It is believed that us, the Japanese people, are "hardworking". (私たち日本人は度々「働き物」だと思われています).
While this is true to some extent, Japanese people are also lazy. (実際そうだと思いますが、裏を返せば「怠け物」という事でもあります。)
I think the reason why we are always developing and creating new things without sparing enough time for sleeping is because of our desire to create a comfortable, convenient and pleasant life. (なぜかというと、私たち日本人は寝るまも惜しんで仕事をして常に新しい物を開発したり作っているのは自分たちの生活をより楽に、より便利に、より快適にしたいという思いがとても強いからだと思います。)
To be honest...I don't need a comfortable life anymore... (正直、これ以上に便利になる必要はないと思うくらい日常生活は快適になっています。)
To put it simply, "Seeking Laziness, Get Diligence" (簡単に言えば、”怠惰を求めて勤勉に行き着く” )
Japanese Language in particular is a relevant example for this. (特に日本の言語がそれにあたると思います。)
Japanese got Kanji from Chinese a long time ago. (日本人は大昔に中国から漢字を学なびました。) However Japanese felt that it is too much hassle to write all characters in KANJI and thus, they created "HIRAGANA". (しかし怠け者の日本人は全てを漢字で書くことは面倒うだと感じ、より簡単にかける「ひらがな」を作り出しました。)
Similarly, when Japanese are learning English, they created "KATAKANA". (同様に英語を学ぶと「カタカナ」を作り出しました。)
They selected easy to write and read character. In addition to that, they also used multiple characters. (さらには、日本語の方が書きやすい、読みやすい方を選択して、そして複数の文字を使った)
Furthermore, they also coined words by mixing multiple characters. (それだけでなく、彼らは複数言語を混ぜて造語も作った。)
As a result, the language which is supposed to be convenient has become more complex. (結果的に楽をするための言語が複雑になってしまいました。)
Japanese language remains everchanging up until now. (日本語は今もなお変化しています。)
Therefore, I think people who are learning Japanese often get confused, but once you are able to understand it, it is a very interesting language. (日本語を学んでいる人は混乱する事も多いと思いますが、突き詰めて行くと非常に面白い言語だと思います。)
I'm glad if you do enjoy learning Japanese. (楽しみがなら学んでもらえたら嬉しいです)
