I had an argument with Yoshi AGAIN...
We were supposed to go to my mom's tomb because the Obon holiday is coming. But he tried to cancel the plan at the last minute. Who would forgive the disrespectfulness to one's mother?
... My mom passed away when I was 13, by the way. I had assumed that Yoshi wouldn't come at first. He seems not to like getting on with my family closely, and I have heard him say he doesn't appreciate those kind of Buddhist custom. However, a couple of days ago, he showed some interest in visiting my mom. When I came back from the tomb to clean up, he said "Ah, I should have come with you to see your mom.. " I was glad to hear the words from him. So I said " Why don't you come with me on 13th? I will go again pick her up."
Since when the conversation above took place, I mentioned visiting my mom several times. Yoshi seemed OK with the idea. BUT... when I mentioned it again this evening, Yoshi said "What? What plan? I never said I am going! I have another plan!! " I was like, "What?!"
Sometimes, .. I could say often, I get confused.
Whenever I argue with Yoshi, every commonsense I ever believed becomes blurry.
Isn't it the most priority to visit his mother-in-law's grave when he is supposed to? Isn't it just commonsense? I mean, if you are Japanese, a person from the nation which Buddhism is respected.
At first, I found him total lack in commonsense but ... his excuses sounded very confident. I came to be convinced that following the buddhist custom is old-fashion and nonsense.
But it is my mom... I think she is entitled to his reverence to some extent ...
After all, he came with me and visit the grave. ... hmmm, he looked quite satisfied. That's good. I wondered why he complaint anyway if he is so satisfied after that. I guess he is a chronic complainer. According to him, it is not complain but just a part of conversation.. but I know he is.
It is OK when I am in good mood. I can get it though my ears but... I can't take it all the time, you know. I am sick of it... sigh...
