This world is a cruel playground.
You either win the race or hit the dust, suffocate, and die.
Nobody gives a pat on the back of a defeated man, saying it’s okay to fail.
Here, failure comes with deep shame. Shame, guilt, disappointment, and pain. Very few people can get over it, while others give in and continue to live miserably. Many even say goodbye to the world, failing to bear the unbearable pressure. They just cannot find any ways or reasons to resume their journey of life.
But in Japan, there lies a third kind of people who know a way to escape the shame most people fail to overcome.
No, they don’t hang themselves from the ceiling or put their heads under a high-speed train. Instead, they just pack their bags and vanish into the thin air, leaving everything behind.
