Perceive the blind spots or the reverse side of things

How ironic it would be if her liveliness was the product of her separation from her husband..... A woman turns 33 this year. She is a smart, cheerful, and caring woman. Looking at the way she works, I can imagine that her family is a happy one. She got married ten years ago. Her husband used to be a handsome young man. He drove a fancy car and took her with him to various places. So she married a young man who gave her a ride in a fancy car. And then she found out a lot of things. What should we do when we want to know the underside of things? Whether it is material or conceptual, things in general have a blind spot. As long as we use our bodies to perceive things, we cannot perceive the blind spots or the reverse side of things. If you want to know the other side of things, you have no choice but to wait for things to change. If things change, and if you’re lucky, the other side will come out. Her husband’s car had been purchased on

Hang a metal S-shaped hook on the handle

But I never imagined it would..... After riding a bicycle for about an hour on the outskirts of town, I was very tired. No part of my body or muscles ached, but I had trouble breathing. I know that riding a bicycle is an excellent aerobic exercise, but it was my first experience of actually falling into an oxygen-deficient state. It was snowing early this morning, but I didn’t mind it and rode my bike. As you know, the advantage of riding a bicycle is that it warms our bodies. It is a matter of course. Because cyclists are constantly moving their bodies. What is friendliness? I wonder what is friendliness? It is nothing less than the fact that there are abundant opportunities for analogy. An analogy is a shared commonality, but at this point I have my doubts. This is because there is generally no verification of whether shared commonalities do indeed contain common elements. I had my handbag hooked to the steering wheel. A metal S-sh

Cancel when two years have passed

When I said I wasn’t interested in installments, he told me to listen to him all the way through..... “Thank you for coming to our store. It’s right away, but various discount systems will be applied, so as a customer, it’s better to pay in installments than to pay in full.” A male salesclerk who appears to be around 30 years old frequently recommends installment payments. I wonder why this store hates lump sum payment. “In the case of payment in installments, you will have to pay the price over four years, but you can cancel when two years have passed, and in that case, you will be exempt from paying for the remaining two years.” I pretended to listen to him intently. Because I hate installments. Can tools create value? The concept as a kind of tool is useful, but its handling requires a certain amount of skill. Whether it is matter or concept, tools can only have the position of hardware. What makes a tool valuable is the software or s

Start living again surrounded by books

Because he lives the way he wants to live..... When I visited the small room where the young man lived, he was sweating while packing. He was one of my acquaintances, and I had chatted with him from time to time, and I knew that he was an unrivaled reader. “I couldn’t find a good job, so I decided to move to a faraway town.” What is the connection between things? I wonder what is the connection between things. One answer is that connection does not necessarily mean only physical proximity. Of course, synchronized physical proximity is likely to be perceived as a kind of connection. Because it is a phenomenon that can be seen with the naked eye. Many of the possessions he had piled up in front of his room were books. There are more books than clothes. You’re not a goat, are you? Are you going to travel again with such a huge stack of papers? “Hahaha, I’m going to have this luggage carried by a carrier. I’m going to leave this town alm

Use the extension of the concept for serious problems

Anyway, if I keep a few plastic bottles filled with water, it might not be a serious problem..... Temperatures will drop below freezing even in urban areas due to the cold air of -10 degrees Celsius at an altitude of 1500 meters. seriously? An altitude of 1500 meters is just the height of a low mountain. “It would be hard if the water supply stopped.” One woman expressed a very feminine concern. However, I still don’t know that she has her husband and children. “If that happens, I won’t be able to take a bath, and above all, I won’t be able to cook.” What is the structure of complex concepts? By applying or extending a concept to another concept, we can make up for our lack of knowledge. In other words, make full use of existing concepts to get a certain perspective on something you don’t know. Someone says that to prevent the tap from freezing due to cold, just leave the water running all night. I thought maybe I should collect the

