“(Kana has been talking about her Uncles with her friends at school and her teacher, Mr. Yokoyama, has called her dad in because he’s concerned that it’s not an appropriate topic for school children and that she may be bullied for it in the future because “her situation at home is a bit unusual”) Yaichi: Yokoyama-san, are you concerned that she’s being raised by a single father? Yokoyama: Uhhh… Yaichi: I appreciate your concern, but it’s really unnecessary. You don’t need to be concerned about a single parent household. At least, no more so than for any other student. Yokoyama: No, I meant… Yaichi: Also, about Kana, if there is anything that makes her different, I… wouldn’t make her change on account of other people. As for the foreigner staying with us, he is my brother’s husband, and Kana’s Uncle. I see absolutely no reason to stop her from talking about her beloved uncle to her friends. If Kana is ever bullied for any of this, I would hope that, as her teacher, you would reprimand the bullies, and not the bullied child for being different.”

“Parents blame children for "bad" behavior but has nothing to do with the child but the actual parents. A child is not born having fits, being difficult and temperamental. They are sensitive energy "picking" beings and are teachers to parents to awaken them from their own shit. Look deeper into them and find yourself. A child is one of the hardest work on parents and the quicker you see the mirror the better interaction with yourself. The more real you get with your own reflection, the more you see your inner shit and flaws.”

“Ideas Surpass Gold (Sonnet 1530) Most of my boldest ideas are available online without paywall. Which means, you don't need to pay, to integrate my ideas into your life. Since I don't have an industry behind, it does help when you make a purchase. But I never ask no one to buy my books, I'd rather starve than monetize oneness. Soon this body will surpass corporeal chains, monetary demands of living will collapse a lie. I mustn't stain my sacred life craving coins, Ideas must surpass gold to surpass time.”
