Even if you're a good person, you still need money to survive...
Sounds a bit neat. but I think I understand.

I knew it, they are not self interest people ？ Sad people.
Most of those people are so desperate for money from the government that they spend it all on things they want.
I think such people are sad people, and their friendships will cool down.

Yes -
It's a beautiful thing to say this since we are living on money, but
I think it is more fulfilling and enjoyable to live free and unstable than to be free and stable.
Of course, if you live a life of freedom, even if it is unstable, you will often have trouble with money and food.
But I think it is through such experiences that people can fully appreciate the joy of eating and living. And I think we can be kind to those who are in need as well.
There are a lot of apathetic people these days, who are stable, but they are hanging on to money and don't know what they are living for, and they are always dissatisfied and have eyes like a dead fish. I wonder if they are really satisfied with their lives as they are.

It would be nice if we could afford it, but if we don't, we will be desperate to survive. It is better to have money than not to have it. You can never have too much money. If you have a family, you have to provide for them, and there will be hard times.

I see people who are desperate, and this is the time in their life when they are desperate for money. Keep that in mind and watch from afar.

You don't have to get involved with people you don't like. If you have to deal with them in your work, please be mindless, don't have any feelings for them, and deal with them as your work.

By the way, I love money.

Without it, they will be desperate to survive. In that desperation to survive, you will go through a lot of trial and error. How can I get people to take care of me, how can I learn to understand people's feelings, and so on?
I think people grow because they live desperately while thinking about it. If you learn how to get along with people through that, it will be more fun. I don't think they are disgusting people. I just think they are a waste of time. If you get away from money and focus on helping people directly, you will get what you need in life and also learn to understand people's feelings. And you will make more friends and become materially richer thanks to helping each other.
Two birds with one stone, don't you think?
Money alone can only buy luxury goods and make you look good, and just buying things for others will not help them.
I don't think money alone is enough to lead a truly fulfilling life.

I see. Yes, I see. I think you have a point.

I thought Taro is a kind person who has a pure heart and thinks about the growth of others. I think that people who can think from others' point of view are wonderful people.

Of course, it is difficult to lead a fulfilling life only with money.

"How can I get people to take care of me?" It seems to be an altruistic approach, and it didn't really ring true for me. First of all, I thought I would be desperate to do something about it myself.

When you are desperate because you can't afford it, you can't afford to be friendly with others, so it is hard to be friendly with others, but I hope I can think to enjoy my life as Taro said.

Money is a thing, so you can save others by using it in the right way.

Let's live a more fulfilling life together.

I know what you mean... ！ ！
There are people who do not help anyone and are not kind to those in need, ！ ！

But because they are that type, they only think about money. ？
That's the kind of selfish people you are talking about IMO.
There are people who only think of taking, not giving ？
They don't seem to have the spirit of helping each other apart from money.
And they don't have it in them to help with volunteer work, or to help those in need.

However, if they get a big reward for helping others ！ they might be willing to do so.

I think people who love money love stability, and they don't have the idea of choosing instability and knowing gratitude ？

I am sure that by the end of their life, they will look different and people will not be kind to them anymore, and they will return to themselves, so I think that by the end of your life, you will look different and people will not be nice to you anymore.

Rent, mortgage, food, education, caring for elderly parents, everyone has their own reasons for living.
Before I had the coronary disaster, I woke up at 3:30 in the morning, worked my first full-time job, came home, changed my clothes, and worked my second part-time job from afternoon to night, working like a dog every day with little sleep. When I think about it now, it is a miracle that I did not have a myocardial infarction or stroke, even though I was overworked. Despite this hard life, I always treated people with a smile, gave food to the homeless, and did what kindness I could with the time I managed to make, volunteering as much as I could. Now, I am still unemployed and wondering how to survive, and the only thing I can rely on is unemployment insurance.
I am grateful that I have been able to receive unemployment insurance because I have diligently paid the large amount of taxes that have been deducted from my wages and paid on my tax returns, which is a great burden, but I am obligated to do so. Even so, unemployment insurance does not last forever, and I still have to save money to buy food from the limited amount of unemployment insurance that is provided to me.
I think that only a limited number of people use their unemployment insurance to buy brand name products or to get what they want.
Some people, like Taro says, are just looking for money, and are getting it through scams.
However, I think most of them have worked very hard and worked hard and worked hard.
I feel saddened and disappointed that people stereotype them and make sweeping generalizations about them.
How nice it would be if we could live without worrying about money.
It's almost time to file my tax return, and a large amount of taxes will be further deducted from the unemployment insurance that has been paid. （ Some people have already been deducted withhold. ）
I sincerely hope that Taro understands that there are many people who have worked diligently for a long time and still have financial difficulties to make a living.

