japanese word “hokkori” reflects something deeper about modern life. From relaxing Vlogs and coffee breaks to quiet walks and small everyday pleasures, contemporary culture often transforms strong desires, ambition, anger, and competition into safer, gentler emotions. Drawing on Nietzsche’s idea of the “Last Man,” I ask whether our preference for comfort represents healthy resistance to an exhausting society—or something more troubling. Perhaps “hokkori” is not merely a cute expression, but a surprisingly accurate description of the kind of happiness modern people increasingly seek.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng●ビジネス日本語学習者向けブログビジネスのために日本語を学んでいる人のための情報を発信していますhttps://businessnihongo555.blogspot.com/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
