This is a GOD-given hour. Yet, this is in no way a ‘religious’ site. 

As many of us are thrown out of our daily chores and occupations, there is more time to reflect on deeper things in life. Are you a surface-scratcher or do you go beyond? The powerful secrets lie beyond, where eyes fail and the beat of reason flutters. Nor is this in any way a ‘mystical’ site, but the ‘melody of truth’ resounds in a heart, that is looking to the future. In times of uprooting and insecurity, the search for some pillars, on which future plans could rest, is most reasonable and a much better way to overcome difficulties than to murmur about the passing away of storms no one of us is able to assess yet — or to just feed on some other entertainment stuff.

 

I have spent more than half a century in Japan, after having been born here in 1953. Over the last few years, things have finally cleared up: Japan is a tohubohu of a country — culturally, politically and morally. 

One of the reasons for this unfathomed corona-olympic setup is this: the world at large must make more efforts to locate the Japanese people — intellectually, as well as historically. This is a very high demand, but it will prove most rewarding, on a personal level, as well as on the level of your country. Do take my word as it is; there are no exaggerations, no fads whatsoever. If I were to receive any kind of payment from any kind of group, I would let you keep your doubts, if only not to arouse more attention, but since I am free of any kind of monetary matter, I do emphasize this trust aspect, for I’d truly regret, if you only lost your precious time reading on and… doubting.

There are no solid excuses for the prevailing overall ignorance of the international community towards the Japanese plight regarding national identity. It is extremely easy and a ready joke to grin about what nowadays seems to be the craziness of the Japanese, strenuously glued together by an alien oligarchy in the entertainment business. There are no nationalistic emotions and borders to be kept in mind, nothing to worry about, for they (Japanese) themselves will laugh along, stutter out their broken pieces of English, thereby enhancing the effect aimed at a deliberate abuse of a nation, which today is suddenly in the center of international attention, that will change the course of our times, not just bring forth the answer to the minor topic of whether or not the Olympic Games will be held in Tokyo.
