NISHIO Hirokazu[English][日本語]

The Big One.

  • People feel fulfilled when they have a sense of connection to something greater.
  • The "Great One" is an entity that transcends any one individual in size, duration, or capacity.
  • I know some people get a spiritual feeling, but that's the principle that gives birth to religion.
  • The concept of "God" and the community of those who follow that supposedly divine intention, "Love thy neighbor," is "the Great One."
  • Traditions that have lasted for thousands of years and historic buildings are also "big things."

Used well, it can enhance an individual's life, but used maliciously, it can...

  • To send students to war is an example. Both "For Your Country" and "Be a Historical Man" are connections to something greater.