People who are in need of money will think about getting as much as they can somehow, and they will try their best to get that kind of money. They have to survive. They have to feed their families and raise their children. They have to go to work even when they feel tired, and they have to go through their daily routines without a break. But I only have $ 1 in my wallet.
I was like that for about 15 years. But at that time, I was really grateful to the people around me for helping me. I will never forget the favor I did then, and now I want to help people in need.
People who have lived a life without money all their lives will never understand the hardship and pain of people in need. I don't think you can understand unless you have experienced it, and that's not an option. It is natural for people to think about making money at work, and they will use their brains, wits, and trial and error. However, those who are getting unemployment insurance and working in secret to make money are just greedy people ！ I think that those who are really in trouble right now can only think about money now.

You smell the same as the foreigners who receive welfare in Japan.

blue-san
I am glad you understand. I wonder if people who are desperate to get unconditional money or a lot of money are really happy. ？
I wish money itself would disappear. Then food, shelter, etc. would be harder to come by and we would be in a constant state of dire need.
But I think it would make me smarter, and it would improve my character because I would try my best to think about other people's feelings and to be liked.
Most importantly, since you are in trouble, you will have the opportunity to help others who are in trouble as well, such as the homeless, and together you will be able to improve your living situation.
Then maybe the homeless will start to clean up their surroundings and try their best to help others. Of course, there will be people who will not cooperate at all or will only become aggressive when we try to help each other together. We just have to abandon those people. If they abandon you, you can't live, so they will just go away, or they may wake up when they reach their limits.
Some people may think that we are like homeless people to do such a thing, but we should just drop the notion that they are homeless ・ ・ ・ and think that they are human beings like us and we can help each other. Homeless people are currently a super minority, but if money runs out and the streets are full of homeless people, don't you think it would be interesting to see how well we all help each other ？.

Mr. Sage
Mr. Sage
You have done a lot of work so far. I really appreciate your hard work. I hope that your and Sage's past efforts will be rewarded.
But do you have to be concerned about getting money by signing an employment contract or applying for unemployment insurance? ？
Other than that, for example, you could go out on the street and ask people on the street to give you a blessing while offering your help.
Most people will be cold to you, but I am sure there will be someone who will extend a helping hand. If you meet such a person, I think the happiness from the bottom of your heart will be immeasurable because it has not worked out so far. And since you have met someone who is willing to help you, not for money or anything else, I think you will have a friend who is irreplaceable.
On the other hand, if you sign an employment contract, you have to be a person who lives for other people's money, even though you don't need food for a few hours a day, many days a week, and you lose your freedom of time and action. If you do this, you are missing out on many wonderful opportunities to meet people as described above.
I think the money you get from employment contracts and unemployment insurance will be used for living expenses such as supermarkets, internet stores, gasoline, etc. But if the money society continues in this way, the big corporations will have so much authority and wealth that they will further dominate the world, and the gap with people who are not part of such corporations will widen even more.
Furthermore, as giant corporations start letting AI do their work, human jobs will disappear. If this continues, I think we will have to live like robots of giant corporations that have no sense of self. ・ ・ ・
If we stop spending money here and start helping each other, even if it is hard or inconvenient, using our wisdom and strength, we will be able to regain our original human feelings and sense of self. I believe that in the future, beautiful giant corporations will take human beings as their livestock. In order to stop the sad world in the future where beautiful giant corporations will treat people like livestock or robots, we should stop spending money and live freely and directly helping each other. This is the only way.

To be honest, I don't want to receive unemployment insurance myself, although I do care about it.
When I go outside, I see so many homeless people who have lost their energy, and all I see are people passing by with dead fish eyes, that I wonder if the world is really like this ？.
So I think that if we stop spending money and build Hawaii from the ground up again, where we can live comfortably with the homeless people, it will be much closer to paradise on earth.
The land of Hawaii, which is beautiful and precious, is being hardened with concrete, and a large number of hot and unsatisfying vehicles are running on top of it.
Such a Hawaii is disappointing. All tourists will be disappointed deep down that something is different, as it is now.

