ukraine war

"Peony" watercolor

If you look at YouTube etc.、There are many channels about the Ukraine war.、All of them seem to be watched fairly well.。Unlike civil wars related to tribal conflicts in developing countries,、between well-known developed countries、And it's not like a fight over some small island.、It is natural that there is a lot of interest as it is an all-out war with the survival of a nation at stake.、As far as Japan is concerned、Speaking without fear of misunderstanding、for many people、Probably because it's real entertainment.。

Even in a desperate fight、As long as an unrelated third party can view it from a safe location.、it can be a kind of entertainment。at the Colosseum in ancient Rome、Like a spectator watching a duel between a prisoner and a lion.、Or a dying zebra being attacked by a hyena.、There is no need to mention the example of tourists taking photos with smartphones from safari vehicles.。

But、As many have already pointed out、The war in Ukraine is by no means something that can be watched from a height.、It has nothing to do with Japan.、I think too。if、If Ukraine loses、It was almost against one country, Russia.、America、Nato、It would be tantamount to Japan and other allied forces losing.。Even at the United Nations、There will no longer be any countries that will listen to what America has to say.、Germany in Russia、Nato is split between France and the rest.、Even if China invades Taiwan、no one can stop me anymore。Russia and China will eventually compete.、For the time being, they will be the two biggest leaders in the world.。

I don't think it's pessimism.。It's a very logical conclusion。South of Tokyo is Chinese territory、There is also a non-zero possibility that the north will become Russian territory.。それがウクライナ戦争の日本における意味だと思います日本を含め欧米は確かにウクライナに大きな援助をしています。But、対岸の火事感一種の観衆感を拭い去ることができませんウクライナは負けそうです援助も遅すぎ少な過ぎ制約あり過ぎで非効率と言われていますこのツケはそう遠くないうちに自分たちで支払うことになるでしょう。now、そうならないことを祈るしかできませんがこの記事はウクライナ戦争に対する現時点での自分自身の記録として書きました

Afternoon at T housing complex

It's a common sight, but、10I don't know if it will still be "common" years from now.。The form of housing not only changes with the times;、Things can change suddenly due to war, etc.、we are seeing right now。

weekday afternoon、peaceful housing complex。But、It's quiet and there are hardly any people around.。Sometimes a car passes by、Sometimes elderly people on bicycles stumble past.、An old woman who appeared to be returning from shopping was caught in a cart.、slowly heading towards the entrance of the apartment。

There is sunshine in winter in the Kanto region.。The green leaves of the tree are shining brightly。Looking outside from a warm room feels like spring.。But、I can't hear my child's voice。I can't hear people talking。peaceful、common scenery。

Spring is coming

"Cherry blossoms and merry-go-round" watercolor

on YouTube、I started consciously devoting my time and energy to、A whole year and a half has passed。For about a year before that, I had little interest in YouTube itself.、I was told that I would probably need it later.、I needed to quickly get used to the iPad.、draw on ipad、I will make a simple video of the process and upload it.、I passed by just practicing.。

I want to be able to make "normal videos"、During the past year and a half, when I “became more conscious”、Number of views increased from 3000 to 60000、The number of subscribers ranges from around 30 to over 600.、Approximately 20 times more。When I first started, I would have been happy with this number and thought it was amazing.。But realistically、This means "You are not suitable for YouTube"、It seems that the number is equivalent to a declaration.。It's true that it takes 18 months to multiply by 20 times.、It simply means that you only increase by what you do.。people calling people、That means it has to be a so-called acceleration curve.。

What it takes to be “successful” on YouTube、in my case、Apparently we need 100 to 200 times more views and subscribers than we have now! How distant is that number?、I'm starting to understand more and more now.。
If you can say it's a hobby、It doesn't really matter though、Is it of any use in the classroom?、I was thinking vaguely.、考え方を変えなければならないことになりました。consumption of time and energy、It's too big。I want to convey the joy of drawing、That's what I was thinking、For that reason, I don't lose time to draw pictures myself.、Eyes get worse (perhaps this is due to aging)、Because sometimes I feel depressed.、It's literally putting the cart before the horse.。

Should I quit YouTube after I started it?。Still a little、I feel like it's a waste。What is “success”?、もともとできるとは思っていなかったけれど、It's not quite "useful" yet.、Isn't there room to make use of it?、How inexperienced、さらに深みにはまりそうな気もしますし
 しばらく気分転換が必要かもしれません。It's still winter according to the calendar、It's the first day of spring in a few days.。First, let's draw some cherry blossoms.、自分を楽しませてやろうと思っているところです
