The movie is about how lonely a person lives as an artist through his life.
It was an interesting movie. But that's not what I'm going to tell you here.
The movie title of "Achilles and tortoise" is from Zeno's paradoxes.
There is a distance between Achilles and tortoise.
Tortoise sits ahead of Achilles.
Achilles moves faster than tortoise.
They started to move to the same direction.
Achilles will catch tortoise in a certain time because their distance will be less and less upon time goes.
But in a theory of limit, Achilles never catches the tortoise.
Achilles and Tortoise started at the same time.
Achilles moves in a certain time and tortoise moves same amount of time.
(Achilles' move > Tortoise' move)
Achilles moves again and tortoise moves too.
In math, the Achilles' velocity is set as "v" and tortoise is "vr" (0 < r < 1).
Tortoise is "L" (distance) ahead of Achilles.
Achilles------------L-------------Tortoise---moving to this direction-->
Then, to reach to Tortoise' original position, it will take Achilles L /v (time).
At the same time, tortoise moves to ahead vr * L/v = rL (distance).
To reach to next tortoise's position, it will take Achilles rL/v(time).
At the same time, tortoise moves to further position ahead rL/v * vr = (r^2)L.
This calculation will goes as follows
(An expression is from Wikipedia)
If this addition goes forever, Achilles never catch tortoise.
.........it's paradox!
There is still lots controversy of this problem but the current conclusion is
"Addition will limit, not forever."
So by the limit, it will get a certain amount of time and that's the time when Achilles catch tortoise.
Do you get confused?
I'm sorry but that's not what I want to tell you here.
I want to tell you the fact that WE KNOW "Nothing goes forever", specifically "TIME".
WE KNOW the fact that time is limited for life.
We can experience "forever" if we don't know the fact until the moment when you face someone's death.
We know the limit of life by being taught by someone's death.
If we never experience that, how come we know there is a limit in time?
There is one case for the people who never know that.
There happened very sad accident in Japan just couple of days ago.
Young mom left her 2 kids (just being 1 and 3 old babies...)
in the room and let them starved to death.
Japan has one of the highest secured food system in the world.
How come did this accident happened? I couldn't believe....
The young mom just got divorced and could not get financial assistance too.
It's her tumbling down in life. Everyone can get disappointed.
Nobody knows what happened to her until police disclosure
but she left kids and started to hang out with her friends while she left her kids in the room.
She was also being addicted to a club....and it happened.
I was wondering if she imagined what will happen to her kids
if she left them such a long time without any care?
I could partially understand how she was miserable at that time
with her troubles.
But any imagination never cross her mind on how her kids feel like?
I still partially remember that when my mom is left me in a house couple of hours for her work.
I felt so lonely and felt like almost a day until she's back
because I didn't the concept of "time" at that time.
2 kids were under same situation. They don't know how long it goes.....They felt like it's forever.....They don't know when their mom is back.....They were just waiting for their mom and feel hungry.
They could not escape from the room because the door is taped by their mom.
They must feel hunger and lonely forever.
They didn't realize if they're dying.
They're just waiting for their mom.
Even in the developed country, this accident happened.
It's in Japan..in Osaka..2nd largest city in Japan....such a big city and starve to death.....
What was wrong with Japanese system to assist her and her kids?
The article says child consultation officer visited the room 3 times in front of the door
but they didn't break into the room to save the kids.
There is a problem to save kids because of exercising parental authority.
Police cannot take any action without the agreement from parental authority.
Child consultation officer can take off the rights but kid's parent will get them back.
Some adult kids even try to hide the abuse to protect their parent.
What can we do for this social problem?
I have one idea and it's already implemented actually.
Some NPO and NGO setup a place to interact young moms meetings
to share their experience of child care. I found many social services
to get advised from child care consultant in Osaka by Googling.
It's public service too so everyone can take the service.
Then, why didn't she get these help?
That's the only point I cannot understand her.....
From her diary left in her SNS space and blogs.
She's really caring her kids though.....
