67歳。「まだ負けていない」そう思いたかった私の末路

"I don't want to become a miserable old man with a monthly pension of 120,000 yen, waiting for discount stickers at the supermarket..." A former sales manager (67 years old), fleeing to an old house in Nagano out of vanity and pride, faced a cruel fate after moving to the countryside. This is a record of the true peace he found after losing everything. After 30 years of service, retirement, and a late-life divorce, he was confronted with a brutal reality. Fearing his former subordinates would see him in such a miserable state, the man clutched his remaining 2 million yen in savings and fled to an old house in Nagano for a "leisurely, slow life." He spent his days clinging to his past pride, accumulating "likes" on social media. However, what awaited him was a harsh winter of minus 8 degrees Celsius, frozen water pipes, and the merciless calculation of the cost of living. What was the "true meaning of life" that this man, cornered between appearances and reality, found after losing everything? As we age, we tend to count only what we lose: titles, income, physical strength, youth. But perhaps what we should truly let go of is the "self that continues to live in the eyes of others." For those of you currently worried about retirement funds and lifestyle, those feeling suffocated by past pride, and those searching for the true meaning of a "second life," I hope this video will offer some relief. This approximately 37-minute story is meant to be enjoyed slowly and with a warm drink in hand. 💬 To all viewers: Thank you for watching until the end.
