About scapegoats.

I'm answering for the first time.
My own experience is that when I was in the 5th grade of elementary school, I protected a classmate who was a scapegoat, and along with that child, I was left out of my group by all the boys in my class.
I continued to be out of touch with my peers until I was in 6th grade, but I didn't think it was sad or painful because I thought what I had done was right.
I think it's quite difficult to get rid of scapegoats. However, I think it is very important to clarify one's attitude in the midst of that.
Please walk your own path so that Yuri doesn't have any regrets.

Yuri, this is Urakami Tetsuya from Nagomi An.
This question is about scapegoats.

When I think about it again, it's a difficult question...
Of course, there is no such thing, and the ideal would be for everyone to get along well and be equal.
However, human nature is not easy, and although I forgot who it was, there is a saying “when human existence is boiled down, a dark mass of jealousy remains.” Also, Shinran Shonin, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, said about himself, “My heart is like a poisonous snake, a poisonous scorpion.”

But I had no choice but to give up because it was difficult, and I felt like raising a white flag against my instincts.

There is a discipline called “peace studies.”
Generally, a state where there is no “direct violence” such as war or conflict is called “peace,” and it seems that this is called active peace.
Furthermore, in peace studies, differences between rich and poor, gender discrimination, racial discrimination, etc. are called “structural violence,” and the state where this has been resolved is called negative peace.

It would be extremely difficult to eliminate wars from all over the world. More than that, it seems impossible to eliminate structural violence. But I think continuing to work tirelessly towards that is the path we should walk as a Buddhist, or even as a “cool man.”

　Yuri I saw that they were studying a lot. Is Scapegoat a Jewish teaching story written in the Old Testament? You're talking about “The Goat of Atonement.” Looking at history, the Nazis' hunt for Jews and the internment of Japanese Americans in America.
I think there are many negative images of scapegoats, but that is a story in Judaism. There are roles that are disliked in the sports and entertainment world, and they become villains themselves, form a group circle, enhance their technical skills, and change their work to something deep. (I'm sorry if this is different.)
It's far from Buddhism, but somehow, Japanese people are the race that most understands the sense of gray (gray) because it's not black or white, and it's not black or white. A friend who had left the department was scapegoat, and you didn't betray that friend and were on your side, didn't you betray that friend? The fact that you didn't scapegoat was irreplaceable for that friend, so was there any problem? Are you misled by the term scapegoat?
Suffice it to say, you, who can only think within the framework of a class, may be triggering scapegoats. “You don't understand.” You can say that, but if you think so, you should scapegoat me.
Incidentally, I'm shortening my past in my past answers. If you read it, you'll understand, but there are more people who don't like me than people who like me (probably, my misunderstanding. Maybe they're indifferent.) I am also responsible for my changed personality. But we got married and made like-minded friends. I'm going to have a hard time, and I want a little more money to proselytize. Whether you're happy or not, you're not unhappy.

First
“What do you think about scapegoats?”
However, there is a good part about people who “hate sin and don't hate people,” and they bully them, and I want to take a position to reprimand the act of scapegoating.

Next
“Is there no other way but to run away?
Is there anything around you that can be done?
What can we do to prevent people like this from being born? '
However,
There are people who have a way other than running away, and there are probably people who don't. I think we should respect each position and support those around us. Why don't you say “come back anytime” to people who want to run away, and say “because I won't run away either” to those who stay.
I can't think of a way to keep scapegoats from spawning. However, to make it harder to be born, how about doing work that enhances each person's sense of self-affirmation on a daily basis?

Yuri is a kind person with a strong heart, who wanted to do something about those who had been exposed in class.
I think that person would be happy just because the question was asked in this way. Please continue to cherish that sense of justice.
At the same time, let's think together about the pain of society and families that create scapegoats.

There was a story about a child who was bullied at a school once split a goldfish he had in class in half and threw it away by the window.
The culprit was quickly found and hanged up.
It seems that the homeroom teacher at that school was also a great person, and due to a delicate issue, the story was conveyed to the principal.
The principal came into the classroom and gave a sermon.
While making it a scene, when they say they're going to scold me so hard,
“Yuri-kun, aren't you pretty good at slaughtering fish, hahaha. But didn't you know goldfish can't be eaten (laughs)? Why don't you come to my house next time and serve sashimi to Sensei (lol)”
It seems that an air of laughter and relaxation blew right into the class.
He became a sushi restaurant 10 years later...? I don't know if it is. It's a story I read a long time ago and loved it. This is a ❝ one-size-fits-all phrase ❞ that changes suffering to ease and finds a way out during death.

If we apply this, it is only when politicians make statements about issues or make discriminatory remarks,
“Certainly, Mr. ○○'s statement was inappropriate. But is it fair to say that we don't have a single sense of discrimination? Is it really appropriate for us to become a rich country leading the world in the international community by simply criticizing Mr. ○○, pursuing responsibility, and remaining in Japan while being forced to resign...!”
It is possible to turn things around, etc.
However, there is no such politician or leader. The dignity of Japanese people has declined to such an extent. Therefore, I recommend meditating to young politicians and educators who should be responsible for the future of Japan.
When I was in college, all of my favorite friends were in junior college. Because I have a lot of life experience.
Even if you get promoted, regardless of whether you bullied him or not, you will stay a lifetime as a human being.
The Fukushima problem also seems to “maintain a sense of mental stability by blaming those in a lower position than yourself” as a mechanism for bullying, discrimination, and scapegoating. It's something weak people do who don't know the reason for things and can't face themselves. That's why real leaders are needed in every age.
If Yuri were to walk the path of a true educator, I would like her to develop a clear eye like a principal who saw through the root of things and wasn't swayed by superficial evil or one-sided evil.
