Recently, for having too much time and too little things to do, I've been stuffing myself with animes again. And one title that especially caught my attention was Natsume Yuujinchou, a magnificently well done feel-good-slice-of-life anime taking on the theme of Japanese supernatural phenomenon known as Ayakashi.
Several pictures depicting Ayakashi, Japanese traditional apparations
So, basically, this serie goes around everyday's life of a boy who has this special ability to see and even interact with these other-worldly beings, along with his ups and downs for it. Watching it for several days running, a thought just crossed my mind.
What if I can see Ayakashi as well? Wouldn't it be the coolest thing to do? I mean like.. man, I can see what you all can't!! BOOYAH!! It's like PWNing almost every single person in the world for not being able to see them!! HAHA!!
Putting all the excitement aside, another thought runs through my mind. If I was able to see these other-worldly being, how would it change my life? I might actually lose all the excitement of being scared the shit out by most of the horror movies running out there as it has already part of my everyday's life. I might actually has some of them as friends, who would hang around with me to pubs and clubs. Who knows they can even be the coolest being I've ever met.
But on second thought, I guess it can never happen. Constantly being a chicken-ass myself (yea, secretly, ghosts are actually one of my weaknesses. Now that you know it, SHUSH!!), I would probably shit and pee my pant at the same time even at the sight of their shadow. I won't be able to actually go and talk to them, let alone try to understand them. Even if they try to befriend me and follow me around, I would most probably run to the nearest library or temple and find a way or another to exorcise them out of my friggin life. I would never be able to put myself in their shoes, understand their loneliness for being the one who eternally wander this vast world aimlessly. Nor would I be able to sympathetize them for holding negative thoughts towards me, and human in general for constantly kicking them out of their place just because we claimed it as haunted............. On second thought, being ghost is tough =_="
Just a thought...
Fun Fact:
On hot summer days, just like this, in Japanese tradition, people would usually hang pictures of ghosts around their house just to give the chill down to their spine when they see them. It must be the creepiest air-cond ever invented by human
