2018-08-30 "Has this nation given me something that pushes me to love this nation ?" [長年日記]

(Continuation from yesterday)

Recently, I write a series of "Working reform", I come to know that our nation (especially Japanese government) is in serious trouble.

Particularly, the burden of youth is dynamically increasing, I am amazed at their patience from my view. It is not hard for me to think that

"No wonder if they band together and precipitate a civil war"

----

Compared to the conflict against "Japan-U.S. Security Treaty" in the 1960's or 70's, I think that the present period is more pressing earnestly.

It's only a matter of time that the youth come to reach the concept of hate to the nation.

More over, they had overcome the stage of "civil war", and then might have already reached to resign themselves.

-----

An antonyms of "patriotism" is not "hostility", but, maybe "apathy".

For the person who can not have a concept of "nation" or "homeland", it might be difficult to show emotion of "hostility".

-----

To begin with,

"Has this nation given me something that pushes me to love this nation ?"

Even I think it normally.

"This feeling of smothering and hard life is better ?"

"Should I accept the situation because of the present assured life and existence?"

I have thought it again and again (almost everyday)

-----

The nation that has a lot of "apathy" people, will make the government feel the maximum fear.

Even I also think that "the nation that the people lose sense of belonging in, has no future"

That means,

The "patriotism" education might be one of the national strategies against the "apathy".
