HOLY ASSETS MONEY CANNOT BUY OUT







HOLY ASSETS MONEY CANNOT BUY OUT



You may think it is unacceptable to be asked to answer immediately whether you love the God or money.

But, this is the question that pious people must be thinking about always or for a long time since they become grown-up.

Or, this is the question people must have already decided to answer either way or in any skillful manner to justify their desire.

So, I asked you to answer immediately whether you love the God or money, since you must have had plenty of time in the past to consider this question.

Anyway, once in your life, you have to test yourself as to how much poverty you can bear or endure for your neighbors if not for the Christ or the God.

What is important in this context is for you to be asked this question at least once in your life by somebody.



SECTION I: NOTE FOR YESTERDAY’S ARGUMENT

Yesterday, I wrote: “It is because it is money Japanese hard working people have paid as tax to the Japanese Government that has bolstered the U.S. financial sector in these decades.”

Put more correctly, Japan has purchased U.S. Treasury bonds with international payment surplus or money earned through international trade.

Therefore, the money Japanese hard working people have paid as tax to the Japanese Government has not been directly put into funds to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds.

However, sometimes in the past, the Japanese Government put public money, namely taxpayers’ money, into actions to buy failed banks which in turn were purchased by U.S. financial institutes at lower costs.

And, as Japanese workers work hard, Japanese goods win the international competition so that Japanese businesses can earn money from the global market.

Those workers are honestly paying tax which supports the government activities to purchase U.S. Treasury bonds.



SECTION II: PROSPECTS FOR GREAT DEPRESSION

Being very honest strategically and personally, I do not think that another Great Depression is imminent.

The present financial crisis will not result in the global Great Depression, I reckon.

It is mostly because most of experts in the world look smart enough, in parallel with some super rich people in the U.S. and Europe looking not so smart as being capable of intentionally bringing about this financial crisis for some profound reasons that in fact cannot exist at all.

It is also because of wider diffusion of information and availability of electronic means to cope with a sudden change in financial situations.

These two factors, information and electronic means (advanced computers and telecommunications), are also part of causes of the recent financial crisis, since workers in Wall Street have been abusing information and technology to the extent of making their dubious work harm the whole economy so much.

But, prompt circulation of correct information and secured access to advanced and effective means to control money flows can also help parties justly or legally concerned prevent a future large-scaled financial catastrophe.

In 1929, governments, markets, and peoples lacked information globally and locally needed to avoid panic.

In 1929, they had no advanced means to deal with financial transactions efficiently enough to avoid panic.

Today, if authorities and regulators of governments get correct information and establish cooperation with one another, a chain reaction of a large-scale financial catastrophe can be stopped.

Yet, Wall Street must continue to suffer application of corrective measures if not the ultimate punishment.

It is because the state of individual financial assets of G5 countries is as follows:

These assets must be protected from Wall Street gangsters, though apparently something must be corrected on the figure on the U.S. household financial assets.




SECTION III: JAPANESE TOWNS WORTH VISIT

I once introduced Japanese sight-seeing areas popular with tourists.

The report looks like having drawn some attentions from global viewers.

Recently Brand Research Institute, Inc. made public its research result on attractive or enticing cities in Japan as follows:

Rank………City………Grade
1…………SAPPORO……59.5
2…………HAKODATE……55.9
3…………KYOTO…………55.1
4…………YOKOHAMA……51.9
5…………OTARU…………49.2
6…………KOBE………47.8
7…………FURANO………46.5
8………KAMAKURA……45.9
9………KARUIZAWA……41.4
10………KANAZAWA……39.8


(http://www.tiiki.jp/survey2008/index.htm )

Among them, only Kamakura City and Yokohama City are on the Kanto Plain, around the Tokyo Bay, where Tokyo is situated.

In my humble memory, Kanazawa on the Sea-of-Japan side of the Honsyu main island is the most Japanese, including landscapes observed from a train accessing it from Tokyo or Osaka.

Indeed, there is a myriad of traditions and sights money cannot create and even buy out.


**************************************************************

The most valuable thing in Japan is in a sense the Imperial Palace.

It is in the center of Tokyo, or Tokyo has developed around the Imperial Palace.

Even when the Imperial Palace was called Edo Castle or Chiyoda Castle, namely the residential castle of Tokugawa Shogun before an Emperor moved from Kyoto to Tokyo 140 years ago, this historical place had been the center of one million citizens in Edo (Tokyo) for 250 years of a samurai era.

You cannot buy out Washington D.C. or the Imperial Palace of Japan.

It is so, since it is tantamount to buying the history of the nation, respectively.

This is the very limit of the power of all the contemporary money.

You had better love the God more than money at least, since the God can set any fate on Washington D.C. or the Imperial Palace of Japan.

It is because the God is the sole Creator of the earth, the solar system, the galaxy, and the whole universe, including atoms constituting a dollar or yen bill and your body alike.



(Indeed if your friend loses everything in Wall Street, do not hesitate to even show a bit little of love pointing at some phrases in the Gospel or pictures posted in EEE Reporter.

Yet, even a bit little of holy power is the best gift only Jesus Christ can present, to tell the truth.)
