Shame and Sin

2024/3/12.  Shame and Sin


Awareness of shame is an awareness of one's surrounding environment. 

People who are not conscious of shame are not conscious of the gaze of those around them.

Consciousness of guilt is a consciousness of absolute power. 

People who have no sense of guilt are not conscious of the gaze of the sky above them.


The consciousness of shame arises from a horizontal perspective, and the consciousness of guilt arises from a vertical perspective.

When you lose your sense of shame, it happens when you don't have to be conscious of how others look at you.

When you lose your sense of guilt, it happens when you don't have to be conscious of looking up and down.


A sense of shame develops in societies with weak hierarchical tendencies and societies that are close to equality.

A sense of guilt develops in societies where there is a strong tendency towards hierarchical society, or where there is close to inequality.

Egalitarian societies tend to be less religious, and unequal societies tend to be more religious.


In the transition from an equal society to an unequal society, religious beliefs become stronger.

The transition from an unequal society to an equal society weakens religious beliefs.

I also consider whether society will become richer or poorer.


When people become rich, their own relative status becomes important, and they tend to make comparisons with those around them, placing importance on relative evaluation.

When people become poor, their own absolute state becomes more important, they tend to seek material fulfillment, and they emphasize short-term perspectives.


Social transition

Richer

Poorer

From inequality to equality

(A) Stronger sense of shame and emphasis on relative evaluation

(B) Feeling less ashamed and taking a short-term perspective

From equality to inequality

(C) Strong sense of guilt and emphasis on relative evaluation

(D) Have a strong sense of guilt and take a short-term perspective


In the future, Japanese society will not only become more aware of the upward and downward gaze, but also move from a short-term perspective.

Communication difficulties

Like or not like , comfort or not comfort... No. I read this answer by book. There are 5 patterns about relationships with others. Positive & Active people  Positive & Passive people  Negative & Active people  Negative & Passive people  Center & Neutral people  If other people's reaction is positive & active on communication , I am in negative & passive position. And if some people gets angry on brain imaging , they are negative & active people for me. And they see me as positive & passive people.

So improving emotional reaction is to know how ot...

The Solicitation

Thinking about solicitation, we have to rethink if we are hunter or food.

Own view to World and I

  Own view to World and I I thought about feeling method about world and I. The principle questions are “What is the World?”, “Who am I?”. There are several feelings about these questions’ answers. View to World and I I am [ positive ] I am [ normal ] I am [ negative ] World is [ positive ] Normal A Mismatch B1 Mismatch C World is [ normal ] Positive thinking Normal B Negative thinking World is [ negative ] Mismatch A Mismatch B2 Normal C I categorized the answers in above matrix. If “World is [negative]” and “I am [normal]” is the answer, Mismatch B2 is my position. Then if we want to change something, we should change view to the world or I.

Cheaper work

2016/12/29. Cheaper works: Hard competition makes expensive work cheaper. In Japan, there are some people who thinks there are a lot of workers, and they are exchangeable easily. This thought can't stand on human populations decreasing society. And in this society, the flow that provides products cheaper and cheaper cannot keep. Now, Japanese society is standing on that thought, and Japanese system hardly stands. This is by the patience of Japanese. When the breaking point of Japanese system comes, the counter of patience will keeps long time. And I think that communism never comes in Japan. Because Karl Marx doesn't think about human populations decreasing...
