D2-ev2-Living together;共に生きる

 There are many times when we feel that it is difficult to keep relationships respecting each other when there are many differences in ethnic group, languages, culture, habits, and preferences. Moreover, there are people suffering from harassments and domestic violence because it is difficult to respect each other even in the same group such as a company, school, or family. Some people may get hurt, give up the will to live, and suffer from mental disorders. 

When they are losing hope, we pray for someone, be around them, and give them courage to continue living. We hope we will be that someone for these people.
　肌や瞳の色，言葉，文化，慣習，嗜好，様々な違いがある中で，互いを尊重した関係性を保つことは難しいと感じることは沢山あります。そればかりか，同じ会社，学校，家庭の中でも，お互いを認め合うことができず，パワハラ，いじめ，DVに悩む人たちがいます。時には，あまりに理不尽なことにひどく傷つき，生きることを諦める人，心を病んでしまう人も。傷つき心折れそうな時，誰か一人でも寄り添う人がいて，また生きる勇気を得ることができますように。私たちが，その一人でありますように
