I worked late today. This morning, I joined the daily English Zoom meeting as usual. Today's theme was the so-called nomad workers' work style in New Zealand. I have never done "remote work", so the other members shared experiences were very interesting. At the end of the meeting, the host asked us what country we would choose to work in if we were nomad workers. I couldn't answer about it soon, but I said I would choose to keep working in this city because this city has a cozy and peaceful atmosphere and therefore it is less dangerous than urban ones such as Tokyo or Osaka.

After that, I went to the main house of my group home. However, TBH I couldn't concentrate on anything even though I couldn't find the reason why. Although I had to read the rest part of "Harry Potter", I couldn't. So, I gave up and turned the TV on, and enjoyed watching a news program. Then, that news told me that today was the 20th anniversary of YouTube, which started its service 20 years ago today. 20 years ago... I could never predict that YouTube would have such a huge influence. Time flies.

From 1 p.m., I started today's work. During my working time, I thought about several ideas such as about my childhood days. Sometimes people say that my attitude (especially, my "habit" of logical thinking) is very rigoristic. From this viewpoint, I want to tell you a completely contrary "truth" which says I am a very sly, and also wishy-washy guy who is easily blown by several outer factors. However, maybe people see that I am too dutiful to my nature (very easily surrendering to my primal ego).

When I was a kid, a teacher found that classmates bullied me, and scolded them. Then, these classmates temporarily quit bullying me and even praised how I was a nice classmate to them. However, it wouldn't last so long. A banal episode (maybe through the so-called cognitive bias in me). However, this episode could have taught me how important to think about any idea so logically and steadily.

I should repeat this: I am a very irrational, random guy who is easily controlled by several enigmatic passions and desires. I am (probably this may sound like Prince's or George Michael's songs) an animal. However, even though I can be such a silly creature, I want to try having a truly "human" soul or spirit.