Return it once and then borrow it again

You’ll have to take care of it until tomorrow morning.” .... Excuse me for a minute. I’d like to borrow a bicycle, please. “Then write your name and phone number on this piece of paper. How long are you going to ride?” I’ll use it for about an hour from now, okay, I’ll bring this bike here tomorrow. Is the person who supplements something definitely advantageous? When something is complemented by something else, I wonder if the complementer has a clear advantage. If the basis of the relationship of things is assumed to be asymmetric, then the solution is correct. However, although the complementary relationship appears to be asymmetrical at first glance, I wonder if its content is completely asymmetrical. “If you use it for more than one night, please return it by 10:00 a.m. the next day. After 10:00 a.m., you will be charged an additional fee.” understood. Let’s borrow this bike. After about an hour, I will return the bicycle here, r

Finish muttering, look at me

I wanted to comfort him, but he continued to fiddle with his bandage with his left hand..... “I went to see a doctor and was told I had torn a ligament, and I wasn’t allowed to lift anything heavy.” I had no interest in his petty misfortune, but he seemed so eager to talk to me that I had a brief conversation with him. He is an ordinary young man. He wears dull clothes, eats cheap food, hangs out in this hangout, and goes somewhere to work. Can new things be created? First of all, I would like to point out that there can be no single unprecedented event. As long as we are historical beings, it is foolish to ask for unprecedented events. “Well, it’s a small accident caused by my carelessness. My right hand will be bandaged for a week.” He muttered so while touching the brand new bandage wrapped around his right hand with his left hand, and when he finished muttering, he looked at me. I didn’t know how to comfort him then. Because the little

Define no monetary price for a concept

I receive a piece of bread that smells like butter..... “Listen, listen! It was strangely warm when I got in here this morning. And when I looked around here, the stove was still on.” A woman picks up a specific individual’s name and ridicules a man’s carelessness. Many of the people who gather here are strange, but few have ever been mentioned by name. She told someone about the brooding youth’s carelessness, but she was never accused of her proclivities. Are economic power and information power correlated? Whether or not it’s brilliant, some concepts are widely spread. Such concepts are often surprisingly old and simple. I wonder what makes such a concept so widespread. One answer is that such concepts are cheap to procure. Of course, no monetary price can be defined for a concept. Nonetheless, the acquisition or use of concepts incurs a certain informational cost. No food or drink should be left on the table here. Because if anythi

Be neither commercial nor residential areas

However, it still retains the atmosphere of the past..... During the daytime, the city center is bustling with traffic and hustle and bustle, but at night it is extremely quiet. People who gather in the city center return to their suburban residences when the sun goes down, so the city center’s daytime population declines sharply. The commuter towns in the suburbs are not crowded, but dispersed, so they are not surrounded by hustle and bustle. But what about the middle ground between downtown and suburbs? Is information newer than knowledge? Information is updated more frequently than knowledge, and therefore new. Knowledge rarely contains obvious errors or falsehoods, but the probability that information does contain them is extremely high. Areas slightly away from the city center are neither commercial nor residential areas. Specifically, it has a bit of both features. In other words, restaurants stay open until late at night, a

Be not the other thing, but the one thing that has changed

She must have known that I had already confirmed the basic schedule for next month..... “I printed out your schedule for next month. Let me give it to you.” thank you. I thanked a woman in her early twenties. The woman’s specialty is that she can talk to someone while drinking vegetable juice. I think this is definitely a skill. What are the conditions for change to be recognized? Everyone knows that all things will change over time. However, certain conditions must be met for the change to be recognized. The condition is that the rate of change is appropriate. If change happens too quickly, we don’t perceive it as change. Rather, we think that something else happened. She puts the vegetable juice in her mouth and swallows it while her conversation partner sucks in air. While her conversation partner is speaking, she holds a glass of vegetable juice close to her face while one eye is looking at her conversation partner. Such a sequ

