BGM: yeule - Eva (George Clanton Remix)
Since the 1990s when I was a college student, my life has been always literally "connected" to the internet. Oh, through this connection, I have learned numerous things... Thinking about this, I have to feel a certain thanksgiving toward this marvelous invention. But recently I started thinking about "disconnecting" or "separating" myself from this net, even though I can never throw this smartphone away forever... Although it can end as a temporary experiment, I might have to visit the mountain to enjoy nature again to take a distance from this "buzzing" world. During working time, I have thought about this.
Why do I start thinking about this? Probably because I borrowed the book "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau, who once had tried to live his life in the forest alone himself. When I was a college student who studied American literature, I enjoyed reading this book and got a strong impression of Thoreau's pretty sensitive style. But it was about 30 years ago therefore I need to read it again.
Reflecting on this literally "cyber" life... I find that my mind has almost been tortured by plenty of pieces of "junk" information, almost all of which aren't related to my actual life. I have to try to build this life's ground level (a basis) firmly to live pleasantly, and then I can have a splendid dream for my future I guess. Now, I look at this myself as a dust-like tiny person who is easily moved (even "washed") by the brutal influence of the information the internet keeps on affording.
But as I have written above, I can't throw away all devices I have to live a brand new life as Thoreau had tried in "Walden"... After working time, even though I had wanted to enjoy reading or watching a piece of Netflix stuff, my mind must have already gotten so tired that I slept well. Oh, what a random life. You might have already known this, but my activities always have been decided like a kind of trial with throwing dice. So, maybe tomorrow I could forget these things I have written above and try to read a completely different book. I find that my mind is really mysterious like tomorrow's weather!
