Perfect

What is here now?

Dragons are "products of the human imagination." In this way, I believe there are many things that are recognized and shared by many people, even though they do not actually exist. Social conventions, rules, or personal ideas, which are invisible but make us aware of their existence, are perhaps similar to the state of a "dragon."

These things can protect us, but they can also become obstacles and challenges. The "dragon" that lives within each of us constantly challenges us, leading us to pursue the "right answer," "success," and "ideal happiness."

However, all you really have is "yourself at this moment."
The future does not yet exist, and the past is already gone. If that is the case, then perhaps "being in this present state" is perfect.

Being here, now, like this

Dragons are a product of human imagination. However, even though dragons do not exist, they are widely recognized and strongly believed in by many people. Social norms, rules, and personal beliefs—these invisible yet tangible entities, like dragons, make us aware of our existence.

They protect people, but at the same time, they can also be obstacles and trials. The “dragons” that exist within each of us drive us to pursue “the right answers,” “success,” and “ideal happiness,” constantly stirring our hearts.

However, what we truly possess is only “ourselves in this moment.” The future does not yet exist, and the past has already passed.

Perhaps simply “being ourselves in this moment” already demonstrates our own perfection.