Trust a concept without a counter concept

It will make you feel refreshed! .... Someone said that carbon dioxide is denser than air, so unless you stir it up, it will settle to the floor. Therefore, I thought that the carbon dioxide in the body would accumulate in the lower abdomen. This hypothesis is why I do handstands. Everyone knows you can take in a lot of air by taking a deep breath or belly breath, but I doubt it. What are the disadvantages of a concept without a pair concept? A concept without a counter concept should not be trusted. Because it means not being criticized by anything. For example, I wonder what is the opposite concept of the concept of safety. It is basically impossible to give a single concrete example of what threatens the concept of security in the abstract. Because safety means that nothing happens and the status quo doesn’t change. Because the carbon dioxide is pulled by gravity and stays, right? If that’s true, it’s hard to believe that deep breathi

Show off their relative ferocity

The eyes of the crows staring at me were dark gray, not black..... I don’t know the name of a small bird with yellow-green wings and a beak smaller than its face. I didn’t know until the other day that that kind of bird sleeps every night on the branches of the osmanthus tree. The other night, I had some errands to do, and when I shook the branches of an osmanthus tree, several of the birds let out a high-pitched cry and flew away hastily. Why do we know nothing about the general picture of things? Concrete images are relatively easy to perceive, thanks to the diligence we pursue every day. On the other hand, we know nothing about the general picture of things. That’s because the general picture of things transcends our ability to perceive. On the other hand, as you know, crows’ beaks are bigger than their heads. The thick base of the beaks of crows shows off their relative ferocity. Crows have large wings compared to their body size. I

Be white flowers sparkling white

White flowers are sparkling white, and red flowers are fiery red..... I vaguely understand why bars stay open until midnight, but I wonder why flower shops, ice shops, and fruit shops stay open late. When it comes to flower shops, flowers are light, but soil is heavy. Therefore, the flower shop is a business suitable for strong young men. Why do we hate harm and evil? No one doubts that it is our survival instinct to shy away from harmful things. Harm or evil is instinctively abhorred. The reason is that they are hated. However, we would like you to know that the method of such division is also a matter of degree. Harm is harm only to a certain extent, and evil can be evil only to a certain extent. The one young man seems unfriendly and unwilling to sell flowers. If you tell him you want roses, he’ll just point to one spot in the store. Once, when a customer asked him for daffodils, he only replied, “We don’t have them here!” He wea

Emphasize increasing customer satisfaction

“That’s why I always try to greet customers with a smile.” .... “Is the new workplace fun? Is it easy to work?” “Well, I think it’s on the good side, but the instructions given are all about customer satisfaction.” A man was a little surprised to hear her reply. Previously, the workplace only emphasized the number of contracts. What information determines the rating? Don’t forget that there is more than one piece of information to evaluate things. It is a condition for evaluation that multiple pieces of information are integrated and considered. Therefore, there will be no easy way to improve the evaluation. It may be because the recession made it difficult to acquire new customers. Because overall sales can be maintained even by selling various perks to existing customers rather than acquiring new customers. Or maybe it’s because the store manager has changed again. Due to the recession, the store manager there will be replaced withi

Be caught in another branch

However, both ends were sharply cut..... I don’t prune the day after it rains. The reason is that raindrops on leaves and branches may rust the blades of the pruning shears. Dirty pruning shears, but still usable. Someone kept using this secateurs and pruning the branches of this osmanthus tree. By what criteria are almost all things sorted? We are always conscious of the concept of necessity or must. The scope of application of such concepts is wide. Nearly everything we come into contact with is sorted by whether or not we need it. But the evidence for need is not as strong as we think. Because the basis of necessity is only a prediction. I think this applies not only to osmanthus but to all trees, but the leaves of trees grow thick only where they are exposed to sunlight. For this reason, neither buds nor leaves sprout on the branches that are shaded by the overgrown leaves. The branches that grow in the shade just grow as branches

Divorce her ex-husband shortly before or after the child was born

And I wonder if her brother and her child are getting along..... “My previous husband said something like this” or “My ex-husband often said something like this.” Three people live in a rented house on the outskirts of town. A young woman, a young man and a young child. A man and a woman are not husband and wife. A man is just a woman’s younger brother. What are the terms of freedom? The condition of freedom is nothing other than being free from all shackles. However, freedom is basically an unstable state, which is often avoided. Those who think so choose inconvenience over instability. At first glance, this seems like an anti-liberal position. And the little child was born to her. She divorced her ex-husband shortly before or after the child was born. why did she get divorced? No, this question makes no sense. Because with marriages these days, the bigger issue is why people don’t get divorced. Of course, her younger brother looks

