2022.7.9 Shinzo Abe, Japan’s Longest-Serving Prime Minister, Dies at 67
Mr. Abe was shot on Friday during a campaign event. Before he left office in 2020, he helped pull his country out of economic malaise but fell short of his most cherished goal: to normalize Japan’s military after decades of postwar pacifism.

Practically all of the poems in “The Continual Condition” are built on a foundation of malaise. An excerpt from “listening to the radio at 1:35 a.m.” captures this neatly:
somewhere else / there are nice homes
/ on the ocean shore / where you can / take your drink / out on the
veranda / and / stand at ease and / watch the waves / listen to the
waves / crashing in the dark / and yet / at the same time / you can feel
crappy there / too
“Some lose all mind and become soul,insane.
some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual.
some lose both and become accepted”
Charles Bukowski 1920-94
Henry Charles Bukowski (born as Heinrich Karl Bukowski) was a German-born American poet, novelist and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.It is marked by an emphasis on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women and the drudgery of work. Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels, eventually publishing over sixty books
Malaise (/məˈleɪz/ muh-laze) is a feeling of general discomfort or uneasiness, of being "out of sorts", often the first indication of an infection or other disease. The word has existed in the French language since at least the 12th century.
The term is also often used figuratively in other contexts; for example, "economic malaise" refers to an economy that is stagnant or in recession (compare depression). The term is particularly associated with the US 1973–75 recession.[1] A speech made by President Jimmy Carter in 1979 is commonly referred to as the "malaise" speech, although the term was not in the speech.
