On Not Fitting In
Many people feel they don't fit in the culture they're born into, or currently live in. They feel like outsiders, always looking in, but never a part of the group.
The Japanese are very conscious of their group and their place within it.
To all of which I can only reply:
"Do not worry about fit or not fit,
 Do your best to do the right thing,
 Towards kami, towards people, towards nature,
 Which in the end are all parts of a whole,
 Always strive and fit will follow."
