Bombarded by Garbage
22/January/2023 in Tokyo
These days, all Japanese TV, newspapers, online news say very strong cold wave will come to Japan next week and it would bring snow & be very careful, blah blah blah
This is one of drawbacks of living in a home country where one can easily understand what's going on without cultural/language barriers
Exposed to completely unnecessary matters everyday
Bombarded by garbage 24/7
and inevitably get affected on subconscious & conscious level
They say, due to this cold wave, Tokyo's temperature would be minus 4
Surely, it's surprisingly cold for Tokyo people
But when I lived in Warsaw, minus temperature was nothing surprising
Even in Tbilisi where I stayed 2 months ago, there were days that were below 0 degree
But still, I feel like this cold wave is some big thing and feel like I'll have to change some plans for next week
News is a necessary entertainment for modern human life in order to avoid boredom
Paying attention to / feeling angry at / giving sympathy to
events that have zero connection with one's life
Doing nothing & feeling nothing is unbearable for human beings
Always looking for things that bring waves to our mind & consume our emotions,
even if the leftovers are empty bottles of Coca Cola, dirty supermarket plastic bags, decayed muddy woods, broken foreign toys, smelly grotesque seaweeds......
even if we do know these garbage are left in the end, we still can't stop hoping for new waves that bring dramas to our life
