世界の支配者は欧米諸国だ。世界は白人種によって支配されている。それに注文をつけているのは、中国とイスラム諸国だけだ。日本は米国の属国のようなもの。いまだにお妾さん的立場から脱却できないでいる。
　日本が一人前に独立するには、核弾頭を持ち、米軍を沖縄から追放した時だろうが、そのような時代はまずやって来ない。なぜなら、地球があまりにも狭くなってきたからだ。日本は武力を持たずに世界のリーダーシップをとれる国にならなければならない。これはなかなか難しい公案だ。その一つの方法が、調和主義による、世界の調停役だ。いつ、日本は世界の調停役の使命に目覚めるのだろう。

PART FIVE:
A Look at the Past, Current Affairs and the Future. (4)

By Shun Daichi

3. What will happen in the future?

Is a nightmare waiting?
When we adopted the imperialism of the West and became a master of the art, the West found fault with us because Japanese style Civil Warism was too extreme for their liking.

And the typical Japanese excuse at that time was, "we are just copying the West's idea of colonialism. What's wrong with it?" However, at that time, the idea o imperialism and colonialism became obsolete quickly, partly because of Japan's involvement in world affairs.

At that time there was a new idea forming which denied imperialism and colonialism, especially in the U.S. and Japanese failed to recognize the birth and growth of the new idea.

The same thing may be happening today with the free trade system, imperialistic business conducts and the mass consumption economy of developed countries.

Japan mastered the rules of global trade and became successful in it, and consuming much of world natural resources.

And the West is again finding fault with us. This time the Civil Warism of Japan may be destroying the tropical forests of Asia and several industries in Europe and in the U.S.

Is this too extreme for the West's liking? Yes, I think so.

Most leading Japanese businessmen and politicians today say, "what's wrong with us? We are doing what the West are dong."

However, a new idea of global business and less consumption economy may be forming somewhere.

The new idea may be much kinder to the environment.

I just hope that the Japanese will notice the new idea before it becomes too late. Otherwise there will be a nightmare waiting for the Japanese.

b. The Only Way
In the short term, Japan has to apply Harmonism not only inside but also outside Japan. Which means self-restriction of its international business conducts.

In the long run Japan needs to modify Harmonism to accommodate the concepts of "contracts," "law and order", "debating" and individualism."

This will take a long time.

Every country needs a way to stabilize one's society and we have Harmonism and the U.S., Australia and Europe have the contract system.

Other countries have military power or religious belief or guild system so on to control their society.

Harmonism works somewhat well in Japan but far from faultless and the same is true with the "contract" system of the West.

Ideal situation in the "contract" system is achieved when you can trust people and when there is no need for contract.

However, today we have to read very thick contract documents to control society. In the "contract" society, there are too many lawyers and too many dispute.

Idea of Harmonism may be considered as one of the alternatives to build the world a better place for us to live.

Today, the world is lead by The US and European countries. The ruler of the glove is the Western country. They have a mind and will to govern the world. Only oppositions they have are China and Islam countries. Japan cannot rearm nor kick out US military from Okinawa nor develop nuclear power, for the world is getting too small for that.

Then what is the role of Japan in the world? Japan should apply Harmonism to the world affairs, intervene world affairs with the idea of Harmonism without military power.
