29歳の女性が深夜、28歳の男性が運転する車の犠牲になったそうだ。
翌朝、出勤のときに通りがかったら、警察の現場検証が物々しく行われていた。
おそらく遺体があったであろうとおぼしきところからかなり離れたところにまで、所持品か何かが散乱していたのか、その何かが「あった」ことを示す黒いフダが置かれていて、相当ひどい状況だったことを物語っていた。
犯人は後日、警察へ自首し、現場の道端には事件解決（犯人検挙）を知らせる立て看板が置かれ、たくさんの花が手向けられた。
仕事が忙しい時期で、気分的にも少々ダウン気味だったので、これには少なからずショックを受けた。
改めて、人は簡単に死んでしまうのだということを思い出した。
誰しも明日に死ぬ可能性は否定できない。・・・当たり前すぎて、そして今さらすぎる。
何かを継続している人は、すごい、すばらしいと思う。
どんなに小さな趣味でも、10年も続けたらその価値は測り知れない。
とりあえず生れ落ちて33年少々生きているということ以外に飽きずに続けているものがない自分に、最近仕事で知り合った人達はまぶしく見える。
きちんきちんと勉強を重ね、英語と中国語とマレー語が話せるという人（現在ヒンディー語を習得中）。
音楽が好きで、現在進行形でライブ情報を集め、足しげく通い、常に音楽の情報をインプットしている人。
仕事の上で無視できない法令改正をいち早く察知し続け、研鑽に勤しむ人。
40代50代になっても100km走やトライアスロンに挑戦しつづける人。
継続することは、命が有限であるからこそ、とても尊いものだと思う。
ということを、最近真剣に考えていた。
ちょっと疲れているのかもしれない。
とりあえず、ランニングを再開してペースアップしないと。シーズンに間に合わなくなってしまう。
あと、英語もだな。

Keep something going
Recently, about 3 weeks ago, there was a hit-and-run accident in my neighborhood.
A 29-year-old woman got run-over by the car which a 28-year-old man drove late at night. Drunk? I don't know. Newspapers never mentioned.
The next morning, in the course of getting to the nearest station to go to work, I found many policemen were making an on-the spot inspection and then I learned about the accident.
It seemed like it was a tragic accident because the sign of evidences (which we could see in the TV, especially in the NEWS or Drama) were scattered around in a large area.
Few days later, the driver came up at the police station.
A lot of flowers were laid by neighbors near the accident site.
I suppose someone is keeping the flowers, so I can see them even today.
I was deeply shocked by this accident.
I had been busy and tired at that moment, so it was even worse for my mind.
I thought anew how people could die easily.
"Everyone may die tomorrow", even that phrase might be a cliche.
By the way, I admire the people who continue anything.
Hobby, sports, jobs, familly matters, whatever.
Even if that is small thing, it may have enormous value later, and nobody can't deny the posibility.
I don't have anything continued except being alive 33 years, so my recent colleagues look shining to me.
One of them keeps studying 2 to 3 foreign languages, another one keeps listening and collecting music, and another one keeps surveying the laws relateing to accounting.
One of my senior friend keeps challenging to finish 100km running race, another senior one keeps challenging to run the iron man race.
I think keeping something going is precious because lifetime is limited.
As I wrote I was a little busy and tired, so I had been haunted by this kind of negative idea.

Maybe I had been stressed badly these days.
For instance, It seems to be bettet for me to restart jogging.
The marathon season is coming.
