Things that leverage life experiences

What adds leverage to the enjoyment/happiness of the experiences in life?

• It would be great to find something that, by simply adding one simple element, can bring about a change in the overall experience of life and increase its enjoyment.

  • (Different from things like money or the number of friends, where enjoyment increases gradually as the numbers increase)

• Things I think are like that:

  • The Mist of the World
    • This is it.
    • It’s an example of what I want to say on this page, where actions are transformed and become enjoyable through a simple mechanism.
  • Scrapbox
  • Camera hobby, I feel like that.
    • It seems like it would be enjoyable to have an increased perspective on the everyday world.
      • A sense of having one more interesting eye/perspective?
  • In the same vein, Haiku seems to have the same kind of enjoyment.
    • Just like having a camera makes you want to search for subjects, doing haiku makes everyday life become a search for subjects. I always explain it like that. (rickshinmi)

• Cultivation? (tkgshn)

  • aka Language?
    • Certainly. (blu3mo)
  • In the end, the camera is also a part of the perspective. It can capture that moment because there is a context of past experiences that the self has gone through, allowing a part to be captured.
  • It’s sad to see camera enthusiasts with expensive Sony cameras taking mundane photos.
    • There is enjoyment in taking mundane photos, but it doesn’t seem to bring about a change in the overall experience of life. (blu3mo)
      • It’s a different element for doing art.
      • That’s what we call “sense.”
        • Let’s become children of sense.
      • In this case, the camera enthusiast seems to keenly perceive the gadget aspect in the photos. It’s a different way of looking. (はるひ)
    • Cartier-Bresson, Saul Leiter, they’re interesting.
      • I really like Saul Leiter. (はるひ)
        • He’s currently having an exhibition in Tokyo (summer 2023) and I’m interested… Saul Leiter exhibition to be held this summer at Shibuya Hikarie. Over 400 works, including newly discovered ones, will be exhibited. | Bijutsu Techo

• It’s fun to weave contexts together.

  • Trying out various things and finding commonalities.

  • Structuralism

    • I really felt that from taste.

  • It’s impossible to draw a linear line, right?

    • It has to be done with exponential functions.
    • In that sense, having multiple hobbies might be the best way to live.
