Hi, this is mayumasa.
It's still cold out, but with the arrival of the first day of spring, spring is slowly approaching.
It's natural to feel happy.
So, in today's journal, I'd like to talk about "travel," which I mentioned last time.
This time, I'd like to think about "travel" based on examples you've likely heard of.
From next time onwards, I'd like to look at the relationship between "travel" and people in the past, as well as its relationship with us from a slightly academic perspective.
So, let's get started with this famous saying.
"Ideas and distance traveled are proportional."
Many people have said this, so I'm sure you've heard it somewhere.
"In this digital age, we can get all the information we need from home, so why bother going outside and traveling?"
There's certainly some truth to that, and it seems very efficient. Let's think about our daily lives. When we face something, we accumulate "daily information" as knowledge and experience,
and then think and understand things based on that accumulation.
For us today, this is often based on "individually optimized" online information.
In other words, it's "information customized to our own habits."
The same goes for conversations with "similar people."
In addition to this background, we live our days following routines within the restrictions of our current environment (country, local government, company, etc.).
It's true that this can make it difficult to come up with new, free ideas.
People are actually free to feel and think whatever they want.
But maybe we're being restricted by some kind of restriction...? ?
For people to change, they need to take action.
But first, they need the will to decide what to do, otherwise they won't get there.
Have you ever experienced something like this? ?
When you're walking through an unfamiliar place or swaying absentmindedly on a train,
all sorts of ideas suddenly come to you.
This is called mind wondering, a phenomenon in which your attention is diverted from current tasks and you engage in spontaneous thinking.
This seems like a very free way of thinking.
It's exactly like "liberating! Freedom!"
In modern terms, it's self-affirmation and self-awareness.
It's true that you can change your mood by drinking tea or moving your body indoors.
But it seems that ideas and thoughts that "come to you" are more likely to occur
while you're traveling.
Just going out and taking a longer journey than usual,
yes, even just going to a convenience store a little further away instead of the nearest one,
can bring you to a sight you've never seen before.
From such things, you can sense something and use it to lead to your next new idea.
It seems that "travel" is not just a "meaningless journey" to reach your destination.
So, next time, I'd like to look at "travel" from the perspective of how people in the past were involved with "travel."
Today I'm writing this Journal in Osaka, away from my base in Yokohama.
I guess this is one of the ideas I have as a slow writer.
(Sorry for the slow writing m(_ _)m)
Have another wonderful travel experience today!
