The death of one person is heavy, but it's not as heavy as removing a military regime. Do Japanese government declare war with a view to protecting other Japanese nationals? They will only keep on blaming the use of force as a way to suppress demonstration at best.

Britain and America take a hard stance against military regime and try to accuse them in Security Council in Unite Nations. But still China and Russia are reluctant to do so. The attitudes of Superpowers are not the same and that allows the regime to keep on holding powers.

Burma was one of the main battlefields in World War II. I cannot blame anyone one-sided for the killing of one Japanese national. Some people visit a very dangerous spot like a war front and a moment of uprising in hope of his sacrifice makes the world awake.

bugsey saidi am glad that there are a few bloggers like you who blog about the situation in burma Because one Japanese was dead. It was even amazing for us to be able to eyewitness the very moment of his being shot from the very near position. He was just 50 years old. Sometimes we loose very useful people overseas. But I don't blame anyone. It was his decision to be at the spot.

I started learning English at age 21 with fullest swing under the premise of complete denial of Japanese language. As you noticed Japanese language is too complicated and I thought there's no universal value and still I think so.I learned English as if I were a mad person. For example I kept on listening to English broadcasting 24 hours 6 months at around age 23.It was only because she was Japanese the reason I was unable to get married to my legendary woman. She engaged in Tokyo and I left for America. When we were both in 4th grade in University. It was my saddest moment in my life.

eglamkowski said の is incredibly ubiquitous in Japanese writing How strange I can find one of the most common Japanese postpositions!But originally の[no] is a abbreviate form of Chinese characters 乃 [shi]. Likewise all Japanese proper characters are derived directly from Chinese characters. あ[a] is from 安[an], い[i] is from 以[i], etc. etc.. Usually Chinese characters have several pronunciations. On the other hands, Japanese characters only stand for one phonetic sound :D

It's only Taiwanese that use original form of very complicated Chinese characters. China and Japan, both use simplified characters but in different forms. But basically it's not difficult for all East Asian to guess the meaning of anyway Chinese characters. As you say pronunciation is very different. But when it comes to especially business transactions, they claim that it's not difficult :P

Militarism & Democracy
Japanese photo journalist Kenji Nagai was shot dead by Burmese security forces in Rangoon. He was one of few people who were shot dead at demonstration. Probably he was shot because he carried a camera, taking some pictures. It is bad to gun unarmed people. It is worse to gun a photo journalist who tried to take pictures of them.
China and Russia still support the military regime in Burma. Other democratic nations support democratic movement. Peaceful demonstration is not a bad thing, but it often leads to revolution. That's why military regime suppress the demonstrator.
I must reminds you that basically state power established under the strong influence of armed forces. Japan was so, many other nations were also so. It is only a couple of decade ago that the democracy became most important in politics.

Your article reminds me of an economic aspect of war. Many people lose their job after the economic depression, and the war was the best way to absorb those who were out of work. For example after the Great Depression in 1929, Black Monday in 1987. Big wars followed respectively thereafter .

I have two girl friends. One is one year older than I and the other is one year younger than I. For those who don't feel distinction among 47, 46, 45, this blog entry is irrelevant. But that matters a lot especially to me.
A woman one year older than I is kinder, nicer, more dedicated, more self-restraint, more sacrificial. She takes care of me more than I can expect her to do.
On the other hand, a woman one year younger than I is meaner, less dedicated, more selfish, more capricious, less sacrificial to me. She takes care of herself before she does something for my sake.
I love senior woman. We are all old and among older ones I choose oldest.

Amazingly enough, it's true.Both women have many similarities. Both got married at their age 20, had three kids. The youngest kid was 18 and 21.

Probably younger ones tend to behave like a spoiled child when she is with older one like me. But I am also an unstable person, so for me it's much better to be with a woman who is senior to me for she knows how to deal with a spoiled child.

Thanks for your encouragement. Actually my feeling right now is sour grapes. I think she's less educated but extremely well experienced. For those who started actual relationship over 30 year old, she is too heavy to deal with. But I try, try, try until she said yes. I took her to her condominium but I didn't ask her to let me in. I enter her room only after she ask me to come. Otherwise my pride cannot tolerate myself.

