Yoshida Kenko came from a very well known family. His father was a high ranking millitary officer in Japan. He still wants to become a budhist priest and live his life according to budha. I am discussing his story “From Essays in Idleness”. It shows us how he lived his life as a budhist monk. In his story the main idea was respect the emperor and the religious priest. We should enjoy our life and live to the fullest and our death which makes us a human. He also says love and sex are very powerful that’s how human being communicates with each other and express their feelings which are supported Buddhist law. He also prefers to live life as simple as possible to be simple, simplicity is the way to be, and we should always avoid modernizing ourselfves. As because of modernizing our true self will lead to loose our soul. We should always admire the things that are beautiful, as because creator took time to create it for our amusement that’s why we should always appreciate the beauty. Kenko also emphasis the thinking’s before what we do. We should not do something in anger or jealousy, we should always think of consequences on what the outcome will be. He also compared human personality with a house. Human personality is like a house; a personality is someones idenity, a person with a good peronality can outcome anything. He also mentions us not to be greed. As because a greedy person is intoxicated in wealth of the world he is always fear of that, But who is pure of hearts always knows death is inveitable and does not fear death.

“From Essays in Idleness” is full of motivational life quotes that would get a lot of retweets on a slow day. The portion of the text that got the most of my attention was when he compares the human personality to a house . He says that we are suppose to feel comfortable and cherish our internal home. A lot of basic life notions like respect, greed, gratitude and greed are brought up by Kenko. Good points were mentioned during the discussion session which helped me think deeper about the meaning of the message Kenko wanted to convey and important life lessons that I probably knew before but had to be reminded of.
