In my basement, I occasionally hear a young man singing. He might live in the room next to mine. His resonant scat echoes even in the middle of night, interrupting my sleep. It's not humming but closer to crying. Is he insane? Otherwise, am I hear auditory hallucination? It's not him but me who loses sanity.
Recently, stabbing incidents have been common. People tend to suppose culprits are insane or have frustration toward societyーunlike themselves. They often think such things are irrelevant to them; they will become neither criminals nor victims.
Tut mir leid, Ich denke nicht. I suspect my neighbour might have mental illness and that someday he would come into my basement and kill me. On the contrary,It might be me who loses sanity and commit something terrible. In this exhausted country, people are getting poorer and lonelier. We are exposed to countless stresses. It might be meーor youーwho becomes the next culprit. At least I feel so.