＃ Regarding Taro's comment back on 14
＜ Purple,
I really agree with you that Taro is altruistic. You are very perceptive. Excellent. I see that you have a lot of life experience.
I think you have to make your own desperate efforts first before you become a "self-sacrificing" person.
However, I don't think Taro understands Purple's ironical metaphor.
＜ Mr. kakaka,
Regarding the mystery of the Japanese couple receiving unemployment insurance, Taro says they smell like foreigners receiving welfare benefits living in Japan,
but （ they have been receiving unemployment insurance ・ and paying for employment insurance after leaving their jobs. You don't seem to understand the difference between ） a system that provides benefits so that people who have been paying for unemployment insurance can find a job without worrying about their livelihood and
welfare （ a system that provides financial assistance to households whose income falls below the standard amount due to circumstances such as difficulty in working ）.
Japanese married couples are also eligible if they pay proper taxes, are enrolled in unemployment insurance, have the insurance premium deducted from their wages, and meet the payment conditions.
Of course, kakaka-san understands this, which is why he commented.
＜ blue,
Taro wrote about unconditional money being paid out and so on, but the reality is that it is rejected unless the person meets the conditions
You know that there is no such thing as unconditional payment.
Perhaps you are nice to people and do a lot of volunteer work and GIVE&TAKE GIVE all the time.

＃ Regarding Taro's comment in
＜ Ungaisoten,
＜ Sage,
you both probably have a long social life and a lot of life experience, and know the ins and outs of society, sour and sweet. You know all the ins and outs of society, the sour and the sweet.
I could tell immediately from your comments that you have actually done a number of important jobs. I think you are a happy person with many wonderful encounters and friends who help others.
But Taro still needs to train himself to accumulate more life experiences to read that much.

＜ ＃ 16 Apologies,
I think many of us agree with your quick thinking to write a poignant and targeted comment in one sentence.
I would advise him to be homeless, but I think Taro is already homeless ？

＜ ＃ 19 Karma,
You hit the nail on the head. 19 Karma, You hit the nail on the head. It's wonderful.
Taro writes that he doesn't want to receive unemployment insurance, but he is concerned about it because he doesn't get it even if he wanted to.
Taro has repeatedly said in ＃ 3 and ＃ 20 comments that all people pass by with dead fish eyes.
This is something that only someone who has experienced being looked at that way can feel the passerby's gaze. So Taro is ・ ・ ・ .

Question for Taro.
1 ． Do you have a family ？
2 ． Do you have someone to provide for ？
3 ． Are you an idealist, a dreamer of escaping reality ？
4 ． Have you had a long and continuous period of responsible work in a company or elsewhere ？
5 ． Are you a Marxist ・ Leninist ？
6 ． Do you have a home ？
7 ． Do you pay taxes ？
8 ． Do you have health insurance ？
9 ． How many real friends do you have ？
10 ． Why do you assume that signing a contract of employment will eliminate your chances of meeting someone nice ？
11 ． Why do you use the term "paradise on earth" which was once used to attract people to North Korea ？

For example, whether I have a family or not, a house or not, doesn't change whether my opinion is right or wrong.
If you judge me by such titles, then your values are wrong.

At least my opinion is not something I made up by copying someone else, but something I came up with on my own with my own experience.
You seem to look down on homeless people.
Those who are working hard with employment contracts are taking about 20% of the money they earn from their work to politicians who sleep during congress or don't do much of anything. They are brainwashed by society into thinking that it is natural for them to sweat for those idiots and look down on the homeless who live freely without the cooperation of those idiots.
What we need nowadays is not to work for society like robots, but for everyone to be free and live together without contracts and helping each other according to their mood.

There are many different opinions, including Taro's.
Every opinion is a different way of thinking.

I have developed many relationships through my business.
Some of them I can call my best friends, people I can help each other without compensation.
I don't think your opinions and values are wrong or right because I have met many different people.
However, all of the people who can help each other without compensation, whom I can call my best friends, have good relationships with each other, and perhaps that is why their work seems to be going well.

