If a scorching hot day with a maximum temperature of over 35°C were to be accompanied by a major earthquake, a huge tsunami, and a typhoon, it would be quite a spectacle. That's possible in the Japanese summer. Oh, and to add to that, there's also the possibility of drought due to lack of rain, rising vegetable prices, and concerns about poor rice harvests.
I think it was a few days ago that a major earthquake occurred between Australia and Antarctica. I was thinking that if that earthquake caused a tsunami, the ice shelf in Antarctica would break up and create a huge number of icebergs.
And today there's a major earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula, and a tsunami is heading toward Japan. It's another scorching hot day, and people in coastal areas are fleeing to higher ground under the scorching sun. They'll probably have to wait there for several hours.
It's not just natural phenomena, but when you look at the world as a whole, it seems like incidents, accidents, conflicts, and wars are occurring more frequently. I can't help but wonder if this is the result of the media working too hard, or if, as someone said, it's because the Earth is traveling through dangerous territory. Is our solar system traveling through such an ominous galactic region? I can't help but think that the root cause of both the unrest in nature and the unrest in people's hearts is that we are traveling through such a region.
This idea is quite occult. It could make a good subject for a movie.
For example, let's say that there are several such regions in our galaxy, extending radially from the center of the galaxy. Over a long period of time, our solar system would enter and exit these belts, crossing between them. This could lead to various events happening to the planets in our solar system within these regions. It's tempting to think that areas with a high concentration of cosmic rays raining down on Earth would have a major impact on Earth's life and crust. This could cause an explosion in biodiversity or a mass extinction, and traces of this could actually be left behind in geological layers and fossils.
If such a "stimulus" existed, and if this "stimulus" has promoted evolution and diversity on Earth, then it would be because the universe has a reason for its existence.
It is said that in the beginning God said, "Let there be light," but I think (forgive me for not being a Christian) that he probably just said, "Be!" That is perhaps the fundamental principle of the universe, or rather, of this world, including the universe. "Something exists because it is."
From this, we can deduce the existence of "a different thing." It is because they are different that we can distinguish their existence. If they were the same, we would not be able to distinguish them. It's like floating in a thick homogeneous soup. Even our consciousness could not be feel within it. To know that "something exists," we need something that is "non-existent." That might be "non-existence" or "Existence No. 2." In any case, a "different" "exists." This automatically creates a boundary that distinguishes "something" from "different." This is called "differentness." It points to "differentness" and guarantees "existence." Therefore, "differentness" is necessary for something to "exist." That "differentness" is precisely what "value" is.
Simply put, a person's true essence is contained in their facial features, the clothing they wear, and even the brand of their watch. It's like Charlie Brown, the main character in the Peanuts comic strip. His differences make everyone else around him stand out from him.
For the universe to "exist" means that it contains "differentness." I believe that enriching these "differentness" is what it means to be "diverse." The purpose of these "differentness" is clear: to continue to "exist." Ideally, forever.
