Pitfalls of Thought and Mind

Pitfalls of Thought and Mind

Tadami Yamada

      Now, to say the least, the riot in the US Capitol in January 2021, and the subsequent multifaceted progress surrounding the incident, Russia's invasion of

Ukraine on February 24 2022, and the conflict IsraeliーPalestinian bigining on September 2023、and the attack of between USA/Iran/Iraq/Syria/

Jordanon,  when will it end?

     When I am tracking the situation of the uncertainties between the parties involved in this war and the countries of the world, and the close connection between good and bad international relations, I, ...although i omit the specific 

considerations about politics and economics, ... notice that there is a common pitfall

(depression) in the above-mentioned things of human thought and mind.

     It should be noted in advance that what I omit from the political and economic aspects is that it is in line with the will of the state, which is at the heart of the

highest powers who make national decisions. This is because it becomes difficult to see the personal desire to unify and its spirituality. I believe that the will or purpose of the person in power will become completely different from the will or purpose of the people who are grouped together as the people, as the person in power

grows self-bloated.

     The above American and Russian/Ukraine thongs will probably be noted in future history, however, the argument (logic; theory) of the side that caused the “incident” is more familiar to us, for example, “Monster Parents”. It can be said that it is exactly the same as how to make a theory. Yes, I say it's exactly the same.

     That is, it is a pitfall of selfish extreme narcissism (self-love). It can be rephrased as extreme patriotism, one-country supreme principle. there is no room for the idea of “coexistence with others” in thought circuit. The idea of discrimination and thought, if not entirely absent. “Patriotism” is “faith” and self-cloning thought. Not one person is independent. They have anxiety about their existence, which they cannot live without strongly aiming for grouping.

     It has been pointed out that the collapse of democracy has begun in the current turmoil of the international community. the opinion is that a new paradigm theory is needed.

     I think that might be the case.

     However, I don't think democracy is inferior at all. It's fine to dream of a truly new idea to replace democracy, but for now, at least what I'm seeing is a moldy, imperial, and universal dictatorship, rather than s new one. Or, a one-party dictatorship masquerading as an electoral system, and their complex and strange mixed ideology. A social system based on democratic ideas is not maintained by passion. I think that the social system based on the idea of democracy is always on the cliff because it silently seeks the intellect of all people and is maintained by the  intellect of all people. However, the democratic system has been adopted by many countries around the world as the idea the most likely to “overcome” the royal system and other systems just mentioned and give everyone the opportunity to be equally

happy. I think. It does not aim at the peace of the politician. Rather, the idea is that the politician is a “public servant.” Democracy is not the best. However, it is an idea that was established through historical “overcoming” with the idea of equality for all.

     The democracy system is equipped with a device that eliminates or suppresses the narcissism of politicians. I want to say that is important.

     The “incident” mentioned at the beginning is not afraid of misunderstandings, but as a painter, I think that there is no case where I can study human thoughts and minds with various facial expression and gestures so clearly.
