Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

風が吹けば堅い木ほど簡単に折れる。だが、竹や柳は曲がることで生き残るということに注目せよ。

今夜の寝酒のBGMは、Stevie Nicksの『Nightbird』。

"And the one who survives, sings her song" (そして生き残った者は、彼女の歌を歌う)

中学生の頃背伸びして聴いていた曲だけど、大人になって改めて歌詞を噛み締めると、また違った響きがある。 辛いことがあっても、生き残って歌い続ける(=自分の道を生きる)強さ。深夜に聴くと沁みるぜ•••

Tipping is often defended as part of cultural tradition, particularly in North America. However, on closer inspection, tipping is not a genuine cultural practice but merely an economic arrangement that has been mischaracterised as such.

Historically, tipping emerged from a hierarchical society in which nobles would offer small amounts of money to their servants as an act of patronage. Far from being a celebration of culture, it was an expression of inequality and dependence. Its continuation in modern societies is therefore not a matter of heritage, but rather an outdated economic trick.

In contemporary practice, tipping complicates transactions and obscures the real cost of services. What appears to be a voluntary act of generosity is in fact a mechanism through which businesses shift responsibility for fair wages onto the customer. This undermines both service quality and economic transparency. Service staff are incentivised not to provide consistently high standards, but to focus selectively on customers who seem likely to offer higher tips. Employers, meanwhile, reduce their tax burden by keeping base wages artificially low and treating gratuities as external supplements. The result is a system in which workers are underpaid, customers are misled, and public revenue is diminished.

A more rational and equitable solution is to abolish tipping as a formal expectation. Instead, service charges should either be included in the price of food and drink or collected uniformly as a service fee. This approach ensures clarity, fairness, and accountability: customers know the true cost, workers receive stable pay, and the state can tax wages transparently.

In conclusion, tipping should not be mistaken for culture. It is a relic of feudal patronage that survives today only as a means of concealing costs and transferring responsibility. Modern societies should recognise it for what it is: a flawed economic practice, and one best replaced by a fairer and more transparent system.
