サウナで整う、という言葉に感じる違和感
from ビジネス日本語講座
Why does simply feeling good no longer seem enough? In Japan, sauna culture often uses the word totonou, meaning to feel physically and mentally “reset” or balanced. But I sometimes feel uncomfortable with this idea. Modern life encourages us to give everything a purpose: reading becomes self-improvement, exercise becomes health management, meditation becomes productivity, and even relaxation must produce benefits. In this episode, I explore the value of simple pleasure, Oscar Wilde, modern self-management, and the possibility that discomfort should not always be eliminated. Perhaps true freedom means enjoying something without asking what purpose it serves.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------●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/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
