Para-lympic Game

Honestly…really, honestly speaking, this is he first time I see the so-called “Paralyminpic.”

After thought, this name, “Para” doesn’t dund good or doesn’t sound fair. There are many words with this prefix of “para.” For example, “paramedic, paragraph, ”

“para” means “ 「側、以外、不正、不規則、落下傘兵」・医学では、擬似、副」. Obviously, this word has a sort of discreming connotation. This doesn’t go well for our latest day of humanism. Our wold changes for new value and ideal. For our case in Japan, the word of “Buraku”, 部落, was eliminated for the reason of unfairness of humanism.

So what do I propose about potential new wording? I honestly don’t know. But, probably, what I can think of is for example, “parallel world athletc game.” Thismeans, “並行的に行われる世界スポーツゲーム”. This word does not have the meaning of ranking and no discriminating connotation.

Well, what do you, my reader think about this? Any batter ideas?

So, the opening celemoney of the “Pralympic Game” was just greatest! It was just well designed and programed and carried out. It was a piece of “art.” All of the participants are so great and did very well. I really felt very proud of those people who put therir mind and spirit in producing the stage of the world game. Obviously, as I see, there are a lot of very advanced techonoligy, both IT brain and hand-craft and carpentry, yes, “職人と大工”.

It is simply “amazing and fantastic!”

After I seen this, I feel I can go see my best friend, Enma. Ha, ha, haですね。
