(One Peaceful Day around Tokyo)Money, Law, and God
The other day I purchased a pack of postal cards. The change was 400 yen ($4.44) which I gave a homeless man I happened to encounter on my routine way, though it was not a 130-yen Christmas confection.
SECTION I: A King in the Jungle
If you eat, drink, and have some fun for decades, you will indeed look like a whole man outwardly.
However, you have to accumulate knowledge and get skills to manipulate money and law through long experiences in society; and then you will really behave like a full-fledged member of society.
Yet, you are helpless in a situation like this: the bubble of the crude oil market, the Wall Street scandalous failure, and the emergence of an African American President without mentioning the 9/11 Terror attack and the White House’s decision on launching the Iraq War.
You are completely helpless though you may be master of eating, drinking, having a fun, and manipulating money and law.
This must be the starting point of your long journey for the fulfillment of your true-self and enlightenment of your good-soul.
Put simply if you can kill a lion with empty hands like a man-king in the jungle, you cannot be respected in the world that is making full efforts to address the bubble of the crude oil market, the Wall Street scandalous failure, and the emergence of an African American President without mentioning the 9/11 Terror attack and the White House’s decision on launching the Iraq War.
Give up being master of eating, drinking, having a fun, and manipulating money and law, but read the Gospels and follow Jesus Christ as a poor and humble man. Then, even a lion in the jungle will respect you more than the man-king in the jungle.
SECTION II: MONEY vs. HUMAN VALUE
Now we still live in the money-based economy.
But, people can produce, sell, buy, and consume goods, commodities, and services without money.
The evil of money is in its function of applying to anything in this world.
In theory, if you have 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (trillion times trillion) dollars, you can buy every land on this earth including those owned by the governments (in addition to the future right of use of the Antarctic Continent, the moon, and Mars).
You can also buy all the companies, businesses, firms, and shops on this earth.
You do not need any theory of economy, since now you know economics is a jargon of fools and the poor.
But, on the completion of your buying out the whole earth with money, the value of money will take a nosedive.
Indeed, money can lose its value. Money is not value itself. The value of money relies on the underlying value of lands, companies, goods, and commodities as well as services.
It is the potential of human beings, including wisdom and desire, and their activities that decide the value of money.
Put short, money is a secondary tool in the human society.
And any tool can be replaced by other, since mankind is smart.
As the money-based economy gets so dangerous nowadays, we have to think about the introduction of other tool that will replace money as a means used for convenience in the human world.
That is why I am predicting that mankind will live in the No-Money Economy in the 22nd century.
Money and value, this has been the greatest issue since the invention of money by mankind.
And, you have to learn every piece of wisdom of mankind to tackle this problem, starting with reading the Bible.
SECTION III: Mechanism of Economic Panic and Solutions
There is one unique economist in Japan. He simply argued that it is avarice and greed of the rich and the super-rich that give rise to economic depression.
Mr. Takuro Morinaga writes:
------------------------------------------------------
A financial panic is triggered when avarice of the super-rich, namely capitalists, has inflated to reach the surface of their business and economic activities. They come to hate to make others happy and rich. They come to like to see working people suffer so that they will not distribute wealth widely in the society. The super-rich, namely capitalists, only inflate their own incomes which they in turn invest in business to inflate it. Their company will grow, if smartly operated, to a conglomerate gaining global presence.
However, as they do not pass enough money to workers, namely consumers, the time will come eventually when no goods and services sell any more. Then, prices will collapse, leading to deflation and falling into a crisis.
Therefore the best solution against this kind of danger is to allow consumers to gain a means to buy goods and services. And, one effective measure is tax reduction for workers and consumers but not for businesses and the rich….

John Maynard Keynes also thought that the best measure a government should take when its revenue has decreased is not a tax increase but a tax decrease.
In order to promote this measure, however, the central bank of a nation must provide funds to a government for its execution of administrative and public services.
To produce value by spending the funds, the government needs wisdom to understand how much value the result of the spending will have in the society.
If a one-billion-dollar road constructed newly based on the funds directly provided by the central bank has added value of two billion dollars, the value system of money in the whole society is preserved or rather enhanced.
This well-known scheme must be applied to every micro activities of every citizen and consumer.
The government must invest funds directly provided by the central bank in the people.
The government must love the people by investing a State budget in them before the people feel to like loving the nation.

That is all for today.
Don’t be a king in the jungle or NASDAQ.
Anyway, St. Peter said that Judas was a thief and betrayed Holy Lord Jesus for money.
But, my Ever-Holy Lord Jesus Christ cannot be such a fool as would be betrayed by a thief for money.
Probably, my Ever-Holy Lord Jesus Christ saved the life of St. Peter by preventing the attack from the Devil and restricting it only to the betrayal against Him.
If Judas had been ousted from the group of disciples before the Last Supper, Judas must have told the Roman Governor that even St. Peter was as dangerous as Jesus Christ.
Indeed, money made Judas a little more foolish, so that St. Peter could evade the possible arrest and death, or the following of his Holy Master to the crucifixion around Jerusalem; Categorically the chosen disciple St. Peter succeeded in carrying out his mission of allowing for the establishment of the Gospel Books.
In this way, the Devil failed in completely burying the story of Jesus Christ in the history, since the Book of St. Peter-Mark, the Book of St. Peter-Matthew, the Book of St. Peter-Luke, and the Book of St. Peter-John were surely delivered to the world.
Indeed, St. Peter, the Ever-Holy Lord died for you.
Please call your followers, the Vatican, back to Jerusalem, sir, St. Peter.
(Oh, dear, it is so blue around Tokyo, though I don’t mind since it is a romantic Christmas.

Act 12:14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
Act 12:15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.

Act 12:17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.
Act 12:18 Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter.
Act 12:19 And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.
