戦争から学ぶこと/Learning from war

毎日報道されているウクライナとロシアの戦争、心が痛みます。

うちの家族は子供の番組以外でテレビを付けることはほぼありません。大人がテレビを見れる時間がないからです。

でもこの前、報道番組をつけて子供と一緒に見ました。

都市が爆発していたり、家にミサイルが刺さっていたり、建物が崩壊したり、大きな銃を持った軍人や戦車、そしてお父さんと子供が泣きながら分かれる映像。

私の娘は怖いとかこの人泣いてるなー可哀想やなーと言っていました。

日本にいると大人でさえ現実味がありません。

ウクライナ人のインタビューや様子を取った映像もありました。

こんな時でさえ彼らの時たま見せる笑顔や少しでも今を楽しもうと考えていると言っていた市民の姿に考えさせられました。

どうか早く収束することを祈ります。

The war between Ukraine and Russia, which is reported daily, hurts my heart.

My family rarely turns on the TV except for children's shows. Because adults don't have time to watch TV.

But the other day, I turned on the tv and watched a news program with my kids.

I saw images of a city being destructed, a missile stuck in a house, a building collapsing, a soldier or tank with a big gun, and a dad and his child who were apart were crying.

My daughter said, these scenes from TV were scary, and she felt sorry for the dad and the child being apart.

There was also an interview with a Ukrainian and a video of the situation.

Not only kids thought it was unrealistic but also Japanese adults

Even at such times, I was made to think about the smiles that they sometimes show during this tough situation and the appearance of the citizens who said that they were thinking of enjoying the present even a little. I pray that it will converge soon.
