Interview:Stone Ocean Paperback: Difference between revisions - JoJo's Bizarre Encyclopedia

Even if I don't usually care about something, when certain periods of time come around, I find it strange and get weirdly angry at it. Angry seasons exist within me, but these "angry seasons" are balanced by "seasons of being attacked."

Once, I shared the following story with my relatives: there was a traffic light on the street in my neighborhood, ~~and~~that itturned ~~turns "~~red" even when there ~~aren~~weren't any cars passing through. I used to just ignore it and cross the street if I didn't see any cars, but it always felt like a bad idea to me, so lately I've decided not to cross until the light turns green. And then, suddenly, a barrage of criticism began. "Who would even do that these days?" "Aren't you just such a good boy? Jackass."

These posts are largely unmoderated and face little-to-no censorship.</ref> you hypocrite?!" Oh no. It seems my "season of being attacked" has arrived.

It's one thing to be attacked for doing or saying the wrong thing, but I hadn't even done anything. I didn't even cross the street at a traffic light. Such is the "season of being attacked." We find ourselves under attack without knowing the reason why. When such a season comes, trying to fight back only leads to further aggression and pain. The only thing you can do is wait for the season to end, like how a person with hay fever has to wait for pollen to stop flying. This season is one where the best defense is ''not'' a good offense.
