めがね

I have been watching lots of movies lately, since time is something I do not lack. However, all these movies I watched until today were quite boring and didn't really speak to me (except for The Lord of the Rings marathon on a Saturday).

"めがね" is a movie that warms your tired mind. Watching this movie, I wanted to live a simple life like the characters who do morning exercises called "Merci" and have a 氷あずき while looking at the emerald sea. I also realized that I cannot eat or relax or do anything really without having my phone in my hands. When did it come to this? I asked myself, 'why do we always have to be doing something?' I have forgotten the importance of doing nothing. You have to take a rest from time to time. Resting is essential. I also realized that I should take my time doing things, whether it is cooking or reading or writing or etc. I should really try to enjoy the moment and appreciate it. Multitasking is taken for granted in this modern society. I resent that. I resent even more the fact that I have become a part of it. Instead of watching a TV series while checking your sns on the phone and drinking a cup of tea, I should do things one by one. When was the last time I truly appreciated the moment while I was doing something? You should think about that too, I think.