Marriage is a very strange system. Basically this system exists to regulate how to devide his wealth, property. I don't raise any question if marriage works perfectly for both genders who always live together, share together, and of course love together. There's no more miserable marriage than the marriage just on paper, that doesn't share anything but kids.

But the expectation to have date at night kept me conscious a lot to myself during the day yesterday. I feel rejuvenated thanks to that. That's why I call love a vitamin L.

I have two girl friends. One is one year older than I and the other is one year younger than I. For those who don't feel distinction among 47, 46, 45, this blog entry is irrelevant. But that matters a lot especially to me.
A woman one year older than I is kinder, nicer, more dedicated, more self-restraint, more sacrificial. She took care of me more than I can expect her to do.
On the other hand, a woman one year younger than I is meaner, less dedicated, more selfish, more capricious, less sacrificial to me. She takes care of herself before she does something for my sake.
I love senior woman. We are all old and among older ones I choose oldest.

Friendship Visit
Sep 23, '07 10:16 PMfor everyone
Ah my friend dropped in at the last moment before leaving Japan. Temporarily he was in Osaka for about a month.
He's leaving Japan for the Philippines for good. Of course it's gonna be very difficult for both of us to see one another.
But I was very lucky for he visited us. He's leaving Japan from Osaka on 25nd of September.
Nice friend makes our pleasure double and our sadness a half.
Anyway, see you on line. By the way, I became old.

eglamkowski saidSo what is crime really? We have the term 'state crime', but we usually don't say 'crime' if the crimes were sponsored by the state. Only after the state was demolished by war, etc., someone who pursued merely state order is likely to be indicted as criminals. War crime is a very good example.
We see prostitution amongst the great apes.

eglamkowski said"Not seeing someone allows us to imagine in them every perfection." This is indeed an interesting psychological action. Someone in his absence only exists in our mind, so I think we miss the state of mind when someone was useful for us in his presence, not someone himself who did the bad things too!Or if it went too far to say so?

Of course I have this sign, but since this sign is used to make html code, the sign disappears when previewed. :)
Most modern doors open from one side or the other.
I raised this question because often foreigners here can't understand which sign means what. Of course it has no problem if they found 'open' and 'close' or ideograms for those foreigners who learned Chinese characters can easily understand which is what.
My insist is that it's very inappropriate for elevator makers to indicate only such self righteous signs only they can understand. Any signs have no universal meaning.
Whatever the type of elevator it might be, I think it is sufficient enough for them to put down simply push this button to open or close. But sure most modern doors decrease the possibility of crush accident. We often encounter someone trying to rush into the room are subject to crush when someone inside push close button in haste.

Liquor & Love

I found an interesting phrase while I was walking downtown on the street. The name of the restaurant was ' Those who only use their jaw' which means 'talker restlessly without serious thinking'.
Liquor gives us freedom Love robs freedom of us.Virtually no meaning at all, though I admit it's an intersting expression.

Hostess & a writer
Sep 21, '07 11:09 PMfor everyone
Last night I took two pictures of her in a food stall called yatai. The third picture was taken 3 years and 4 months ago in Karaoke bar .
Actually I met her for the first time in 3 year 4 month.
I got different impression from 3 years ago. 3 years ago she was just like a young mischievous girl. But the one last night I saw was just a very graceful lady.
I proposed her to go out with me under the premier of marriage. She accepted and our relationship started.
She is a hostess in Nakasu, a nationally famous red district. She's 45 year old.
The one beside her is a strange person according to her.

If someone killed their parents, whatever the direct reason might be -it might be an inevitable counter attack to child abuse, this is a result of their mental illness. They are insane, out of their mind. Or are the kids not real children of parents? Adopted or something?I'm afraid your claim poor people commit crimes under influence is not to the point. The reason they had to be addicted must have been because they are out of job, etc. I mean because of their poverty. I think poverty must be the first cause why the poor had to commit crimes. My claim is based on my close observation to lots of criminal court cases.

