Limits That Rule Our Life



Last night I watched a documentary about dolphin hunting in Japan. The main guy in the film was a former dolphin trainer. He worked in Flipper for ten years and he wasn't aware that he was holding another creature captive. He just cared about how much money he made and what assets he had. 35 years after that, now, the is the most passionate Dolphin rescuer. While I was watching the movie, the one thing that I analyzed about this man was the sadness of the years that he couldn't take back. And that will never go away. Once you develop a certain survival way through life and you get comfortable in it, you keep on going in spite of all the alerts that come to you. And years after that, when it becomes unbearable, you have no choice but to go back. It's the exact story of the airplanes that can't go back after crossing the middle of the ocean, because fuel isn't enough, you can only go forward. Now I should ask myself, and you of course, who would want to become that way?

Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be.

analog makine ile dijital makine arasındaki fark gibi. artık kimse uğraşmak istemiyor, daha kolayı varken daha iyiden uzak kalmayı göze alabiliyorlar.

Ben ikisinin denk olacak özellikleri olduğunu düşünüyorum. Ama daha kolayının tercih edilmesi ayrı bir konu, teknik açıdan düşününce pratiklik iş açısından faydalı ama kendin için birşeyler yaparken analog makinala çekmek kesinlikle çok zevkli.
Felsefi açıdan dediğine kesinlikle katılıyorum, daha zor her zaman daha güzeldir.
