Will China be a Home of Minds for Deserted Souls?

 9371  Will China be a home of minds for  deserted souls?   20220514

When I was meditating about  Taiwan Straits, some findings were very uneasy for me though I had found the best solution to capture minds in this matter was to promote Traditional Chinese language which will be welcome by all and settle the minds in Taiwan. 

The uneasy part was the extremely low birth rate of  Taiwan women, which is even lower than Japan.

Some people worried for the Japanese that if birth rate keep going down and can never make up the lost of aged people, then one day Japan will be disappeared from the planet. I personally do not believe such things will happen. The problem of Japan could be a wrong design of their culture. If one day some very smart leader find out the real scenario of their future and understood it might be the result of their language and the language problem had diverted their way of thoughts then Japan maybe saved. 

Japanese language is a completely left-brain-oriented language though they had used Chinese characters a lot. Left-oriented way  of thoughts had brought them to a calculation-minded  thinking when the other side of  brain function is neglected. If future leaders could see deeply into the problem, birth rate problem would be solved.

Several Asian places had recorded very low birth rate in recent years. Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong have less people born and more people left. 

 People prefer to keep pets than to raise babies. You see prams with pets but not babies. There are more pets than children everywhere. People trust their pets more than another human being. 

It is emptiness in soul.

People just lost their motives of life as pets provide a temporary comfort for them. Many deny they need any comfort from pets. They have only appetites, not comforts, not to mention aims in life and motives in a higher angle. 

Materialism came from money culture and worst still, political powers instill cheap philosophies to promote a sense of uncertainty for the young people. Power people say, "There is no after life, there is only this life." ( 有今生無來世 ) Seldom could anyone aware this is to isolate the individual and delete the culture tradition for them. Their souls are taken away. All the history and the country are worthless if only one single life is real.  This is the reason for selfishness and reason why people cannot love and cannot have their children and ancestors to be proud of. 

This is a serious pollution of mind. 

Lonely minds were from a polluted culture. There were modern Ah Qs. The age old feudalism is still functioning in a modern mind. Feudalism is the origin of selfishness and when dirty thoughts were wrapped up in colorful decorations, young people were lost. 

How can they have babies when they cannot see tomorrow?

When their love ones are the ones that cannot be trusted, as everything is based on money, how can they feel safe to look ahead? They would say I love you today, and by tomorrow they say that word to another. 

People felt deserted.

And the only safety is in money, and money is never enough to keep oneself safe. 

People cannot see life in terms of culture, and they have no sense of history. It is funny to think about future. They do not know what is the aim to work for. 

And this is the real scenario in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Japan is the most serious case, the others are  just catching up. 

And from this point we could see  Taiwan Straits issue and Hong Kong issue are extremely important, as they are parts of China and China is considered a home of souls for us. 

The world today is divided into two extremes. One being materialism in the West and the other is in China which is a new country with a long and bright past to be valued though parts of the culture are polluted by feudalism. 

The spirit of China is a hope for us all.
