暴君「瞬間湯沸かし器と高級カニの話」

１週間もすれば新学期が始まる。高校生は夏休みの宿題を完了出来ていない。それで職場は彼らでいっぱいになる。家では勉強に集中できないからだ。注意を散漫にさせる誘惑がたくさんある。しかし塾に来ても集中できない生徒もいるのが現実だ。
In a week, the second semester would start, but various kinds of students haven’t finished their assignments yet, which might be imposed on them during the summer vacation because numerous teachers want to prevent them from avoiding doing their studies completely.
As a result, our workplace should be filled with such high school students because they fail to concentrate on their duties imposed by their vicious and malicious teachers.
At home, they are surrounded by something distracting, but only a few of them cannot focus on what they should do at the cram school, after all, such spoiled youngsters haven’t been equipped with something indispensable to survive on the complex and complicated globe, we know.

図書館は普段は受験生でいっぱいなのだが今日は利用者が少ない。それで思い出したのだが今日から新学期が始まっている。昨日は座席を確保するのが難しかった。だがこんなにも空席がたくさんあると寂しい。孤独感は人間の敵だ。特に暴君には。
There are usually numerous examinees in the library, but the number of users is small today, which reminds us that the new semester should have already started in almost all the schools in our neighborhoods, we assume.
Yesterday, it was challenging to find an empty room in the library, but we tend to feel lonely and solitude when a tremendously large number of empty spaces are in front of our eyes, which might bring us somewhere lethal.
Feeling lonely and solitude makes us someone useless, which essentially might be true of the “tyrant.”

組織から抜け出すと気持ちは楽になる。やる気にならないことを押し付けられないからだ。しかし寂しさもある。組織には仲良しさんもたくさんいるからだ。不愉快な者もたくさんいる。イライラしている暴君だ。自分の駄目さ加減に気づいてくれ。
When we leave the fixed organization, we could throw away something burdensome and troublesome because nobody could impose what we must do reluctantly on us.
Simultaneously, we feel lonely and solitude when nobody exists around us because there are numerous friendly colleagues in our organization, in fact, there are many coworkers with something irritating and disgusting.
Those who someone chicken called the “tyrant,” who should have been conscious of their own weaknesses, in other words, someone disadvantageous, an article says.
