A Philosophy Cafe
I attended Sunday Mass. After the Mass, while I was walking along the road, a woman spoke to me. She told me that there was a social event at 2 pm and invited me to join if I was interested. I decided to attend. One of the participants explained that it was a kind of Socratic discussion. The discussion was conducted in Dutch, so I could not understand everything. However, the woman I had spoken with on the street, named Carolyn, tried to translate the topic on paper for me. The theme was “How to forgive?” The moderator allowed me to comment, so I said, “The answer is written in the Buddhist scriptures. It says that forgetting is the only way to forgiveness.” One of the participants laughed and said, “You already gave the answer. We still have to have a discussion.” The discussion lasted for two hours, and it was a valuable experience. I went to the bar Stiefel afterward. I felt that the drink prices had increased compared to before, so I tried to look for cheaper beer. I cooked discounted shredded seasoned pork with a lot of vegetables and added instant brown rice. It was more delicious than I had expected. I fell asleep just after 10 pm.

Thoughtful, personal, and cross-cultural.