As for me personally, I lost my job last year due to Corona and I have a family and children.
My philosophy about work is not to do what I don't want to do, but only to do the work I want to do, and I have continued to do it to the best of my ability.
I believe that is what is best for others and for me.
I do what I want to do to the best of my ability, and the result is for the benefit of others, and I get paid for it.
I don't think of it as money earned by myself alone, so if I can afford to spend the money I earn, I think it is something that everyone, including myself, can do to help others and contribute to society.
Of course, the disparity is widening in today's society, and I think that is a big problem.
However, I don't think money is evil, but how to earn and spend money is what is important.
I do what I want to do, so I don't have to be employed in a job I don't want to do for the money Taro mentioned and become a dead fish's eye.

I have to admit that I am anxious about this situation, but I also see it as an opportunity, so I am not feeling negative about it.
Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
I hope that we will have a society where everyone can do what they want to do and earn money by doing it.

Well, Taro, I was waiting to see what answer you would give.
I don't judge myself by my title. I am not even arguing whether your opinion is right or wrong. I merely read your opinions and wrote my impressions.
I judge people based on their circumstances, background, humanity, words and deeds, and the way they think about things. On the other hand, when I see someone who has a title but no substance, I feel disappointed.

Also, I have a question for Taro. but I don't require an answer.
（ I thought that if you answered sincerely somewhere in your mind, I could make a different judgment based on the way you answered. After reading your short and categorical comment, I sympathized and agreed with what someone once said about only having a "stereotypical" way of looking at things and thinking which is aptly said.
On the contrary, I was hoping that you might have something deeper in mind.

You assume that I am condescending to the homeless, but no, I am not.
However, if you were hypothetically homeless, I do not deny that I might look down on you today.
An important perspective is how you became homeless, why and why not, and many other aspects.
physical reasons ： illness, injury, disability, etc.
mental reasons ： intellectual disability, mental retardation, depression, significant inability to relate well, etc.
reasons related to home and family relationships ： abuse （ child abuse ・ all forms of abuse, including sexual abuse ）, domestic violence, neglect, etc.
social reasons ： layoffs, unemployment, （ including economic reasons ） etc.
drug addiction, especially illegal drugs, alcoholism, gambling
who chose to be homeless by their own choice without any compelling reason, and many other reasons.
There is a big difference between those who became homeless out of necessity and those who became homeless without a compelling reason.

Among those we have seen in the daily landscape even before the corona disaster, there are those who are homeless but have signed employment contracts and go to work properly from their tents.
Some send their children to school from their tents.
Some homeless people live quietly and quietly, not bothering others.
Some homeless people urinate in public at bus stops where many people are waiting for the bus. There are also homeless people everywhere who are hanging out in large and small puddles. There are homeless people who wander around almost naked and making strange noises, and there are homeless people who mumble to themselves. Some homeless people are aggressive, threatening or trying to harm you. Some homeless people play the role of a physically disabled person and demand money.
Some homeless people pretend to be someone who has lost a leg and demand money because a part of their wheelchair is broken.
Some homeless people play the role of a visually impaired person, and when they have made some money, they dash off on their bicycles.
This is a scene many of you have probably seen at least once.

People who have been homeless for some reason long before the Corona disaster,
people who lost their jobs and can no longer pay their rent without financial assistance, people who had to give up their homes because they could not pay back the mortgage on the house they had bought,
people whose companies went bankrupt and they are now on the street.
The sad reality is that many people who originally had a decent social life are now forced to live homeless due to circumstances beyond their control after the Corona disaster.
At first glance, I can usually tell whether a person has been homeless for a long time or has recently become homeless.
Not only myself, but anyone with a certain amount of social experience can instantly identify ・ with what you call "dead fish eyes" （ which are actually eyes that pretend not to see and look at you calmly ） and can make an instant identification judgment.

Both myself and my family members have been involved in various ways, including research and volunteer work helping the homeless, rehabilitation and reintegration of ex-offenders, drug addicts, alcoholics, etc. after release from prison.
The questions you said were against privacy. Most questions, with the exception of a few, are actually questions that I ask the subject to consider how to deal with them in the future, including how knowledgeable or educated they are based on their answers.
Do you have a home, do you have family ・ ・ ・ If you are alone, you can live as you please, but if you have someone to provide for, you cannot live as you please.
By the way, if you don't know anything about Marx ・ Leninism or North Korea, by all means study up. There will be politicians who doze off during meetings and who don't do much. But never make assumptions based on the "stereotype" of the example. Some politicians are sweating for a better society.
I quote you as saying, "What we need today is not to work for society like robots, but for everyone to be free and live without contracts, helping each other [according to mood]." He writes.
I am probably not the only one who feels irresponsible when you say [depending on my mood].

