Things he wants to tell.
The system is too well established in this era (at least in Japan). But it is important to remember that following the system is just a way among many options. Once you 'de-system' yourself, you will be able to see the world you currently depend upon, and that experience will make it easier for you to live freely.
You don’t necessarily have to stick to the environment you are currently in, if you find it difficult to live in. It is important to know that you can always look for another environment where you can live comfortably.
It is important to surrender to chance and go with the flow. Always leave some space for a coincidence or an accident to change your life. Travelling gives you a great opportunity to realize this.
Things don't always go as you wish. But it’s important to try and make a move. By thinking, struggling, and moving, a new world will surely open for you.