I think so but there are many cases of someone who knew some others on line and met, had date, got married, etc. The possibility is much higher if the case was within your city or country. For example here in Japan we have a regular party once a year among bloggers. But the case is less likely if we live different region, country.

There are many big enough matters around us. Today's world, land ownership is something that is completely taken for granted. But I must say this is the beginning of the very dangerous currents toward the ownership of lots of public property in future.Someone start claiming they own 'time' and they start selling time to those who not have time. Otherwise others are killed.Someone start claiming they own 'air' and they start selling air to those who not have air. Otherwise others are choked. Someone start claiming they own 'sunshine' and they start selling sunshine to those who not have sunshine. Otherwise others are put in building. Someone start claiming they own 'water' and start selling water to those who not have water. Otherwise others are dehydrated. It's only fortunate for us that few noticed such possibilities.

It is acceptable that the lawyers emphasise how miserable the life of his clients is, but it is very questionable that lawyers raise the possibility of the lack of mental capability in his clients when no other alternatives of defense have gone.

It is completely your freedom to start loving someone on the net. However I must remind you that the image on the net and the real figure in our daily life are not the same or often very different.
For example, I. I am very different from image on the net and reality. I understand the image on the net is a character I deliberately made.
I haven't revealed my real name, profession, or other personal information.
I think my real figure is, whether you believe or not, much more miserable than 'mercedo'.

Land ownership and the concept of figures Sep 19, '07 3:39 AM
for everyone
For those who take it for granted that the land they live belong to no one, it would not be acceptable for them the idea of land ownership.
They would have gladly accept three thalers in exchange for the land they live and see in front of them. For them three means simply a lot and the land means just nothing.
They didn't expect themselves to be expelled from the land after exchange was made.

Marriage & religion
Sep 14, '07 1:04 AMfor everyone
In some religion a believer has to find a spouse in the same believers. That makes easier to find a spouse. But once they got married they have to keep on follow the same way of life according to the religion. If one abandoned the belief, the two has to separate.
It seems true marriage lies in different place than religion.

That's a good trend I assume. Religion merely regulates how people believe in their inner world. This inner world oughtn't regulate our outer very important social frame, that is marriage in form. But in fact virtually it's very hard to find a believer of any faith in Japan so my Japanese girlfriends were non believers. On the other hands my foreign girlfriends were Christians. Those distinctions had no meaning at all on our love.

I don't suppose religion matters much as long as you don't have children. Then it does, unless the parents can agree on teaching them both religions - or one and none - and letting the children choose for themselves. Many religious people will agree to no such thing. I don't think such a conflict makes a happy family.

Like some want to hold marriage ceremony either in Christian or Shintoist's. Funeral ceremony in Christian or Buddhist's. Many years ago I went to Catholic church a couple of times with a Philippina girlfriend. It was Ok to attend the service just a couple of times, though, it was just unimaginable for a complete secular person to keep on attending the church service every Sunday. As to the case of kid..about ten years ago I met a Danish woman who came to learn Japanese language at the university. She told me her trouble in the past when she was a kid. That is her father who wants her to learn in Protestant school and her mother in Catholic. Personally I am opposed to any particular religious education. Kid's minds are tabula rasa, easily dyed in a specific idea. It is only acceptable when they taught only universal moral value, not any particular teachings of their religion.

I mean, I'd teach a child anything from Greek mythology to Catholicism, always emphasizing that this is what SOME people believe or believed and that it's up to the child to choose his/her beliefs after he/she has studied the subject - or believe a bit from this and a bit from that (rather what I do) or none of it. It's a purely personal choice.Imagine the clash I'd have if my children's father were a firm believer in a specific religion? Er - there are no Protestant schools in Denmark. There are the state schools that are completely secular since 1960 or thereabouts - probably what the father preferred - and then a few private schools, some of which are Catholic.

