いじめの問題は本当に深刻だ。いじめや差別、疎外はいつの時代にも、どの世代にも、どの地域にもある。
しかしながら、いじめをしている側が自分達のしている事がいじめである事さえ気が付かないような雰囲気がこの社会に在りはしないか。
単一の価値観を社会を挙げて追い求め、その流れに乗らない（又は乗れない）者を「負け組」と切り捨てる風潮に、迎合しない個性の存在を尊ぶ余地は無い。
僕の少年時代、よく親に「家は家他所はよそ」と言われていた。そう自分は自分の道を行くべきだ其れを教えるのは学校じゃない家庭だ、けれど横並びの価値観を子供に刷り込んで、差別の上の優越を子供に教えているのは、他人の持ち物ばかりが気になる当の親じゃないかな。
Village people in Amazon sell their own hand made souvenirs for foreigners. Little bit of money exchanges help out their lives. They make wooden frames, ashtrays and necklaces. However, it is sad to say, they are not adequate enough even for kids at home. One American guy who was visiting the village with us mumbled, “This ring, is like a wooden screw,” as he tried on a bulky brown lump. Although I tried, I couldn’t move myself to buy anything. Rowing the boat on the way back to my lodge, I realized, they should be selling kid’s postcards. Instead of trying hard on handiworks, which seem they are getting nowhere with, Amazon kids should take a brush and just scribble some lines on cards. With that, I’m sure that visitors would be happy in paying some coins for the sweet memory in the jungle. I better mail Johan, my travel guide in the woods, before they lose hope.
