20.04：Welcome cherry-blossoms, unwelcome coronas

Ghost Town

It has been like watching a movie or drama.  In San-Marco Plaza in Venice, Times-Square in New York, street-cafes in Paris; these scenes, with nobody there, are so scary.

The news of covid-19 is really shocking and has shown us an awful world.
Needless to say, those three spaces are famous spots where many people from all over the world come to visit, and they offer a charming city atmosphere.

Basically, a city without people is full of contradictions.
First, in nature, a man finds some good place to live and start his own life.  It is quiet and not disturbed by others, but gradually, new people come around there, and they make a more energetic town where many people and objects come and go, and It will be called city.

Indeed, the place where people gather is the city, and we have been making facilities, aside from houses, to keep us together with common rules.

Some towns, mining areas for example, were born out of a certain industry, but as a result, over time, people leave, the city dies, and it is left as ruins.

While this virus confusion was going on, the day of 3.11 came around again, and I thought: the cause of this was not from something beyond our control, but rather from the immatureness of our commonsense and manners as a global people.  We are really connected on this earth.
