That’s it—this sense is it. If we fall for the plot of bad guys, we will get
involved in a war.

Being
At Odds With Each Other Not Wise – August 15, 2012 –
Today, I am busy with socializing with people
at this time of Bon holidays.
In the meantime, I posted the following
text on a bulletin board “Hou-chi-gi.”
Please read it.
I never talk about neighboring countries or
neighbors, depending on my likes and dislikes.
Some Koreans are bad and others are very
good-natured.
I superficially make friends with even
people I dislike regardless of nationality.
One of those I dislike even helped me make
a lot of money.
When I gave him some money in reward for
it, he sent me very expensive Korean seaweed.
Well, the Lee Mung-bak administration shows
the terminal disease of worst approval rate.
To cover up this lame-duck condition, the
administration tries to have their people direct attention toward a foreign
enemy Japan.
This is a conventional way of second-rate politics
in which the government tries to have the people hate a foreign enemy to cover
up inner contradiction.
It is exemplified by the “visit to the
Takeshima islands by the South Korean president” and his comment that “Japan
should sincerely apology for us if the emperor wants to visit South Korea.”
What silly words and actions! However, my anger will make no difference.
At a proper time I spoke softly, “Everything
your country’s president has recently done is not so wise.”
“You’re right. I am ashamed as a Korean. I am sorry” was the response of my Korean friend.
“Never mind,” I promptly answered.
I think this is the way to get along with a
neighboring country.
Antagonism between Japan and South Korea,
and Japan and China just pleases the U.S. warmongers.
I can keep good company with anybody
whoever he/she is South Korean, Chinese or American.
That makes me happy and above all, helps me
get a lot of business! And it is
mutually profitable.
The more happier and profitable life we can
often enjoy under a win-win situation, the better it is.
I feel as if I were a Horie-mon.*

Well, when Japan and South Korea build a
friendly and cooperative relationship, U.S. warmongers cannot take the lion’s
share. So they always plot out “a policy
to put distance between Japan and China” and “a policy to have Japan and South
Korea hate each other.”
Narrow-minded people who cannot understand
this simple fact and show their hatred of South Korea and China are species
despised as “Netouyo.”**
Such people, including epigones of Netouyo
like Yoshie Sakurai and Satsuki Katayama, cannot get along with neighboring
countries and so cannot live a happy life in wide and affluent Asia. How poor they are!
