So we've all been duped... no wonder it's so difficult to wake up early in the morning... and the sun does not really set at 7pm but at 6pm... and we're all at work by 7-8am... no it's not the numbers I'm talking about, but rather how far the sun is into the day - doesn't it start to make sense if we really started work at 9am - on the third or forth hour of sunshine in the day? If it still were the gentle warmth of the sun that wakes us up each morning, then we'd have three good hours of the morning sun... instead of having to grope in the dark when the day is still half asleep...
ah well, so what is "real" on this island?

Between flights, between trains,
spaces of time,
To some, this would be the purpose of joerney; yet another wolud want it in print,
Etched in the mind, between
The freezing smile and the relaxing pose.
It's been a day that seemed a journey, between
The opening and the closing of uneager eyes that are
Not entirely uncharmed, just unexcited, having forgotten their
Curiosity. But today I walked streets that felt altogether foreign,
Like clips of different movies
I failed trying to piece together.
Yet there was something that was suddenly enjoyable about this -
After week upon week that seemed no different from one another, this was
Quite like a journey.
Say then, what would the purpose of journey be?
Today there was none,
When between trains were other trains,
And between walks were other walks,
Yet somehow this purposeless movement,
Made me quite settled, not trying to look for a reason
To be in transit.

宮崎監督は映画を作らない。と、言ったら、あまりに失礼でしょうか。
でも本当そうですよ。彼が作るのは、映画じゃなく、世界だ。実は世界より、宇宙っていうか、次元だ。映画館に入った僕は、決してストーリの発展にこだわっておらず、その宮崎監督の世界に踏み込みたかったから切符を買ったのです。
微 妙だよ、宮崎監督の世界っては。なぜかすごい穏やかな感じがするんだよ、いつも。ストーリに争いがあり、戦争もあるけど、なぜか、穏やかだ。どんな騒動が 起こされても、なぜかどこかに希望が秘めてある。その感じが大好きだ。見ているうちに、また希望に信じ直れるかもしれません。
「ハウルの動く城」はよくできたから観に行く映画じゃない。
あの宮崎監督の世界に入りたいから観に行く映画だ、きっと。

17 minutes of my life left. As if that were all that's left to live, yet I'd choose to type aimlessly into windows that hold blank words and talk to people who ask me what i'm doing here, and I tell them I'm just looking for a chat. Now 15 minutes. And still I'd sit there wondering why i should be talking to people to whom I can neither attach a face nor a personality - and at that, for the 15 minutes I have left. Is it like this when you reach the end? Or should this be the best you can hope for at the end? At least, tonight, after my battery's gone, I can plug this machine back into its socket and let it suck up a full life, and tomorrow it will be good to me again. Ah, yes, and that, must be the mindless addiction to technology - that after a reboot, we can spend another life figuring out why we're all still hanging around.

Okay, let me just be simplistic and quasi-quantitative. Let's imagine most of the world start working at 20 years old, work 5 days a week, retire at 60, live till 80, get married and have 2 children in each family.
So, you would spend 5/7 of 40 years of your live earning money, 2/7 of 40 years and 7/7 of 20 years spending money, while your kid spends 7/7 of his first 20 years, spending your money. So,
Say A and B have equal need. So A would serve B, and B would serve A. So when A works, B enjoys, and when B works, A enjoys. So A would work 7 hours in 14, and B would work another 7 in 14.
Yet here, you would work 5 hours in 14. So someone somewher is working 9 in 14 - afterall, someone's gotta give, rite? That would be 9/5 as much work as you. But if you work 5 days a week, how can that someone be woring 9 days a week?
Ah, that's because you can make more than 1 person happy at the same time. If you could make 2 people happy in 1 hour, then you can work 1/3 of the time and everyone will be happy. Ah, maybe that's the strength in numbers - and why personal service is so expensive...
okay, maybe this sounds like rubbish :P

(5/7)*40 : (2/7)*40 + 20 + 20
