Indeed, our foundations are still fragile. There are many who fear for the future and are grieving. But how much sense does it make to stand still and dwell on that?　Let's just say that ...... there is not a piece of it. What happens when you just wait?　Who will give their hand to those who have given up?　I have only one point of view. If you want to survive, you must look up and move forward. Only those who struggle to the death can achieve greatness like these heroes."
