This I believe (Hiroki S)

This I believe; the people around me
Hiroki Suzuki

I know that this is sudden, but I’m satisfied so much. I think the people around me have made me feel so. So I believe the people around me. Now, please let me explain why it turned out like this.

I am a university student now, but, until quite recently, I thought that I had few wants. I don’t have the strong desire for getting great grades in my university and even dreams. Though I want to read more books and to get good guitars such ds made by Gibson, such desires are not so strong that I will buy these by all means.
Of course, I don’t have the desires for fame and so on. Those made me think I was lacking in the desires for promotion, recognition, material, and so on that the people around me seem to have. Every desire is the roots of motivations. So I thought it was a problem for me to have little desire that makes me active.

So to speak, I desired for desires, but, one day, I noticed that I had little frustration too, when I saw my friends complain much. At the same time, an idea occured to me. The idea was that my desires had been satisfied already without my noticing it. Thinking desires over, desires are an emotion that every person can not help but has from birth. Then, I found wrong the way of thinking that I was lacking in such an emotion. This made me notice that it is no doubt that my desires are satisfied now. The people around me have been satisfying me without my noticing it.

Since I had the way to think, I came to want to return the favors to the people around me who had been giving favors. So, now, when somebody asks me for something, I make it a rule to live up to the expectation as much as I can.

For these reasons, I believe all the people around me that are satisfying me so much. I believe all the people around me including parents, friends, class mates, and teachers, are reliable people for me, and I believe that it makes me more satisfied that I continue to live up to the expectation of the people around me
