最近は昔に比べていろんな情報量が格段に増えてしまっていませんか。

その情報に振り回されて、めっちゃ忙しくなってる気がするんです。やらないといけないことや勉強しないといけないことがめっちゃ増えてる。

選択肢が増えてるってことはいいことなんだと思いますけど、人としての処理速度って限界があると思います。限界を超えるとどうなるのか・・・ストレスが溜まって壊れます。

だから今は知識は広く浅くという言葉は死語になった気がします。広すぎるんです。それならば狭く深くが求められる時代なのではないでしょうか。

そのうち狭く浅くの時代が来るかも知れません。だってフィルムカメラがまた流行りだしてるみたいだから。

で、写真ですが大泉緑地の四季彩園で撮った千日紅です。暑さに負けずに咲く姿を汗をかきかき撮影してました。

This leathery-winged butterfly is common in parks here. A native of India and Sri Lanka, it was first sighted to have landed here early this century.

Today I walked to the farmer's fields at 6 a.m. because our apartment block has been blocking the sunrise for ages. Was very worthwhile! 🌻 By the way, since I have "Globe Amaranth" more butterflies have been visiting. Catnip is growing next to it (direct sowing). The bees actually like it, but they are addicted to my Moroccan mint. They don't appreciate my work! 🐝
