2020-08-02 "My half-life may have been the preparation period for this coronal era" [長年日記]

It's natural that the probability of encountering an accident, whether in a car or on a motorcycle, increases in proportion to the amount of time you drive and the distance you drive.

Of course, your driving skills may improve in proportion to the amount of time you drive and the distance you drive, but there is an upper limit to that value.

There is no such thing as "improving driving technology endlessly".

Therefore, the correct answer is "to keep driving time and distance as small as possible in order to prevent traffic accidents."

It's just a matter of probability.

The same is true for the risk of infection in corona disasters.

The correct answer is "a mask and hand washing are important to prevent infection, but more than that, do not contact people as much as possible."

It's just a matter of probability too.

-----

It's a stressful day for many people just because they can't go out as much as they'd like.

This is because humans are supposed to be social beings -- that is, they are supposed to exist as a group.

However, we are now encouraged to act as "individual" rather than as a "group".

-----

By the way, I don't think I've always been resistant to "individual" or "loneliness".

Ever since I was in elementary school, I liked to walk home alone when I left school, with all sorts of (pretentious behavior) thoughts in my head.

When I had to leave with a friend, I was disappointed that I couldn't make up a story (in my head) today.

I don't think I was very good at "playing with more than one friend" in the first place.

Even when I was in a position where I had to organize a group of people (e.g., student council president), the sense of "I am alone" never left me.

I was thinking about a post-dating plan (eg going back to my lab at midnight to do data analysis) during the dating.

And before the Coronal began, I wrote in my diary about "eating alone", "reading alone", and "thinking alone".

After all, I am more likely to be more tolerant of being "lonely" than others.

-----

However, until now, I have chosen that "loneliness" at my own will.

I'm not really confident that I will be able to think in the same way when I have no choice but to be "alone".

-----

In any case, society is now demanding "to be a lone" as a desirable thing.

"My half-life may have been the preparation period for this coronal era"

When I think about it, I feel an indescribable irony.
