死にがいを求めて生きているの

"Better to be one of a kind than number one"—a slogan we heard frequently during the Heisei era. In essence, this means we must find our own path to becoming number one, and that can sometimes be painful. Through its ensemble cast, this book highlights the difficulties of living. A sense of purpose—that is, the “realization that one is truly alive”—cannot be attained overnight. That is precisely why some people throw themselves into radical activities as a quick way to become someone special.
