No more Militarism

If we turn the back on politics, nothing will change for the better. I really hope politicians won't revive Militarism.

Have you ever heard about a small island called Ookuno (大久野）or Okuno? which is located in Hiroshima（広島）, had produced poison gas for World War Ⅱ.

In 1929, 6000 people were taken to the island. They didn't know what they would do; just they came to get work for a living. It wasn't long before they noticed that they had been deceived.

Their colleagues died in 3 minutes after making a careless mistake. Even so, they couldn't obtain a permit to get out of this island and in addition, they had to keep this job a secret from their families.
(According to 2005 press release, 3535 people have been suffering the aftereffects.)

In 1944, the military authorities stopped producing poison gas to suppress evidence. In other words, they already foresaw defeat 1 year before World War Ⅱ. However, ordinary people were killed like vermin until 1945.

Contemporary history doesn't have to do with the National Center Test for University Admissions. That's why Japanese students don't learn in earnest. Many teachers are reluctant to teach real history. Probably every country has the same problem more or less.

Fortunately, some elderly people began to speak their mind to us, younger generations. Most important, their war doesn't finish yet.

After war, elderly people worked just for living. Most of them had no leisure to appreciate the arts. Ils me semblaient avoir à demi perdu qualité humaine.

Now in Japan, nearly 100 people commit suicides every day, over 30,000 per year. Real number must be much more. Death from overwork is famous for "Karoshi". Many people work overtime without pay under industrial imperialism.

On one hand, people living in Japan are victims; on the other, Japan participates (participated) in X war. I've no doubt that I am a criminal. I'm responsible for these things, so I won't turn the back on politics.

When our houses are burning, one of our families (To me family means all animate beings) goes to set other houses on the fire to obey the command. How can we stop this vicious circle?

I believe in this quote. "Vengeance belongs only to God."

Chief Seattle says, "The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected."
