Anime isn’t just an animated cartoon. It can be a source of encouragement and inspiration. Watching Anime can help you through the bad times. It can be the light of your candle which will show you the righteous path to choose.

Have you ever watched the anime Blood +? It’s about an ordinary schoolgirl, Saya, who embarks on a journey together with her allies, family and chevalier, Haji, to get rid of the chiropteran in the world and to rediscover her identity. If there’s ever a thing about that show that stuck to my mind it’s nankurunaisa which means everything is alright.

Life is a roller coaster. It is full of ups and downs. You will never know what will happen next. You just have to go with the trend and do your best to keep up with everything that is happening around you.

According to Epictetus, a greek stoic philosopher in Roman literature, “Only foolish people get upset by events they cannot control.” Life is unpredictable. You’ll never know the next thing that will happen to you. You might win the lottery or get hit by a car. Just remember to take life easy and with caution because you will never know what will happen next.

I know that life can be hard. There are so many impediments hindering us from reaching our goals. Sometimes we have fights with our best friend or a family member. Sometimes our loved one even leaves us unexpectedly engraving a painful mark in our hearts that will be hard to erase. Just remember this, nankurunaisa. There is no obstacle in life that we cannot overcome. There would always be happiness after sadness. Everything will be alright.
