...as if they were miracles.
They worship them.
They don't know it,
but they're losing nature.
They don't see that they're going to perish.
The most important things
...clean air and clean water...
...and the trees and grass
that produce them.
Everything is being dirtied...
...polluted forever.
Dirty air, dirty water...
...dirtying the hearts of men.
On my way here, I happened to see...
...some children putting flowers
Why?
Oh, that.
My father told me once.
Long ago...
...a sick traveller died by the bridge.
The villagers took pity
They placed a large
stone on his tomb...
...and put flowers on it.
It became a custom to put flowers there.
Not only the children.
All the villagers...
...put flowers there as they pass...
...though most don't know why.
Is there a celebration today?
No, a funeral.
You find this strange?
A nice, happy funeral.
It's good...
...to work hard...
...and live long and then be thanked.
We have no temple or priest here.
So all the villagers...
...carry the dead...
...to the cemetery on the hill.
We don't like it
when young adults or children die.
It's hard to celebrate such a loss.
But fortunately...
...the people of this village
lead a natural way of life.
So they pass on at a ripe old age.
The woman we're burying today...
...lived to be ninety-nine.
You must excuse me...
...but I'm going to join the procession.
To tell the truth...
...she was my first love.
But broke my heart...
...and left me for another.
By the way, how old are you?
Me?
One hundred-plus three.
A good age to stop living.
Some say life is hard.
That's just talk.
In fact, it's good
to be alive.
It's exciting.
