Japanese Fairy tales: A MAN WHO DOESN'T WANT TO DIE.

From the book Japanese Fairy tales: A MAN WHO DOESN'T WANT TO DIE.


A man wanted to live longer and have no plan of dying at all. So he seek a mountain hermit to to find answers he then found the mountain hermit in Mount Fuji. And the hermit found out his selfish desire. He ask the hermit to give him the elixir of life or just live like the hermit. The hermit device a plan and sent the man in a place where people live longer in a paper crane business serving poison made dishes. At the first year of the man he was so happy to live in that place. Later on he established a business which later on failed. Because the people there grew tired living their lives. When the man miss his old life and wants to go back in his hometown and realized his desire. He took out the paper crane only to find out that it was still preserve after all the years. Moral of the story.... Why do some people are afraid to die... why do people die... I came into conclusion because God ordained people to live till 120 days of their lives only and Over population leads to suffocating tight space from the movie "what happened to Monday" and lastly living a longer life can be tiring LOLS so a good business would be "HOW TO KILL YOURSELF"
