Many A-bomb survivors are unwilling to mention the fact of being bombed when their daughters become marriageable age. They try to avoid facing with the fact. I want ask them: "Why do you escape from it." What did you do something wrong. You did not nothing wrong, did you?. Although America dropped the A-bomb selfishly and treated you cruelly, "Why do you escape from it?"
Should you rise against, snap at and draw the intestines out of them? You had such terrible experiences. But they escape from the fact, think there is no help and give up. This kind of thinking does make me angry. This does not make progress at all. On the contrary, it makes a retreat. A retreat spoils this problem. We must go forward.
If we do not bring the fact into question and poke our nose into it rapidly, it is forgotten more and more. It ends a topic of the past (just a subject of conversation) after all. Finally, it become like fables. "Long time ago, there ware such happenings." It is a matter that never be settled with "Long time ago, there ware such and such." Since we also our children still alive, we have to make clear whether it is right or wrong (to clarify the fact).
