How on earth did I get interested in minority?

今年の計画書を書いている。去年の研究をレビューしたら、やはり、エスニックマイノリティーにつて興味がある。なぜかと考えると、気がついたら涙が溢れてしまう。When I was a child I remember how I felt alienated and discriminated by my sisters and brother, because unlike them, I have no memories of Japan. Tak seperti mereka, aku tak bisa berbagi keasyikan bercerita tentang masa-masa bahagia mereka di Jepang. Aku merasa kesepian, teralienasi dan tersingkir. それだから差別・マイノリティー、との一緒の人たちに興味深くなった。やっぱり、the dissertation and artwork that I am about to create is a vehicle to know about "Who Am I?", and the rest, of whatever I am to present and submit to the academic world is basically only an excuse, hanya alasan saja untuk memahami "Siapakah aku?"

On universality

"Those who strive to account for a man’s deeds are never more bewildered than when they try to knit them into one whole and to show them under one light, since they commonly contradict each other in so odd a fashion that it seems impossible that they should all come out of the same shop. They select one universal character, then, following that model, they classify and interpret all the actions of a great man; if they cannot twist them the way they want they accuse the man of insincerity." (Montaigne)