Someone who asks what he was asked
Sep 18, '07 2:21 AMfor everyone
Recently I noticed some politician never express his idea. Instead of replying directly, he asks his interviewers what he was asked by them like 'How do you think about that?
Then we have to reply to our questions. We are always perplexed by his ridiculous counter-question.
We were not supposed to ask those who ask back. They are not deserved to be authorities. Small fish never be able to reply, what they can do is just 'ask'.
But he is a politician, that is a problem.

ullangoo saidI don't suppose religion matters much as long as you don't have children.
Indeed difference in religion matters a lot in married couples. Like some want to hold marriage ceremony either in Christian or Shintoist's. Funeral ceremony in Christian or Buddhist's. Many years ago I went to Catholic church a couple of times with a Philippina girlfriend. It was Ok to attend the service just a couple of times, though, it was just unimaginable for a complete secular person to keep on attending the church service every Sunday. As to the case of kid..about ten years ago I met a Danish woman who came to learn Japanese language at the university. She told me her trouble in the past when she was a kid. That is her father who wants her to learn in Protestant school and her mother in Catholic. Personally I am opposed to any particular religious education. Kid's minds are tabula rasa, easily dyed in a specific idea. It is only acceptable when they taught only universal moral value, not any particular teachings of their religion.

ullangoo saidSome PEOPLE get cynical, sarcastic etc. when they grow older; it's not confined to women
I was very hubristic when I was a kid. It was only after my 34 or 5 years old when I started learning how to adjust to society. Now I became a very moderate agreeable person. Generally speaking people become moderate and agreeable as they get older. Some might get sarcastic or cynical if they kept on bachelor or spinster, or failed to have kids, or failed to have a respectable job.

That's a good trend I assume. Religion merely regulates how people believe in their inner world. This inner world oughtn't regulate our outer very important social frame, that is marriage in form. But in fact virtually it's very hard to find a believer of any faith in Japan so my Japanese girlfriends were non believers. On the other hands my foreign girlfriends were Christians. Those distinctions had no meaning at all on our love

Marriage & religion
Sep 14, '07 1:04 AMfor everyone
In some religion a believer has to find a spouse in the same believers. That makes easier to find a spouse. But once they got married they have to keep on follow the same way of life according to the religion. If one abandoned the belief, the two has to separate.
It seems true marriage lies in different place than religion.

Son of man
Sep 14, '07 12:06 AMfor everyone
Jesus... he was a son of Josef and Mary so naturally he was a son of man. And he described himself as a son of man many times, he didn't say he is a son of God even one time. If I remember correctly he was asked by Pilate whether he is a son of God, he said just 'as you said so' . This is a form of negation.Christianity was started by people who believed Jesus is a son of God. At that time the title son of God was used to refer to Octavianus, Emperor of Rome.Actually a son of God is as good as the alternate name for king.
But if you think the title son of man is a humble expression, you are misled.
Is any ordinary person claim on purpose he is a son of man?
What Jesus wanted to connote was that he was originally a son of God but he was born from human parents.
Thus a son of man is more glorious than a son of God in meaning.

The use of the term 'overwhelming' in monotheistic religion is apparently too far. Probably Judaism is more monotheistic than Christianity since some Christian believe Jesus is God. Many religions are henotheistic -nominally monotheistic but in reality polytheistic.

One of uncivilised people used to count the number as 1, 2, many. For them three and one hundred didn't make difference. They would have agreed to exchange three silver coins and almost unlimited land.
We ordinary people grasp the numbers of one to nine in each different figures. But one genius can grasp the number in each different shapes, and he can calculate answer by multiplication done by their shapes. So he can automatically calculate like 78623 X 1984778 by forming two figures together.

Literal translation doesn't work.
English term 'Good morning' is literally means 'yoi -good, asa -morning'But nobody here understand if someone say 'yoi asa', which literally means 'good morning'
Instead we use the term 'Ohayo' which literally means 'It's early'But nobody in America would understand if one of them said 'It's early' instead of saying 'Good morning'
Translation requires meaning to meaning, not word to word.
I feel it's derisive when someone insist some translation is accurate because it's word to word.

