Although they were rightly humbled after WW2, I feel like they readily abandoned much of their traditions (other than social decorum) by the end of the 20th century and into the 21st. Instead, what took place was post-humanism and an epoch for technology. If they somehow retained part of their pre-Meiji era shinto reverence, they would not have maligned countless of ecosystems. They would've shown respect for the nature they so willingly exploited.<br /><br />Nonetheless, the courage the Japanese have shown in aiding their fellow countrymen and resilience in trying to maintain the level of disaster is inspiring if not venerable. My violin teacher is Japanese, and when I asked her how her family was doing, she said her family is all safe and sound, and they're making the best out of the situation.Leilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490635107983302531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730345470650778399.post-85052054475748812942011-03-15T16:59:48.923-07:002011-03-15T16:59:48.923-07:00Im so sorry by Japan, is really terrible, hope all...Im so sorry by Japan, is really terrible, hope all will better soon!!! gloriaGloria Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055543111865966546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730345470650778399.post-85813872968295225382011-03-14T15:11:56.973-07:002011-03-14T15:11:56.973-07:00my feelings are with them =/my feelings are with them =/Daniel Andradehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140089584806972676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2730345470650778399.post-64236963902380322502011-03-14T13:47:30.183-07:002011-03-14T13:47:30.183-07:00im' with them!
