After finishing one large project, we had a dinner after work to resolve the remorse of our hardships. When I entered a drink, I laughed, shed snow, and reconciled while confessing the episodes of the past. After such a fun time, I am about to end my seat, but the manager asks me to fight for revenge. I was willing to'call'.
People to go go and 4 people, including me, headed to the pool room. That member who played billiards before. We decided to play the same person on one side as before. Before the game started, I suggested that I would have to reduce the number of Tama to each other based on my skills last time. But my colleagues refused my words. At that time, I was hitting it for too long, so my skills didn't come out, so just do it. I had no choice but to accept it, but I joked, "I'll hit it endlessly."
I started the game by hitting the first pitch. I couldn't hit it. I didn't collect the ball, but my opponent, the manager, hit 3 points. Then A, on my side, started checking the horses. B, who is on the other hand with the manager, talks a word because he scratches his nerves with a blah blah blah. "Don't do that. Billiards is a royalty sport. Let's not do it like a bad guy." I asked this question with doubts. "Is billiards a game that the public enjoys?" Then he showed off his knowledge of the history of billiards to me every time he waited for each other's turn. In summary, it looks like this.
Billiards are said to have originated in Greece around 400 BC, but the exact thing is unknown. Anyway, the development of billiards as a sport today is said to have gradually established itself as a court sport after the king enjoyed playing billiards in France around 1570 and his lieutenants continued to study. In Korea, it is said that Sunjong, the last king of Joseon in 1915, imported a billiard table from Japan and enjoyed it with the ministers in Changdeokgung Palace.
I thought,'It's really a royalty sport that the king of France and the king of Korea played billiards. I was satisfied intellectually to learn new facts, but it was harder mentally. It's been because 50 minutes passed, but they couldn't even hit each other's so-called Aldama. Then, my dissatisfaction with my side A was piled up, and in the end he said dislikes. "No, why are you hitting so hard. I can't control my power that way." Then A said, "That billiard ball looks like the guy who constantly harassed us business. So it keeps getting tired without knowing. I have to smash it." We laughed at these words and cheered for them to hit harder. In a book I had read one day, it came to mind that the human relationship in modern society was compared to a billiard ball.
This is also the relationship we have. It can be said that it is a life in which you cannot meet the inner person and simply pass by. Everyone lives with only the surface. I sometimes describe human relations in capitalist society as'the meeting of billiard balls and billiard balls'. It is a short meeting and a meeting at one point. It is a difficult meeting to say. It is a bump.

I couldn't concentrate on the game and thought about something different for a while, so I couldn't play my part. It was only half the amount I had to hit. A struggled without even condemning me, my boss. Sorry, he woke up and focused on the game, but opponent B really didn't give the ball. So it's always futile. But what is this? It was my turn and the ball gathered. Very pretty. Then the manager criticizes B, who is on the same side, as a joke. "Hey. You know how to work. Keep doing that." I grinned, saying, "Now, you've gotten your mind. You should behave well."
After an hour and a half passed and play became a labor, we were tired of each other and began to complain. Still, when it comes to my turn, I hit it with concentration. After all, everyone doesn't want to lose the game. Again, it's my turn. At the corner of the pool table, two red balls are placed side by side with an interval of about 45 centimeters. This is a ball. But I was staggering because I didn't know how to calculate the angle well, and at this point A told me to shoot here. I tried to get rid of the greed of surely winning and go back to the beginning. With my tense hand, I held the cue well and focused my nerves and hit the ball. The white ball ran like a squirrel, hit the wall three times, and a red ball. Then the white ball didn't go the way I thought it would, but it hit the wall once more and hit another red ball exactly. Yay~ Finally, it was over in almost two hours. It's victory.
Billiards have been having fun lately. Why? Perhaps most of the office workers, including myself, work because their lives are too obvious, overly pretended, and fully secured, while billiards is in contrast to this. Like any other sport, billiards can't predict who will win, and they can enjoy bullshit and chatter without hesitation while disarming, and they can relax or cool down the conversation as if a catfish is released in a school of fish.
Therefore, it is compelling to praise billiards, which can enjoy a sense of freedom and the pleasure of a game for a while without costing a lot of money for office workers like us who live a dry life. Nowadays, when boring days continue, I recommend a billiard game that I enjoyed when I was young.