Asashoryu is a Mongolian Sumo wrestler who got a highest title.
He was absent from one trivial series and Sumo association accused him of not attending the series, prohibiting his playing two important series.
He was reported as mentally ill, and this is said to be the absence from the trivial series. This is not true. He is completely sane.What makes him nervous was the decision of Sumo association that prohibited his playing two consecutive series. It was Sumo association that made him sick.

Pleasure Boat

On the last Sunday I went to one university where test for social insurance solicitor took place with a friend who took this teat.We arrived at 8:30 in the morning. She's going to take this test until 16:40, so I needed to kill time until then. I went to the famous Wajiro lagoon near the university. I walked and walked along with the lagoon under the extremely strong sunshine. I was the only who dared to do under such a extreme sunshine. I got tanned very much.I was the only one on the land side, but on the bay there're three pleasure boats that were playing ski on the water. Some of a young girl wearing bikini shouting very loud, which was of course seemed very fun.It takes nothing to walk along with the beach. It takes a lot of money to play on the water. I felt envious, to tell the truth.Back in my home, I learned one of the people who were playing ski on the water accidentally drowned to death. He was drunk and dropped from the pleasure boat accidentally when someone cut the direction sharp.The news report revealing that he was a member of self defence force.

Bible harmonises because not harmonised parts were excluded from Bible.Bible harmonises, which is tautology.

Baptism by fire
Sep 1, '07 3:49 AMfor everyone
It occurs to me baptism might correspond to destruction by God. Baptism by water corresponds to Deluge and baptism by fire might correspond to Armageddon.
Just the thought.

Literal translation
Sep 1, '07 3:37 AMfor everyone
Literal translation doesn't work.
English term 'Good morning' is literally means 'yoi -good, asa -morning'But nobody here understand if someone say 'yoi asa', which literally means 'good morning'
Instead we use the term 'Ohayo' which literally means 'It's early'But nobody in America would understand if one of them said 'It's early' instead of saying 'Good morning'
Translation requires meaning to meaning, not word to word.
I feel it's derisive when someone insist some translation is accurate because it's word to word.

True Superstition
Sep 1, '07 3:24 AMfor everyone
20 years ago in America.
One very old woman told me someone who opens umbrella in a room will be suffered from unhappiness for three years and it's true.
True superstition?
She must have wanted to say that the superstition is true. Not the contents of the superstition is.

The truth about Asashoryu
Sep 1, '07 3:01 AMfor everyone
Asashoryu is a Mongolian Sumo wrestler who got a highest title.
He was absent from one trivial series and Sumo association accused him of not attending the series, prohibiting his playing two important series.
He was reported as mentally ill, and this is said to be the absence from the trivial series. This is not true. He is completely sane.What makes him nervous was the decision of Sumo association that prohibited his playing two consecutive series. It was Sumo association that made him sick.

Angel of light
Sep 1, '07 1:54 AMfor everyone
In two different parts of Japan -Oga peninsula and Yokohama, the scene of unidentified flying object was video-recorded. One recorded in Oga peninsula was like a rolling sphere of light, and the other taken in Yokohama was like a stingray swimming in the sky and the size of the shape changed one to five times bigger. I recall the shape of Seraph's flying.

Pleasure Boat
Aug 29, '07 4:02 AMfor everyone
On the last Sunday I went to one university where test for social insurance solicitor took place with a friend who took this teat.We arrived at 8:30 in the morning. She's going to take this test until 16:40, so I needed to kill time until then. I went to the famous Wajiro lagoon near the university. I walked and walked along with the lagoon under the extremely strong sunshine. I was the only who dared to do under such a extreme sunshine. I got tanned very much.I was the only one on the land side, but on the bay there're three pleasure boats that were playing ski on the water. Some of a young girl wearing bikini shouting very loud, which was of course seemed very fun.It takes nothing to walk along with the beach. It takes a lot of money to play on the water. I felt envious, to tell the truth.Back in my home, I learned one of the people who were playing ski on the water accidentally drowned to death. He was drunk and dropped from the pleasure boat accidentally when someone cut the direction sharp.The news report revealing that he was a member of self defence force.

