to prescribe us the medicine a few years ago, and the package of the
medicine was not delivered to my house this month. “Because I did not take
the medicine for this month, the e cacy of the drug ran out today…” Even
though I could find out the reason, I still felt gloomy. If I restarted taking the
medicine again, I could go back to that happy life. But I know it isn't right. In
that life of only feeling happiness, I couldn't find what was wrong and I was
actually living in an unhealthy condition. I stood beside the window and
looked down at the world outside. Everyone looked happy, but also they
looked like they did not have faith in their lives. Then I realised this world is not
right, and decided to go to the government to make them stop this policy.
Through the long journey, I got to the building of the United Nation.
Everyone inside the building also seemed to take that medicine and nobody
doubted me as an intruder and therefore, it was very easy to get to the
president’s o ce. In the o ce, the head, Harry Brown was sitting down on the

to stop this policy, I mean...please, sir, please stop prescribing people this
drug! This is not right, people now cannot see how their life is and they do not
realise how wrong their condition is! They do not have faith in their lives, and...
” “and what?” The low-toned voice interrupted my talk mercilessly. “Even if they
are in bad condition, they are feeling happy, right? If they are feeling okay, it
means they are okay, young man. In the first place, negative feelings are not
necessary. They just make you look miserable. Nothing worth having negative
feelings… Don't you get it? '' At the last part of his speech, I could see the
sadness in him. He continued, “...I used to have a family, a lovely daughter, and
a beautiful wife. Everything was perfect until that happened… When we were
walking around the neighborhood, the stranger who lost his job and became
insane attacked my daughter and wife. I called the ambulance, but they
passed away. In the court, I was full of anger toward the man. But while he was
speaking, I could see that he was a normal, ordinary guy. The negative
feelings turned him into a monster. Then I realised those negative feelings,
anger, sadness, and frustration make people insane and this world’s peace