After reading your post,
I have many friends and acquaintances who are angry at me, such as "What is the point of this Taro guy's angry comment ？?
I think there was a certain amount of buzz, but it is an undeniable fact that it has angered many people who are serious about their lives. Please read the kind words of the comments you have received, the true feelings hidden between the lines of polite words.
If you are serious and not just joking, why don't you start a new thread and write a detailed explanation of what you think and how you want to create such a society, and ask for supporters ？
Together with those supporters, you can lead the homeless to a better direction. Together with those supporters, we can help the homeless.
It was reported on the news that they cleaned up the mess in front of WalGreen: dirty trash, mattresses, cardboard, borrowed shopping carts, etc.
Being homeless does not mean you can make the town dirty.
If you take the initiative to help the homeless by cleaning up or encouraging them to clean up such dirty places,
I think you will find many people who will recognize you and cooperate with you.

People around me said, "Enough, don't deal with idiots, leave them alone." I commented as an individual's opinion.
This may be my last comment to you.
You are free to think what you want. You are free to think as you wish in your mind. However, it is also very important to listen to opinions that differ from your own.
Hopefully, you will be a leader in helping the homeless by working hard and sweating for the homeless and not just thinking about yourself.
I hope it won't be long before we hear happy reports and news about you one day.

You're probably right. I think it would be a good world where people of all kinds of people exist and their individuality is recognized.
However, the system of money is an obstacle to that.
The problem is that people with individuality who are doing something that makes money are recognized by many people, while people with individuality who are doing something that does not make money are not recognized.
I want a peaceful world where people can get together with like-minded people and help each other even if it is free of charge.

We are all sharing our experiences, advice, etc. and somehow finding a solution. Did you see all the exchanges ？ I was very impressed that you volunteered to share so much information with us. I know it may appear to Taro that you are desperate for money, but there is a spirit of mutual aid here as well.

You say people only think about money, most people think about more than just money.
Taro, you are the one who thinks only about other people's money. The expression "everyone" is so childish.
This is a word used by children who beg their parents for toys and games because everyone else has them or everyone else is buying them.
It doesn't get the point across and sounds like nonsense. It sounds like an overbearing junior high school student.

#26 LA said he was going to publish this Tobi in the exchange square of BibiNavi LA, so I went to see it.
I thought the exact same thing would be posted as this Hawaii version, but it's written in a coy way. And yet, I'm not getting much response, and I'm getting beat up.
Oh no ？ Where did #26LA's comment go ？ ？ ？ It's gone. Why ？ I wonder if LA is Taro.
Then there was Taro's comment between #28 cynical and #32 persistent （ the one where he said he was working now with an employment contract ） it's gone ！ ？
heh ？ why ？ why don't you get upset about money? why did you delete it because it contradicts what you said and what you did after saying that you don't want to make a contract of employment and that you don't want to make a contract of employment ？
Go to the Vivinavi Los Angeles Plaza for now!

Is Taro a liar ？
Sashimi, I also read Taro's comment （ the one where he said he had an employment contract and was now working ） I did read it.
I remember it well because I felt it was strange that you were so fascinated with homelessness and said you didn't want to be in a society where you had to work for a company or someone else to get paid.

＞ I work with the feeling that I have an employment contract but I don't lol
I just work because it's fun ？ lol

because it's fun ？ ？ ？ In the comment that disappeared. You wrote that you were unwillingly and disgustingly working in the dark.
Very strange. You are certainly too incoherent in what you say and what you do.
Maybe Taro has multiple personalities （ dissociative identity disorder ） ？ I'm worried about someone else.
Missing LA, Sashimi, I have been looking at Vivinavi Los Angeles. Thank you for telling me about it. The Los Angeles version was interesting.

