Dangerous heat

"Hamanasu flowers and fruit" Watercolor

It's hot、How many times have you said this year?。When you say the word "hot"、I feel really hot、I try to say "It's warm"、It's strange because I feel like it feels 2-3 degrees lower when I do that.。everyone、How are you doing?

And yet、News and weather forecasts have been repeatedly calling out ``dangerous heat.''。Just hearing it makes me feel breathless, as if it were 2-3 degrees higher.、It's a kind of "warning"、It can't be helped。Every day, your smartphone will receive notifications such as ``Please refrain from exercising outside'' and ``Do not go out unless it is urgent.''。

According to news etc.、It seems that ``dangerous heat'' is spreading all over the world.。Due to the heat wave "Charon" that occurred in North Africa、In places like Italy, temperatures have already been above 40°C for several days.、in a few more days、Rome is said to be on track to surpass Europe's record high temperature of 48.8 degrees Celsius.。In China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, temperatures have already exceeded 50 degrees Celsius.。To be honest, the temperature is unimaginable.。
 In such a place、As for whether everyone is using a cooler?、maybe not。For those who do not have a cooler (for those who are out of order or cannot use it for economic or other reasons)、I think it's a real "dangerous heat"。Was it about ten years ago?、Similar heatwaves have hit Europe and the Americas.、The memory of many people dying at that time came back to me.。
In southern Ukraine、Infectious diseases such as cholera have occurred due to flooding after the dam was destroyed.、It is reported that it is spreading in even worse environments such as trenches.。I'm thinking, "Maybe if we're at war!"、Only one person in the world can stop it、The doubly frightening reality is that Mr. Putin is the only one who is crazy.。

 暑い日差しの中で海水浴をしながら海岸べりに群生しているハマナスの実を採ったりした子どもの頃のことなどこの異常な世界の中ではまるで夢の中の出来事のようです。in any case、夏はまだ始まったばかり(確かまだ梅雨明けもしていなかったはず)どうぞ“ご無事に”この夏をお過ごしください

Summer festival ends

the last of the festival、15 minutes before float delivery

The summer festival in my town (city) was yesterday Sunday.、It ended at 10 p.m.。There is a shrine across the street from my house.、every evening、Flute and ohayashi drum practice was held there.。It felt noisy when I moved in.、Before I knew it, I got used to it.、I can hear it, but I'm not listening to it、It seems that I have become able to use my ears in this way.。It will cheer you up when you are feeling down.、I don't feel bad。

when I was a student、Even the famous Sanja Festival in Tokyo has lost its bearers.、When I remember that the festival itself was barely held,、Although it's not as big as the local festival boom.、There is a feeling of being separated by a lifetime.。After the coronavirus (although it seems like the coronavirus is still going on)、Medical institutions themselves are now seen as wolf boys.)、Do you feel that way all the more?。

Japan's population is shrinking year by year、The wider the region, the wider the range seems to be.。Whether the festival can be held、It may also be a barometer of whether a municipality can survive.。According to the public information, our city's population is decreasing little by little.、I feel that the number of foreigners is gradually increasing instead.。many more、Becoming a city that is easy for people from various countries to live in、I think it would be good to develop internationalism from the local areas.、Considering the closed nature of the area, there is almost no hope.。
Festivals create local connections。warm areas、I think this can be achieved through many such exchanges.。on the other hand、Strong ties tend to have strong exclusivity at the same time.。An organization similar to the territorial sense of wild animals、Is it like a sense of belonging?。That's、Before you know it, it transforms into something grotesque.、We also saw it at the beginning of the Ukraine war.。

What's important is、There is nothing other than “people”。。You can't do a festival alone.、Even if you can do it, it won't be fun if you're alone.。Some people pull floats、Some people just watch、I enjoy being able to share something good that I wouldn't be able to do alone.。The Osaka Expo scheduled to be held next year is、It seems to be quite unpopular both at home and abroad.。Just my imagination、The organizer may only see the estimate.。In a society that only sees each person as a ``number of people,''、I can't see the future。I feel like the Expo will be the event that proves that.。

That a person has to die

"Yellow Wall" watercolor on cotton paper

News that entertainer and YouTuber “Ryucheru” has passed away.。It was said to be suicide (although I'm curious about how this word is used)。I didn't know much about the activity itself.、I never expected it from that friendly smile.。I wonder how much it must have been painful、my heart hurts。

Since ancient times、However, I don't know what to compare it with.、I feel that as we approach modern times, the number of unreasonable deaths is increasing.。Because life does not originally desire death (probably)、Some may say that all deaths are unreasonable.、In my opinion (although it is not defined at all)、It is a death that goes against the desire to live a better life.。

In the Ukraine war、We know that many young lives are lost by the hundreds every day.。whether it's the russian army、Whether it's the Ukrainian army、Whether there is a good cause for war or not.、The truth is、No one wants to give up their life in war.。like war、Of course, that's not what he wants to do.、I didn't even start、Everyone can understand that it's better not to do it.、I don't think I have to die because of something like that.、How unreasonable is that?。But、A huge force that cannot be stopped by individuals pushes people toward death.。where does that power come from?。When you ask why why why?、You'll realize that it could be anyone.。

disease、accident、by suicide、Many people around me have already died.。Death is a fate that must come to all living things.、That doesn't mean it's okay for others to do something like that.。no matter how many people die、Each life is 100%、It doesn't get any lower than that.。“Death” is something that even the person himself should not touch.、That's what it is。Nevertheless、“Words,” “systems,” and “desires” that easily drive people to death。There are now over 8 billion people in the world。The accumulation of that wisdom、What is this?。
