At a drugstore, I compared the diaper shelves.
There were more adult diapers than baby diapers.
About 1.5 times as many, in the section I saw.
I had heard about this before.
But seeing it made me a little sad.
Fewer babies are being born in Japan.
And the population is aging.
What kind of future awaits younger generations?
Pensions and social security worry me.
But there is only so much I can do.
So, I’ll keep working a little longer.
I’ll help support society.
And use some of my earnings to enjoy traveling.
There are still so many places I want to visit.
One day, I’ll need support too.
But working isn’t the only way to help others.
At every stage of life, we can support one another in whatever way we can.
That’s what I found myself thinking in the diaper aisle.
