Reader’s Question:
Do you think humans are frightening? When you find out that people like Nakai-san and the former director of the Hyogo Prefectural Bureau have a hidden side, it can change your impression of them, right? Is it a good thing for the truth to come out in weekly magazines, or is the side that exposes them to blame?
The
Hidden Faces of Humanity and Their Truths
Recently, I was having drinks with friends and we discussed how “humans can be scary.” Especially when you learn about people like Nakai-san and the former director of the Hyogo Prefectural Bureau, whose public and private personas are completely different, it makes you feel like your trust in people is shaken. It feels as if the world you believed in is crumbling away.
Exposés in Weekly Magazines and Ethics
Exposé articles in weekly magazines can certainly reveal truths, which has its merits. However, they also carry risks of invading people’s privacy. It’s not fair to outright blame the ones exposing the information, but I believe there should be caution in how that information is handled. For instance, when a celebrity’s hidden side is exposed, it can completely change their life. Considering this, I sometimes wonder if knowing the truth is really the right thing.
The Importance of Trust
It’s true that negative information circulates widely online. Recently, I came across a post on social media that said, “People believe in the goodness of human nature.” I felt it was important to remind myself that not everyone around me is bad. When I think of my friends, they are genuinely trustworthy individuals. Occasionally, when we gather and share silly stories, I feel a deep sense of comfort.
In Conclusion
I myself work part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office, and my colleagues there are truly reliable people. After work, when we go out for drinks together, I can enjoy our time without worrying about their hidden sides. It’s moments like these that teach me the importance of trust. What do you think, readers? I would love to hear your thoughts on the hidden sides of humanity or the significance of trust based on your experiences. By sharing, you might help me gain new insights as well.
