When something benefits people, they praise it. When something is interesting for people, they scold. So, people have implicit logic. If you only think that this is directly connected to people's emotions, you may see that humans are creatures of emotion, but in reality, I believe that we are all narcissistic people who consider our own morals to be just.
Therefore, being around people who only praise all will not accomplish anything and will often just be a waste of time.
I feel lucky because I have such great friends. They support me when I face problems.
Recently, I talked about various things with a foreign friend. I was able to learn a lot about Hong Kong. I won't write anything specific, but I realized that there are many things I don't know. I believe that "knowledge of ignorance" comes from good friends.
I had been in a villa with friends for two days. To get there, I drove about 200 km. The drive got me tired, but I saw fantastic night sights and sea views.
And, we had some events. One of them is a study meeting for future demands. I understood what the next stage was and should prepare for it.
I experienced a strange thing. At midnight, an earthquake occurred. A few minutes before the earthquake, I felt a cloudy smell similar to glue. When I felt the smell, I looked for where it came from but didn't find it. Maybe, the smell came from the earthquake.
People have the ability to detect something before it happens. We have to be careful if we feel something is different from usual.
I had to take a break but drank some cups of beer and sake. That made me exhausted. Good night.
Most people don't mind but any difference is important.
For example, caramelization and the Maillard reaction are both reactions that brown foods. However, they are different. Caramelization is a word for only a change in sugar. On the other hand, the Maillard reaction is a strange phenomenon that occurs when amino acids such as proteins are heated. They are different reactions. However, many people use the word, Caramelization not to change sugar.
Poop and fart come from the same place, but they're different.
Recognizing a difference is important for living good.
I understood appearance is an important factor when people talk in person. I saw a friend who I did not see but I have talked with text. I expected the friend to be a man but one in the real is not a man. It was very surprised and I got high impact from the atmosphere of the person. Beauty is justice.
I faced an essential problem for days and I kept thinking of a good solution but it wasn't coming soon. Today, I got a trigger of the solution. A good idea comes after keeping thought.
I've heard an interesting talk about intelligence from a friend. According to this talk, adults wearing clothes that don't match their body or seasons tend to have borderline intelligence and the borderline people cannot consider their clothes and environment. That was very interesting.
Surely, many kids wear clothes that don't match the environment and generally do not have high intelligence. There may be a relationship between intelligence and clothes.
So, I looked for documents about this; however, no documents were particularly relevant. I wonder if it was just a few people's experiences because some websites and videos said only. That was interesting, but I am not sure if it is real.
I saw a police officer stop bicycles on the sidewalk in Shibuya. The police officer said bicycles must not run on the sidewalk and people must walk pushing bicycles on the sidewalk. I saw a perfect scene because bicycles running on the sidewalk are dangerous.
Life is short. I know that. And, I know social media kills my important time. Also, I have realized video content kills more. Moreover, if I feel a fried brain, the effect is stronger.
But I can't avoid the attack now because I am mentally weak. Even if one content is a short video, recent media show a series of short videos, which makes strong stimulation.
To protect myself, I need mental strength. As the first step, from now on, I will stop listening to music in the daytime. I am not sure if it's effective or not, but I realized music is one trigger to other contents in social media.
When I have felt tired, I become more aggressive. If I find a stupid thing or a joke in some media, I normally laugh and feel at peace, but when I'm tired, I often feel like I'm wasting my time and irritated.
However, smart people don't approach irritated people, so I have to train my humanity so that I don't get irritated even when I'm tired.
I casually bought a fillet of white fish at a supermarket. The front side of the package showed it was just white fish, but didn't show what it was. I thought most of the white fish we could buy at the supermarket were deep-sea fish. I believed it was seafood and bought it.
But when I had it the first bite, I noticed a difference. It was very tasty but it had a slightly muddy smell, and I felt it was more like a freshwater fish than a sea fish. Since I didn't experience the feeling from the tastes of sea fishes, I was curious about what fish it was, and I looked at the notation on the package. It showed Pangasius. Because I didn't know the name, I searched for the name. It was a catfish from overseas.
I didn't know a catfish is tasty. That was an interesting happening. Because I don't usually buy fish, it was a rare case. In the rare case, I got excited and I realized I was lucky. Something new brings me luck. Surely, I will buy it again.
