"The superficial modernization and the soullessness of the Japanese" -part 4 final

Last time[link]
To tell the truth, each ideology can not have ability of causing today's situation alone.
"Kousi(孔子)", he is progenitor of Jukyou, didn't tell anything about "chuu kou tei" like I told in my description.
His successors emphasised "chuu kou tei".
Original Jukyou thought is based on "Jin" in the first place.
"Jin" is consideration for others, or empathy with others.
Kousi also said about Chuu.
But he only told about way of some relationship of mutual trust based on humanity.
But his readers, they often were lord of feudalism, be interested only in how to make their retainers be under of master's control.
And then Kousi's original message wasn't transmitted to the lords and who wanted to get the job under the lords.
Kousi had been unemployment for long time in his life.
It is Kanpisi who dealt how to control retainers by tricks.
Kanpisi is originally the name of a person.
He was a pupil of "Junsi"(荀子) who is a successor of Kousi.
But Kanpisi get far position of thought from Kousi's one.
He told about control with tricks positively.
Lords, who wanted to make their retainers be under of master's control, utilized Jukyou as patch to complete feudalism system.
It made Jukyou be the system training to get people obedience.

But...
If someone take a rule as the person have themselves under its, can it be allowed that the someone take another rule to get advantage ?
It is a immorality !
But the immorality has been denounced until today.


Thought of "Dou-ka" was also right at ancient times in China.
Because there ware many countries to escape.
So "escape from tyrannies" is reasonable at that time.
But since "Sin"(秦) emerged as the first unified kingdom in China, there had been no place for people to escape.
Then the escaping thought had been useless.
If we made the thought of "Dou-ka" be effective, we have to bring up the prerequisite of ability to escape.
It is keeping a diversity of countries.
In short, we can escape from some tyranny only when we have keep a world with liberalism.

And "Rousi"(老子),he is said the founder of "Dou-ka", said that it is important for any countries to have military power.
He didn't only recommend to escape.
He knew that people had to fight for keeping the liberty.
These prerequisite haven't been asked until today too.


In this way, the Eastern Asian people, like Japanese, have swallowed everything without considering some meaning of inconsistency and some problem of prerequisite.
The Eastern Asian people were good at "Don't think" and accepting "let it be" flexibly.
But this receptivity just keep today's intolerance for liberalism.
I guess that not only Japan comes under this character.
The other Eastern Asian countries may have same character.
It must be felt suffocated for the minority in those countries who know correct meaning of liberality.

The Japanese people get empathy for government or dictators without anyone's order.
Although people are not any position in members of the government.
This mind is just the problem.
This attitude is called "Kuuki wo yomu"(空気を読む).
This word meaning is following the atmosphere at some moment without distinguishing right from wrong.
Everyone only mind the atmosphere.
Almost all the Japanese educations are done for getting this attitude and forgetting distinguishing right from wrong.
You may not believe my saying.
The education usually is done for getting correct knowledge for distinguishing right from wrong.
But it is the truth in Japan.
Members of National Diet also don't discuss for anything. All their opinions have already decided in under ground. Discussion in an assembly hall is only overacting by hams. In fact, there is only the  atmosphere.

I hope my explanation lets you get a reasonable answer for some Japanese speeches and behaviors that you have not be able to understand before.
And I wish the understanding has you throw away a impression that the Eastern Asian people are only chickens or only irrational by nature.

I guess you know that the Japanese people are much different from the citizens of the Western civilization like your country.
In Japan, there is no self‐purification by the people.
However I don't give up all hope to change the system in our country.
I think the people living in other countries will play the important role on the Japanese future.
