TBH, I am still suffering from a sore throat. This morning, after the daily English Zoom meeting (today's theme was the relationship between having an eco-friendly attitude and feeling happiness), I went to the main house of my group home to see the sub-admin. Even though I had to work late, I decided not to work because it seemed that I was in the beginning stage of a cold, even though I didn't feel any extraordinary fever. The sub-admin said it was a good decision. I went to the clinic near the main house and got some medicines.
This afternoon, therefore, I spent my time staying in bed. After having a lunchbox, I took a nap. After that, I opened a favorite book, Kei Wakabayashi's "Farewell, Future [若林恵『さよなら未来』]" while playing Michael Jackson's evergreen albums (especially, the incredible "Thriller"). Although I have already read this book once, I could enjoy reading it with a fresh mind. One topic this book contained attracted my interest. It was about our casual action in this era, "writing something".
In this book, Wakabayashi introduces a marvelous Japanese philosopher, Shunsuke Tsurumi's theory about writing. Tsurumi said that in our minds, there is a sort of "chemistry" with our inner ideas and also socialized essences. It means (at least, how I've accepted/understood means) that in our minds, there have already been any "social" essences delivered from outside, even in our personal/private territories. In other words, within our hidden territories, there are already several socialized ideas.
Certainly, it is a provoking opinion. In my case (even though I can't show you any scientific evidence), I write "my" personal truths in public like this, which are trying to reach for other readers' minds. Thinking about this, and also, looking back at my habits such as learning English with others, it seems that I have not given up the possibility of communicating in a society yet. It seems to me a really strange figure of this life.
How do other people find their unique meaning in writing and put their opinions on social media? Within the fizziness and slight hurting feeling in my throat, I thought about this issue. In my case, I started writing these diaries to deliver my thoughts/ideas to many precious friends privately. However, now it has become an important habit of mine.
