“もっと知りたい”


あの国のことなんでもいいからもっと知りたい

って思ってたはずなのに

気づいたら耳を塞いでる

歴史が面白いって思えるのは

随分と昔の出来事だけ

現代に近づくにつれて解像度が上がって

知りたいという気持ちも失せていく

そっか

知りたかったのは都合のいいことだけだったんだ


“I Want to Know More”

I used to think
I wanted to know everything
about that country.

Anything at all—
I just wanted to learn more.

But before I knew it,
I found myself covering my ears.

History feels interesting
only when it belongs
to the distant past.

The closer it gets to the present,
the clearer the picture becomes—
and the more my curiosity fades.

I see.

What I really wanted to know
were only the things
that were convenient for me.
