Excessiveness

Balance is always important in the world.

How to maintain sustainable environment on earth?
How to avoid conflict between nations?
How to keep developing a company?
How to reserve peace in a family......

In order to control total balance, sometimes we together with other parties, establish system to observe and restrict excessiveness of one party.

But in case, if people too much rely on observing and restricting system, world will get boring.

In addition, some kind of achievement can be always and only by something very special and strong motivation.
That kinds of motivation sometimes cannot be explained logically.
People are sometimes moved by unreasonable, unconsious and inexplicable motive.

Those shall not be used for excuse for crimes or terro attacks.
But in actual scene in culture, economy, sports or etc. it might be quite true that these kinds of unreasonable, unconsious and inexplicable motive, excessiveness or singularity always had changed the history and the world.
Somehow, excessiveness or singularity is leading or controlling the world.

In that context, measuring just distance by ordinary fixed ruler is totally useless.

How to evaluate, monitor and measure distance to in integrated ruler, excessiveness will be big theme for the world, nation, company and family.




Density of distance

Sometimes, we hesitate to approach to some kinds of people even though distance between the person and ourselves is same as distance between friends and ourselves.

We can say, that is psychological distance rather than physical distance.
But in another words, there is a density in distance, which works as resistance factor.

Not only measuring distance between 2 objects, but also identifying density, resistance factor, weight of distance is important.

Distance engraved in Surface of Tree Trunk

<Cherry in Japan>

Distance as Years the tree lived till today
Distance between life of the tree and environment
Distance between the life of tree and moss
Distance of all lives of whom played in the park where the tree was planted, of whom cherished its beautiful blossoms every year and of whom just passed by
Distance of all winds, rains and sunshine for years

https://pin.it/gtbahvmjw5mgxz




<Palm tree in Jakarta>

Immeasurable...

I was trapped by the word “distance” almost 20 years before.
And started this kind of blog to memorize for myself.
“Distancology” is half joke but half serious for me.

But sometimes we have to admit, there are things we cannot measure......

- Death
- One-sided love
- Conflict
- Dream

Or etc.

Previously I idiotically imagined such “Distancology” can suggest a hint or help people to solve problems in their lives. Something like a methodology or even a Philosofy.

But the real issues in a life are far beyond “distance”.

Still, or rather, that’s why, I would like to continue silly blog!

“Manchester by the Sea”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_by_the_Sea_(film)

Spoiler alert

Distance between Daddy and his little kids
Distance between life and death
Distance between a stove and flammable floor
Distance in fire
Distance between home and a conenience store
Distance between crazy fun and a tragedy
Distance between memories and a fact
Distance betweeen inexhaustible love and a mistake
Distance between alchole and life
Distance between a husband and his ex-wife
Distance between an uncle and his nephew
Distance between trauma and a life in front
Distance between Manchester by the sea and Boston
Distance between a boy and an alcoholic mother
Distance between two brothers
Distance between friends
Distance between male friends and a wife
Sea and a boat as hopeful Distance between the nephew’s new life and the uncle’s irrecoverable wounded life

I used to think a movie which connote various kinds of distance between things is great movie, but the “Manchester by the Sea” shows more (or rather should I say, none?)

One way direction towards lost kids as infinity distance, immeasurable distance...
That’s why this movie is so heavy and bring people at a loss for words.

This is not at all just a story of one guy trying to have his life over again.
Rather, he gave up that and stood in front of the fact.

Excellent movie.

Meaning of discussing about Distance?

Is any meaning or merit in discussing about Distance?

Reason I started writing the blog from view point of distance is just because I am not good at measuring distance in life.

But I imagine, we who are living in the world, where global economy violently unites a whole world in a second, while on the other hand a lot of nationalism is arising in each area of the world.

In such a condition, how to measure the world might be a key to explore the world.
To measure distance between 2 objects in front of oneself and to measure distance from oneself to the objects, both.

And what kind of stories in the Distance itself we can find out might be also a key to enjoy the life.
Some kind of distance in real life never disapeare unfortunately, however, (or rather) that's why we can enjoy the life.

As a trial, some memos are trying to analyse Movie, Music or whatever from the view point of Distance.
From my view, impressive movies contain a lot of Distance in different phases which gives the movies richness.
And the most impressive ones sometimes suggest unmeasurable Distance.
Unmeasurable means "unable to describe in text" but those great movie shows or embrace that unmeasurable Distance in a picture, that is the real pleasure of a movie, I believe.

It might be called composition of plots or the theme, I guess. If we analyse movies every time from the view poin of Distance, it would be boring and spoil the great movies.
But it may give us a hint to our real life.

Distance between a movie and a real life......

"A Perfect World"

Distance between the real life and the perfect world.
"Perfect" dosen't require "Distance", does it?

Perfect world might be an utopia which requires no distance to anybody.
That would be for the persons who are not good at handling real distance in the real world.