Yes, in religion there are two main aspects. One is about things of after-life and the other is about moral issue. Yes, there are many religions which don't emphasise the value of tolerance.

The relationship of religion and tolerance is indeed difficult. I'd rather have not opened the door of debate as to this. I don't think Judaism particularly teaches the importance of tolerance, yet in Christianity and Buddhism, tolerance and mercy are taught actually.
I think Christianity taught the importance of tolerance, and Christians think they are tolerant. But I think they tend to think that they are only tolerant and those who do not believe in their God are not tolerant. Therefore they can easily exclude people who don't believe in their religion. As a result they seem to be intolerant. This tendency is stronger among people who have strong faith. So in my eyes, the more they are ernest in their belief, the less they are likely to accept other way of thinking or faith.
In the case of Buddhism, the situations are similar. Mercy is thought to be the highest value in Buddhism. Therefore they tend to conclude those who can' t show mercy deserve death.

Labour cost in China is much cheaper than Japan. Japan's company has them do many manual jobs. American products are more excellent than Japan's product. More and more people are inclined to start using American products.
Japan as a country has already disappeared. Although it might take some time for people to realise it.

The gap between China and Japan has been expanding in terms of cheap cost in labour. The gap between America and Japan has also been increasing in terms of efficiency in system. Indeed our country is surrounded by big market and universal value.

Recently one of our young coworkers came to our office for the first time, wearing this costume. I asked her what the name of her style, immediately she replied, it's 'leggings'. But I didn't confirm how it spelt. I thought it's leg-ins, which turned out to be wrong today. The correct spelling was 'leggings'
Here are images of leggings similar to what I intended to mean. Those are either a pantyhose type leggings or rather a leotard type leggings. Japanese women like to wear leotard or tights rather than pantyhose, so their appearances are far from sexy.
Leotard hides their naked part of legs, but made their hid intention appear, that also instigates our imagination -how the hid part is like.

Many years ago people tend to believe bureaucrats or civil servants are 'excellent', smarter than them, because they know almost all civil servants are elites, chosen passed through very competitive test.
Once I had a chance to see a test of civil servants. I was unable to answer any questions at all, all questions were academic, or even pedantic, far from our common knowledge at all, plain description and many questions, superficial, that doesn't require deeper knowledge.
Apparently those who intend to be a civil servant are not required to read many books. All they have to do is to know the name of author, what book they wrote and simple description of the contents of what they wrote.
They are forbidden to think anything deeper. Instead they are required to transact bureaucratically and that's why I am afraid they might be going to mislead us. What they lack is vision and perspective. They are short-sighted.

If you gave away a knife as a e.g. birthday present, you'd cut the friendship. And a wallet given away had to have a coin in it, if not all the money the receiver put in it would get lost. And ten more, at least. I think she even had a variety of your umbrella one. Funny.

Superstitions often survive over generation to generation, so those who have the same superstitions can trace back to their common ancestor.

Illusory? As in, there exists no instance of a single excellent bureaucrat? No, I don't agree. Odds are that such a person does exist. Rare? Yeah, that's true. But excellent people are rare in the general population, too, simply because excellence is rare by definition. If an organization - any organization, public or private - does not value, reward, and actively select for excellence, then excellence will be rare in that organization. Government is not very different in this regard than private industry.

This is courting.Love is not something you leave home when you go to work. Or it isn´t something you can do later.Friendship requires likeness and appeal. Love doesn´t.Love is a state. It is much more the one who loves than the one loved. Love doesn´t need an object. It is complete as such.

Thanks for elaborating. I was thinking you were joking. Sorry for that. I think though that the word clever is negative in describing a woman, should a relationship be serious, that is. And I can understand that Kipling meant just this, a relationship in such combinations is something daring, if not impossible. But I´m convinced that we do grow (mainly!) due to our mistakesI realize, I have to browse more on Kipling. Thanks for the insight.
