【最も印象に残った一行】
だが大多数の者はその一つをも自分のものにすることが出来ずに終わってします、それが自然なんだ、なぜなら総ての人間が自分好みに生きるとしたら、世の中は一日として成り立ってはゆかないだろう、人間は独りで生きているのではない、多くの者が寄集まって互いに支え合い援け合っているのだ。

Household budgets in Japan are being squeezed. A private survey shows price hikes affecting about 6,100 food and beverage items in the first half of this year.
The survey, conducted this month by research firm Teikoku Databank, shows that 54 companies raised or plan to raise prices from January to July.
That's more than half of the 105 businesses approached. Prices are going up by an average of 11 percent.
The processed foods category is most widely affected. About 2,900 items, including cup noodles, ham, and frozen products, are being marked up by 12 percent on average.
The spike in crude oil prices is raising packaging costs. That's compounding the impact of more expensive wheat and raw materials.
A poor harvest for rapeseed used in cooking oil is driving up prices for 1,300 dressings and other seasonings by an average of 9 percent. The crop is also in demand for biofuel.

西大寺静然上人、腰屈まり、眉白く、まことに徳たる有様にて、内裏へ参られたりけるを、西園寺の内大臣殿、「あな尊の気色や」とて、信仰の気色ありければ、資朝卿、これを見て、「年の寄りたるに候ふ」と申されけり。
後日に、尨犬のあさましく老いさらぼひて、毛剥げたるを曳かせて、「この気色尊く見えて候ふ」とて、内府へ参らせられたりけるとぞ。
【現代語訳】
西大寺の静然上人は腰が曲がり眉も真っ白だった。何とも尊いオーラを発散させながら宮中にやって来たので、西園寺実衡内大臣は、「何という尊さだ」と羨望の眼差しを向けた。これを見た日野資朝卿が、「ただ老人でヨボヨボなだけです」と言った。

◆鎌倉末期の随筆。吉田兼好著。上下2巻，244段からなる。1317年(文保1)から1331年(元弘1)の間に成立したか。その間，幾つかのまとまった段が少しずつ執筆され，それが編集されて現在見るような形態になったと考えられる。それらを通じて一貫した筋はなく，連歌的ともいうべき配列方法がとられている。形式は《枕草子》を模倣しているが，内容は，作者の見聞談，感想，実用知識，有職の心得など多彩であり，仏教の厭世思想を根底にもち，人生論的色彩を濃くしている。
