There are so many idiots in the world that I don't like it

No matter where you look, there are only people who are unable to make rational judgments by leaving it up to old stereotypes and temporary emotions.
If you think about it normally, alcohol should be banned in the same way as drugs, military power should not be possessed, the emperor system should also be abolished, and it is clear that work styles, education, declining birthrate and aging population, and social security are not responses to such small steps, and it is necessary to review them from the ground up.

Aren't all the monks frustrated too? If people listened to the teachings of Buddhism, the world should be even better.

Should I take action to change the world even if I know it's useless? Or should we just follow the majority vote and silently accept this stupid world?

I am grateful for my current blessings without being encouraged by people who say bad things about others, and what should be improved is improvement.

Hmm, that's rude, but that's probably what you call “a person who can't make rational decisions by leaving it up to old stereotypes and temporary feelings.”
It is said that alcohol should be banned in the same way as drugs, but the countries that banned it were secretly controlled by yakuza like Al Capone, and as a result, violence became a huge source of funding for gangsters.
If you don't want to have military power, try living without locking your house starting today. Unbeknownst to me, unrealistic ideals seemed to be instilled in communists as correct on SNS news, but what happened as a result of Uyghur and Tibet, which had no military power? What happened to Okinawa, the Senkaku Islands, Takeshima, and the Northern Territories?
It would be better to think that the ideology in which only such superstitious ideals stand out is a type of dangerous thought.
If “the emperor system should also be abolished,” why are civic groups that oppose the emperor system people from countries other than Japan? Is it a ❝ activity group ❞ = ❝ citizen group ❞ that indirectly supports the motherland? There is always something wrong with outright appeal activities in the world.
Precisely because there was an emperor system, I think it's better not to be incited by ideological groups that don't care about the shallowness of their own ideas by constantly making someone the bad person without evaluating such places at all, even though Japan has an emperor system. I myself came into direct contact with people with radical ideas that I met through SNS, and although they repulsed things outside of them, they were all anti-Japanese activists whose current self was unresolved in the true sense of the word.
It's a good idea to think about the word astringent.
More and more, like overthrowing the government, reforms and reforms! After all, when I saw through well that people who incite ignorant people in the world and are trying to conveniently carry things to their own political party or influent groups are at the center, they say, “Oh, is that so?” I woke up.
Actually, I don't know many Japanese people in Japan, but there is a faction where one country is inciting the destruction of Japanese culture and Japanese dissatisfaction, destroying the current order, inciting the Japanese people with that energy, and eventually their own group is trying to take the wheel.
If you look at that country, there are always demonstrations and ego claims, and you won't be satisfied forever.
Compared to those, Japan is a really wonderful country.
Be more grateful than look at others.

“People who are unable to make rational decisions by leaving them up to old stereotypes and temporary emotions”
Hmm, that sounds like you.

“If people listened to the teachings of Buddhism, the world would be a better place.”
That's not necessarily the case. For example, when it comes to whether various problems in the world will disappear if the world is unified with Buddhism, that would be impossible.

“I act to change the world even when I know it's useless”
It's probably just going to be annoying, so don't do it.

huh...

Well... I'm probably included in the idiot you say...

stupid and smiley...

Your concern has been received

Kainoko

Your concern has been received. Thank you for your honest feelings.

I'll tell you what I felt after receiving it.

In Buddhism, there is an idea of the Middle Way.

An extreme decision may seem cool at first glance, but it's also about letting go of thinking.

One event is complicated. When it seems like an extreme thought, it might be a good idea to try to walk right in the middle.

Trying to change something isn't a bad thing. After making a change, I try to think about whether I'm happy and what to do to make the change sustainable.

I like the fact that the maple leaves change slowly with the maple approach, just like the color of the maple leaves.

Sudden changes breed intolerance.

These are my teacher's words.

We value our daily accumulation

Nice to meet you, today.

I've read your question. There are so many things, you can get everything if you have money, and instead of spending money to arrange things, you spend money on wars and weapons... Something's wrong... I want to fix it! That feeling is very conveyed to me and I can understand it.

As a monk who learns and puts into practice the Buddha's teachings, various religious ideas, and their teachings, I am doing what I can with that in mind even more.

The Buddha also said that the world will not turn out the way we want it to. Don't get caught around or force yourself... why don't you walk in your own way?

Forced to do this! When I think about it, my heart becomes cramped and I can't live my life happily...

It's natural that things didn't go as expected.

I am steadily... doing small piles. If you see someone trying to cross at a pedestrian crossing with no traffic lights, stop and let them hand over a car that you want to turn right but they won't give up and wait; if trash has fallen, pick it up and throw it in the trash can...

The daily accumulation allows even small grains to eventually become large mountains and flowers bloom beautifully. Someone is always watching that serious figure.

I am very happy that they are very serious and have a compassionate and kind heart.

I want you to take advantage of that kind heart and walk in your own way. I'm sure someone is watching that seriousness.

I hope you can arrange a hopeful life just the way you are.
