Japanese Proverb

“Baka ni tsukeru kusuri wa nai”- ‘There is no medicine that cures stupidity.”
But the worship of divinity is a greater evil than stupidity. Why not therefore find the cure not for stupidity, but the cure for divinity? Please do not misunderstand me. I have the greatest respect for Japan as a nation and the greatest admiration for the Japanese as a people. They do have another slogan which is more powerful as well as enviable: "A world without kindness is grim; a world without sweat is decadent." Often times, I have wondered if Japan had won the Second World War in the pacific, the Philippines would have been a better place than it has been. For one thing, Christianity would have died out as the Japanese culture, values and beliefs would have eradicated in the Filipino psychology that destructive faith in a God who will provide.Poch Suzara
