新しん年ねん度どが始はじまった。進しん級きゅうや進しん学がく、転てん勤きんやそれに伴ともなう転てん居きょなど変へん化かの多おおい季き節せつだ。新あたらしい学校がっこうに進しん学がくしたり職しょく場ばを変かわったりして新あたらしい環かん境きょうに入はいっていく人ひとも多おおいだろう。（中ちゅう略りゃく）

新あたらしい環かん境きょうでは緊きん張ちょうや不ふ安あんを感かんじるものだ。（注1）人ひと見み知しりが強つよい性せい格かくだと、こうした変へん化かが苦にが手てだ。私わたしもその一ひと人りだが、どんな場ば所しょでもいつも通とおり元げん気きに自じ分ぶんの力ちからを発揮はっきする人ひとを見みると、うらやましくも思おもえる。こちらは少しょう々しょうなことで気き持もちが揺ゆれ動うごいているように思おもえ、いつでも平へい常じょう心しんで行こう動どうできればと考かんがえる。

しかし新あたらしい環かん境きょうで不ふ安あんを感かんじないというのは、必かならずしも良よいことではない。慣なれない環かん境きょうで、何どの不ふ安あんも感かんじずにこれまでと同おなじような行こう動どうをしていたのでは、思おもいがけない失しっ敗ぱいをする可か能のう性せいがある。これまでの経けい験けんからは（注2）想そう定ていできないことが起おきるかもしれない。人じん生せい、何なにがあるかわからないのだ。

慣なれない場ば所しょでは、むしろ良よくないことが起おきる可か能のう性せいを考かんがえて慎しん重ちょうに行こう動どうした方ほうが安あん全ぜんだ。私わたしたちは不ふ安あんを感かんじるからこそ、良よくない事じ態たいに備そなえて準じゅん備びしようと考かんがえる。緊きん張ちょうするからこそ、集しゅう中ちゅうして、しかも慎しん重ちょうに問もん題だいに対たい応おうできる。実際じっさいに良よくないことが起おきたときの対たい応おう法ほうも（注3）シミュレーションできる。

不ふ安あんや緊きん張ちょうは自じ分ぶんを守まもる（注4）安あん全ぜん弁べんの働はたらきをしている。不ふ安あんや緊きん張ちょうを感かんじたときは、そのような気き持もちを感かんじられる自じ分ぶんのこころの力ちからを信しんじて、あれこれ考かんがえすぎずに今こん自じ分ぶんにできることに集しゅう中ちゅうするようにしてほしい。
