Under the line connecting the two stars exists a notable shinto shrine that is also on the line connecting Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tsukuba. Now a wonder on the ground has matched another wonder in the sky. A great thing should happen in Japan.
Too Foolish Capitalism
Capitalism means producing goods and providing services only for the purpose of earning money.
As this mode of economic activities was accepted or looked accepted by the public, most of rich people justified their cold-blood business and private behaviors referring to capitalism as if capitalism allowed them to neglect humanity in their business and private lives.
However, in old days or before capitalism became prevalent, humane factors were essential in any business and private lives of people. People who produced any goods took care of consumers and the environment. Their goods should be good to them. Or those makers should follow rules set by a religion or communities. They were requested to understand value consumers respected. They produced and sold goods not only for money but for harmony with consumers and care for their lives. If consumers became happy, they would be happy too regardless of an amount of profits.
But capitalists believe that essentially they are allowed to concentrate on their own profits and benefits. The only measure they respect is market. If their goods are accepted well in market, they think that they and their goods are good. If their goods are not accepted well in market, they think that they and their goods are bad. It has nothing to do with morality and ethics.
To check unrestricted selfish behaviors of capitalists, the public needs democracy. Democracy allows citizens to fight capitalists who are neglecting people's lives, safety, health, and interest. But, ordinary citizens have to work in companies, factories, plants, or shops run by capitalists or their deputies. Most of citizens share interest and some part of profits with capitalists and candidates of capitalists. Though they have voting right in the democratic society, they don't want lawmakers and other politicians they choose to act totally against capitalism.
So, currently, it is as if government were complementing capitalists who put little or no weight on and pay little or no respect to human values, humanity, social traditions, communities, human relationships, and justice and love.
Capitalists think that it is a justifiable act to produce and sell weapons to anybody, including terrorists, if the purpose is to make money. But, capitalists might object against a claim that weapons should be sold for the purpose of pursuing justice. Any act for making money should be allowed, according to their philosophy. But an act for pursuing justice, freedom, or love is not supported by them, though they would keep silent if their goods are sold in a process of such an act.
Put simply goods should be produced and services should be provided for the purpose of making consumers happy but not for making money.
(Of course, capitalists pretend that they are making products to contribute to happiness and welfare of consumers and the public. But it is a big lie in advertisement. They are wolves in sheep's clothing.)
Capitalism should be avoided, since it is too cheap and frivolous. Fools who cannot appreciate human values but can only understand power of money are promoting capitalism.
Put more simply, capitalism should be avoided, since capitalists are dangerously too foolish.
The world that does not allow capitalists to emerge is a good world. In this context, the Islamic world seems better than the world occupied by present-day Christians and Judaists.
(As capitalists concentrate on making money while citizens, consumers and workers pay respect for other human and humane matters sacrificing money making, return on capital would be naturally and inherently larger than a growth rate of economy: r > g.)
