I worked early today. This morning, during my working time, I met some foreigners trying to tell their will in Japanese. Of course, I need to write who they are blurry, but in that case, I couldn't find out if I should keep speaking to them in Japanese as easily or clearly as possible. Even though this world has been becoming globalized actually, I shouldn't use English so carelessly/recklessly to foreigners.

At lunchtime, I even asked myself if I should ask my friends, especially some foreign friends (the teachers in the English classes and some friends on Discord, etc) about this. However, something in my mind didn't allow it because it would work/affect so rude or simply nonsense if I did to my friends so easily/carelessly (these teachers are from America, and the foreigners were maybe from East Asia).

Thinking about this issue (but don't worry too much, because it seemed I had not made any serious "failure" at my workplace), I started worrying about this. Had I been a kind of "language snob" who could believe too naively/innocently that English rules this world? Or I had forgotten an important truth that to learn English means not to satisfy my growth of this mind but to satisfy other people in this world actually/certainly?

Anyway, it must have been a good lesson for me... At the rest of lunchtime, suddenly I got another idea which was about the concept of discrimination. Maybe I had started thinking about this because I imagined these foreigners again, who must have had various trouble using Japanse. Of course, this kind of imagining must be "forbidden" because it means my mind has been washed by a cursive bias.

As this topic's conclusion, I must have more opportunities to encounter/meet various foreigners in this city to learn how they can have in their minds their precious honest truths/opinions. Of course, in this country there must never be any guy who can be a candidate for "foreigners", but there can be plenty of foreigners. That is the meaning of diversity in this world... How do you feel about reading this? Now I'm worrying...
