They say the world will end tomorrow
so why would someone say they will plant an apple tree?
But if the world does not end tomorrow
and the tree I planted lives for ten thousand years
does that have meaning?
Even the universe will come to an end someday
There is no meaning
Watching a video of an elderly woman in her 80s in Japan baking and selling bread herself, I had that thought
“She should just rest comfortably at home…”
If I had seen it when I was younger, I might have felt sorry for her
“I want to become like that too”
But now, I feel envious
Living an active and healthy life even at an old age
For her, the bakery may not just be a means to earn money,
but rather the day spent baking and selling bread itself
might be the meaning
She will probably keep opening her bakery
even if the news says “the world will end tomorrow”
