I worked late today. This morning, at AEON I enjoyed reading Roald Dahl's novel "Matilda" in English. The more I read this fantastic, fascinating novel the more I have become a fan of this charming and intelligent girl, Matilda. Maybe that could be a reason why, after starting today's work, and having a break time I started thinking about the meaning of being aged/mature for a while (probably, it could have come from my physical work too which had required me to do my task from a vast source of experiences).
What is the meaning of ages/experiences? Does it mean straightly having plenty of experience? When I was young, even though I was just an innocent, immature guy, I tried to get a mature and cool adult who must know a lot of things instead of enjoying youth. Simply, I had just been a foolish, too-young guy (or you would say it can be a banal, orthodox story). I remember... I couldn't have enjoyed, never get into the chitchatting the classmates' had enjoyed a lot in classrooms (I could never have understood why they could enjoy such a banal, boring J-POP!).
Now, I can feel that the world has actually, slowly changed into a diverse, comfortable, advanced one where I can spend a fun time with my friends calmly, and pleasantly. The internet connection has connected us so tightly and closely that now I can enjoy various minor topics such as how the group Deacon Blue's or The Blue Nile's music has been splendid with other ones. Oh, once when I had been drunken in a vast pool of alcohol, and never expected that I would start learning English again... everything had seemed to have already ended completely. But, the time is changing.
I heard that on the 10th of this month, another new Nobel Literature Prize Winner this year would be shown/told in public. Of course, I have been loving, and also having a strong respect with Haruki Murakami, but TBH I think he would lose the honor. However, whether he gets it or not, I will never lose this respect for him because he has been teaching me how I can manage myself, and my precious essences (this character, this self-esteem, this taste, etc...) actually through his works. Therefore, I never hesitate to say that he is a great, marvelous teacher (or my virtual father) of mine.
