“Truth and Lies”

Mass media was fair.
Journalists were brave.
Politicians were honorable.
Executives of major corporations were honest.
Bureaucrats were lawful.

That was a long time ago.

At its core, work has a purpose and a goal.
Through their work, people interact with society and grow.
In this context, deceit and injustice at work is impractical.

In order to rebuild a bright society full of hope,
It is essential to change the mindset of the elite.
If they do their jobs with a correct sense of purpose,
Great results can be achieved.

Good media convey accurate information clearly.
Good journalists risk their lives to cover a story.
Good politicians put the prosperity of the people first.
Good businessmen value trust over immediate profit.
Good bureaucrats serve the nation selflessly.

Some people look down on others based on their education.
Some people are vain with their power and wealth.
Some people lie without hesitation to increase their social status.
There are many liars in today’s world.
Identifying the truth from the lies is not easy.

To avoid deception, we need wisdom.
Discovering the truth is the source of wisdom.
This is how we can protect ourselves and our families.


「真実とフェイク」

マスコミは公平だった
ジャーナリストは勇敢だった
政治家は高潔だった
大企業の創業者は誠実だった
官僚は律儀だった

それは遠い昔の話

本来、仕事には目的があり目標がある
人は仕事の中で社会と関わり成長する
その中での誤魔化しや不正は論外である

希望溢れる明るい社会を再構築するには
エリートの意識改革が必須条件だ
正しい目的意識で立派な仕事をすれば
素晴らしい成果が得られる

立派なマスコミは正しい情報を正しく伝える
立派なジャーナリストは命懸けで取材する
立派な政治家はまず国民の幸福と繁栄を考える
立派な経営者は目先の利益より信用を大切にする
立派な官僚は私心を捨て国家に奉仕する

学歴の高さを笠に着て人を見下す人がいる
権力や財力で虚栄を張る人もいる
自分を立派に見せて平気で嘘を言う
現代は実にフェイク(偽物)が多い
真実とフェイクの見極めは容易ではない

騙されないためには智慧が必要だ
それは智慧の源泉ともいえる真理を学ぶことだ
それが我が身と家族を守る方法になる
