THis story is based on a part of the true story of Hiroshi Jin, who did inspections of hospitals at Christmas 2010.
Kenji Kawarasaki hit on an idea, Hiro’s tale was not told to Hiro in an exercise stage. Hiro himself who is looking at the hallucination, is the hallucination.
It hits on an idea from the truth of Buddhism said "All are nothing."

Hiroshi Jin's performance
@@@@- transcending gender with individualism and creativity
@Siddhartha Gotama was born into a royal family in Lumbini, now located in Nepal, in 563 BC. At 29, he realised that wealth and luxury did not guarantee happiness, so he explored the different teachings religions and philosophies of the day, to find the key to human happiness.
@After six years of study and meditation he finally found 'the middle path' and was enlightened.
@After enlightenment, the Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the principles of Buddhism — called the Dhamma, or Truth — until his death at the age of 80.

BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY
Who was I?Where do I come from? Who am I? Why am I here? Where do I go after death? What will I be?
What is the purpose of life?
In Buddhism, the primary purpose of life is to end suffering. The Buddha taught that humans suffer because we continually strive after things that do not give lasting happiness. We desperately try to hold on to things - friends, health, material things - that do not last, and this causes sorrow.
The Buddha did not deny that there are things in life that give joy, but pointed out that none of them last and our attachment to them only causes more suffering. His teachings were focused entirely on this problem and its solution.
This is done by recognizing the impermanence of all things and freeing oneself from attachment to these things.
This will lessen suffering and eventually end the cycle of rebirth.
@Whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind.
Therefore, if we want to be free from problems we must learn to control our mind.
