English version of the diary on August 4th
以下は昨日8月4日のこのブログ日記の英語版である。 The temperature in Hino City reached 32.5℃ after 1:00 pm. It is hot after a long rain. Children's summer vacation has not started yet. I was listening to the footsteps of children running down a slope in the morning. It's good to be fine. Hpwever, due to COVID-19 damage, their summer vacation will be shortened, from 8th to 23rd. Often, it's better to have some kind of experience ineach family during the summer vacation than in the classroom. I, grandpa, said so exactly. Some of the butterfly specimens I made when I was in the first grade of ele-mentary school and the plant specimens that I kept making until the sixth grade were kept in my archive now. The "observation" and the "scientific way of thinking" that was not distracted by my emotions, which I cultivated during that time are alive in the pro-fession of painting of a grandpa at the age of 75. The children study while shortening their summer vacation, but on the other hand, politics, where rubbish people have gathered together, seems to have many important issues, but the prime minister refuses to ex-plain to the people. In response to the request to hold the extraordinary Diet session, the administration replied that the prime minister will not attend, which is suspected of violating the constitution. Though, once the explanation of Prime Minister Abe did not explain anything to any problem. This administration does not see the essence of things. Turn away from the misery of the people. Try to divert the eyes of the people. Hide. Shoot and eat only the places that are convenient for the administration, and decorate with empty words. Or speak with passion. However, emotions instantly kill inteligence like mad-ness. You can't help but kill. Go straight to ruin. That isclearly expressed in the constitutional deterioration ofthis administration. The destruction of constitutional-ism is already under way. I'm not saying bullshit. In fact, the constitutionalismthat was first established in the Meiji Restoration was quickly destroyed by the idea of "Loyalty-Patriotic" and"Wealth and military power of the nation" and its real-ization, becoming the nation that devotes itself to thewar, and continues to the defeat of the Pacific War.Japan was a nation that was entwined with passion, andwas a nation of people with a contradictory duality of"power orientation" or "submission." From a psychopathological standpoint, it contained the dualism of sadism and masochism in the socialsystem and cultural structure. This is clearly reflectedin the idea of “throwing your life for the imperial power". The idea was not an idea but a social systemthat permeated the nation's consciousness throughthe cultural concept of "beauty." Life was imprinted with emptiness, and the only way to confirm the ex-istence of the self was to die in the "useful" state of the country. It is the idea of slavery. This is becausethere was a human being in the same Japan that wasisolated from such mentality. "Useful" really entails the exact opposite of the ob-ject, unless the object "for what" is clearly defined. Right now in Japan, there are cases of discrimina-tion and killing people living with various obstacles.Then, the question "why?" arose in the minds of many people in general, and public opinion thatwanted to know the idea of the criminal who com-mitted the crime was reported in the media. Or writein the hearing of the court such as "Tell the truth!" Many good people may not understand that somepeople think that killing people with disabilities is "useful to society". Those who give hate speeches also think that theyare "useful to society" and "useful to Japan". Althoughthey are the other races and the other cultures that they hate and try to eliminate violently, it is advisableto try removing ones other than pure Japanese culturefrom your life one by one. You'll probably find yourselfjust naked. Patriotism does not mean excluding otherpeoples and their cultures. To love your naked self. I'ma naked Japanese person. Patriotism is not about nationalism. Actually, if you have a wide perspective, deep thoughtthat is not short-circuited, and the ability to imagineyourself by reversing the perspective, you can be physi-cally handicapped tomorrow, you should notice the mistake of discriminating against others. ... "You should," I said, but if the so-called uncon-sciousness of the society is regulated, that is not thecase. Japanese society may be in a situation of ob-struction that regulates such unconsciousness. Childabuse by parents, school teachers, or guardians. Orkill infants. Power harassment and criminal violence in central and local governments, universities, companiesand sports. ... What exactry mean? What is transparent is the composition of "power-oriented" and "submis-sive" that is unconscious. Isn't it possible to sense human relationship only that way? In considering the meaning of "useful," I'll take onehistorical fact as an example. The word Asperger's syndrome will be heard quiteoften today. So-called "developmental disorders, autism". It was named after the name of the doctor, Asperger, who discovered this case. Dr. Asperger is Hitler's Nazi era person who "helped"in the treatment of autism in children. He isolated children with autism in Germany in medical facility fortreatment and research. Dr. Asperger worked hard to "help" for the Nazi nation. And he came to the conclusion that thesechildren would not serve the country in the future. Inthe name of medicine, he killed more than 700 now-known children with Asperger's syndrome. You can see the meaning that I said earlier that "use-ful" actually entails the exact opposite object unless theobject "for what" is clearly defined. I wonder. Prime Minister Abe and his supporters ( who shouldbe aware of the fact that there is the Shinto ShroneAgency among the supporters) is the revival of prewar conditions. With the policy of the Meiji government that quickly destroyed the constitutionalism that seemed to have been established by the Meiji Restration, let's restore the modern history of Japan until the defeat ofthe Pacific War through the taisho era and Showa era. Is the idea. Shinto ideology, howto ignore the Diet, arbitray personnel in judicary and administration, thecontrol of the press and the construction of its man-agement system, A naive conspiracy to try to gluesuch corruption and corruption of politics throughthe patriarchal proclamation. Two days later, on August 6th, it was the 75th anni-versary of Hiroshima atomic bom's victims.Tadami Yamada
