Top 4 Reasons for Leaving Japan (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–87 … My Adventures in Japan)

Thanks for the clarification. And I strongly agree with what you say.

Regarding "tatamae," as I stated, it can be very beneficial to suppress or control our darker natures. If "tatemae" is used in that way, it is a very noble characteristic.

And in our western culture, it's true that "evil" is often seen as an external entity that can be driven out or exorcised. It would be nice if it were that easy, but it aint quite that simple.

Hope you find time to peruse my "NOTES" on Japan, and that you find something of interest in some of them.

You may have noticed that I followed this final post with 2 "COMPILATION" posts that provide an overall index to the entire 88-post series.

    Thanks @majes.tytyty - I am all for a climate that gives every individual both the freedom and the opportunity to contribute positive social capital, without it being fertile ground for those with a propensity toward greed & sociopathy.