Contain the meaning of things in a vessel called form

Aren’t you guys going to the main street? .... Just a few minutes ago. I had a small errand to do, so when I crossed the main street, I noticed that there were a lot of young people walking by who were looking awfully dressed up. A celebration is being held in this town today. The young people dressed up are probably going out to eat now while being happy. I don’t know in detail what the event is to celebrate. It seems that the mayor of this town gave a lecture at the public hall of the town. What is the meaning of things? The meaning of things is contained in a vessel called form, without which the meaning would disappear. And while form can be used almost indefinitely, meaning has an expiration date. Rather, ephemeral elements excluded from consistent elements such as logic are even generally called meaning. Thus, meaning is a temporary element, but it therefore has an accurate facet of the current situation. But since participatio

Manifest people’s attitudes toward things

But if this is not forgotten, then the claim that attitudes are a certain vanity might be plausible..... “Oh, hey, you. I need to talk to you. Are you okay now?” What is it for? It’s not uncommon for her to stop me, but it’s clear that the reason she stopped me at this hour was not to treat me to lunch. “There is a flaw in your work record from a few days ago. So please fix it today.” Why is it important to take a stand? In human relationships, expressing one’s attitude is surprisingly important. Because those who don’t take a stand can’t play a major role in relationships. Originally, to express something means to make latent things visible. But can people’s attitudes toward things really manifest themselves? The answer is somewhat negative. Because attitude means an internal state, which is distinguished from external behavior. yes? My work record is submitted by me, reviewed by someone other than me, and entered into an electronic

Bulge red nylon bag awkwardly

I can’t remember when it started, but I think it started around early autumn..... Hey! I see you from time to time, but you’re on the bus sometimes, aren’t you? When I was looking for an empty hanger near the entrance of the hangout, I saw a young man doing the same thing. If all the hangers were occupied by someone’s coats and stuffed animals, I was going to put the coats on the hanger stand, but the guy had no intention of doing that. Why are precedents being repeated? Experiences are events that can never be replicated, but certain similarities can be observed. It means that ordinary experiences produce almost the same results no matter who experiences them. Rather, we live our daily lives surrounded by such events. For that reason, out of a little laziness, we seem to have a tendency to repeat precedents. We like to think of experiences as recurring, not just once. He took off his heavy jacket, noticed that there weren’t enough ha

Be one of the downsides of information simplification

“There’s a little black device in front of the elevator door, right? Touch your card there!” .... “Is this your first time here? Here, first write your name and phone number on this sheet.” At the front entrance of this skyscraper was a wide driveway, in front of which were at least two administrative staff. There is no outdoor parking here. All cars or bicycles that come here are guided to the basement parking space. There’s nothing particularly grand going on here tonight. In other words, management staff are stationed in front of the entrance on a daily basis. It’s a great apartment complex! What are the harmful effects of simplification of information? Basically all the information we receive is simplified. The information includes various concepts and even knowledge. One of the downsides of information simplification is that information is altered. This is an evil enough to make us lose sight of the truth. Conversely, the advantag

Scrape away bit by bit

Because the lump of metal is scraped away like an eraser! .... Hard metal chunks are scraped away like a knife cutting an eraser. Have you ever seen such a sight up close? It’s not a pipe dream or some kind of magic. A true story of metal cutting. Do functions and concepts always go together? Everything is made up of functional and conceptual aspects. Functions without concepts are meaningless, and concepts without functions are nonsense. However, the structure is not always put together as a single unit, and sometimes it is separated into two. In that case, the functional aspect of the event functions as a representative element of the thing, and does not need a concept for the time being. However, such astonishing scenes require cutting blades that are harder than metal materials. If a thumb-sized cutting blade rotates at high speed and is slowly pressed against metal, the metal material will be scraped away bit by bit. Of course, t
