BGM: Cyndi Lauper - Change of Heart
It was a day off today, and I went to the hospital in my town because my left arm had hurt slightly. The doctor said that it wouldn't be a serious problem, and I decided to look at the coming change (it could be just a tiny muscle pain). In other words, I thought I should need a certain patience (but I also think it was good for me to meet him actually like this).
I went to the library, and borrowed two books. After that, I started reading one of them, "Man Disconnected" by Philip Zimbardo and co-writer Nikita Coulombe. The foreword says that we tend to get satisfied with various "virtual" communications, but we basically need "real" ones more. I remember the topic I had talked about with my friends. About loneliness. Although I had read this book once, it must tell me another great things again.
I had lunch, and took a nap. After that, I went to AEON and met a friend (an ex-staff of my group home). TBH she had been having a trouble about the usage of WhatsApp, and I checked it. Although it is difficult for you to understand this, in Japan WhatsApp is still not a popular app. When we try to communicate with smartphones, the app LINE has been hot for us. Therefore there is few people who knows what the WhatsApp is. She bought me a cup of coffee as a thanksgiving gift.
I attended a ZOOM meeting, and talked about the topic "loneliness" with my English teacher and learning friends. There were a lot of topics, and the host teacher asked me as one of them. "Do you think you are positive? Or negative?". I answered this. I basically am negative (even though, maybe because I quit alcohol, people say my attitude must be positive). I can't tell you any lies about this. But, I have been raised in Kansai area in Japan (the West area). Various Japanese comedy programs and shows might give me a certain sense of humor.
This evening, I attended the offline English class in my town. Oh my! I can't write anymore (it is too long).
