ラファさんが沢山ご登場ですね。私、入院生活を経て、しみじみ感じたことがあるんです。日本語ですと照れてしまいますので、拙い英文(決して他意はないです)で述べます。

I do think there is nothing that is mine,nothing that I have earned only by my own efforts.
Everything is borrowed.In Japan we have the word “being lived”.
How much I have taken from other people without thanking them,without even noticing what I was taking from them!
I lived much of life feeling that I earned what I got,that I was a “self-made man”. But I was wrong. I hope you don't make the same mistake.
