"They Shall Obtain Mercy"



(Tokyo)


"They Shall Obtain Mercy"


Today, the Japanese people have started to work as usual after at least four consecutive public holidays.

I had work to do and need to serve the God in the period, so that I did not join the national holiday mood.

And, late in the last night, a female newscaster referred to this series of long holidays, saying, "O-Baka Renkyu" instead of "O-Gata Renkyu," though perhaps only I could perceive the word, since O-Gata means "big" and Renkyu means "consecutive holidays" in Japanese.

But, "O-Baka" in Japanese means a big fool.

Indeed, fools respect holidays. Pious people respect history.

Anyway, I may be able to find a chance to go and take some pictures of Tokyo streets this weekend.

Though American financial institutions took back a huge amount of dollars from foreign markets since Sept. 2008, investment into America from foreign countries drastically declined in 2008.

This might be, however, a good chance to start to consider non-money economy of mankind.

Yet, let's check the data on money flowing in and out of the U.S. as the US Department of Commerce prepared it, since only this money flow can support the huge financial sector of the U.S.

Remember these huge amount of figures are only for indicating money.

A tiny portion of these figures might finally turn to be salary and pay you get. Yet, the value of your precious service and labour must not be based on these figures nobody can control.

Conversely, if nobody receives salary and pay in the form of money, no strange and uncontrollable figures would harm your life and your dignity. It is so since all of the salary and pay you are entitled to receive should be deposited in Heaven

As I mentioned before, without coins and bills, people can live normally as usual as if pretending they were using money.

You wake up and go to a coffee shop. Take a cup of coffee and go out to work in, say, a GM factory. Then work and have lunch at a hamburger shop. Then go back to work and finish it. You drop in an Wal-Mart shop to get some goods and foods. Then you go back to home and cook and eat. In this peaceful day, you do not need any money.

On a holiday, if you want a car, you go to a car dealer to get one. If you want a new house, you go to a real-estate office to get one. In this happy day, you do not need any money.

And, everybody will live like you. Even, the President of the United States of America will go to work to a GM factory and get goods at a Wall-Mart shop like you.

This is one example of a state of the non-money economy.

My advice is that we respect the following equation:

[A total amount of bills and coins] = [Total value of goods and service]

Any amount of money created, used, transferred, and saved while exceeding the balance level of the above equation must be illegal.

However, truth is that as mankind has now ability to produce infinite number of goods and service activities, the amount of money exceeding the total amount of bills and coins can be also infinite.

Yet, acts of production are based on philosophy.

The worst Devil might be found not in money but in philosophy.

The only authentic philosophy is what you can deduce from the teaching of Jesus Christ.

Mat 5:2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

Mat 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Mat 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Mat 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Mat 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