＃ 43 Moco, ＃ I am Cynical, who wrote a long comment at 28.
I will not comment to Taro any more, thinking that he might have felt something by that comment, but
I was impressed by your comment, so I will comment to Moco.
Likewise, ＃ I feel the warmth of 9 Kumogai Souten, ＃ 10 Sage, ＃ 4, 6 Purple, ＃ 19 Karma, and others who have made comments that have touched my heart.
Sunset, who in a separate topic has been sweating out various questions and advice about applying for unemployment insurance and issues unfamiliar to her in a foreign land. I have actually read all the tobis of the exchanges between people who are sharing their experiences and advice with each other along with that Sunset. My question is serious. Because we are all struggling to live. We are serious about living.
And I feel that this is an important mutual help, a real mutual assistance. I really bow down to Sunset.
That is why I wrote that long comment with some technical examples.
Someone wrote that he thought he was clever and right about my comment, and I was very sorry to hear that he did not always convey his true intentions.
Just as I was impressed by Moco's comment, I hope that when people read someone else's comment, they will find something positive or a hint to help them move forward.
Moco's sentiments were conveyed to me.

This is a dusty souvenir from the Los Angeles edition. I'll share it with you.
What do you guys think ？

LA TIME ： Today 18:22 ＝ （ HAWAII TIME 16 ： 22 ）

＞ I caught a lot of fish here too ♫
This is fun ♪
The reason the text looks like a translator is because I made it into English and put it on Reddit ！
and it was too much trouble so I translated it again I translated it with Google ！

There was a comment above.
Did Taro himself come out with this ？ If so, that's too rude to someone who answered seriously.
Or it's just a uke joke talking about Taro's name ？ If so, it means he's been mocked perfectly in the LA version.
Either way, it's bad.

I have only been practicing this money-free lifestyle for about a month.
It all started because I hated money because my business failed and I lost a lot of money and for some reason none of my benefits or grants were approved.
In an effort to somehow live without money, I tried to live by helping and being helped by others and by bartering.
As I did this, I found myself more happy and lively than before.
I no longer make decisions based on whether or not money is involved, I am less stingy because there is no money involved, and my relationships are much better.
I felt ！ how much fun life is without any plans or commitments.
There were quite a few hardships, or tumultuous times, but they felt like rather pleasant hardships, unlike the cramped hardships of working.

Recently I had a good encounter and I'm going to do a job where I get paid again. I wrote some positive posts trying to be positive about the job I got, but to tell the truth, I still feel cramped doing the same kind of work every day.
I don't want the boredom of having stability but less freedom, so I will be free again soon. I will let you know if I get good results then. If it is bad, I apologize honestly. Thank you for all your valuable comments. LA posts are mine too. Sorry I sometimes joke around. I was trying to lighten the mood since everyone's mood was so hard lol.

Taro-san must be either someone who has no dependents and doesn't have to pay a mortgage, or a flower girl whose husband is military or something and is even given housing. ？ You can't say you don't need money in such expensive Hawaii. The average person's income just flows into monthly payments. There is no one who doesn't need money. Also, as someone wrote,
can you make true friends here in Hawaii ？ even among Japanese people ？ it's impossible ？ maybe ！ ？ only .

Sunset, I am one of those who appreciate you. Thank you.

As I discovered earlier, that Mr. Maezawa also posted his opinion on social networking sites that he doesn't need money.
The following quote

The way I think to make the world peaceful is to "eliminate money from the world.

Money is convenient, but when used in the wrong way and with the wrong meaning, it divides people from each other.

It makes us forget love, appreciation and respect for others, and amplifies inequality, inferiority and powerlessness.

There is no denying that money has played a major role in the evolution of modern civilization. And it is because of money that we are able to enjoy the affluence we enjoy today.

Frankly, I think it's a wonderful invention.

But that wonderful money has taken on more power than it should. It has entered our lives more deeply than we could have ever imagined.

People's lives are now told in terms of money, and the feelings behind things and things have been replaced by a number: price.

People were ruled by money and feared money.

People became concerned about their neighbor's wallets and felt as if their quality of life was determined by the amount of money they had.

I fell into the illusion that a country's wealth was measured by its GDP, and that the greater the quantity, the happier I was.

Less money led to a sense of inferiority, and more people became involved in crime.

There is no end to the number of suicide victims who end their own lives because of money failures.

With the one-sided imposition of capitalism that economic activities that increase money are justified even for the people of countries that do not prioritize it, wars have been launched, people and buildings bombed, and a rebirth that is convenient for the victorious nation has been repeated.

When might we be used for money that should have been well spent? Money is not the main player in our lives. It is ourselves. We must reclaim the leading role.

War, terrorism, murder, robbery, abuse, poverty, starvation, and suicide could be reduced considerably if money were eliminated.

When people are freed from the brainwashing stereotype that they cannot live without money, they will rethink the meaning of life and work.

They will regain their original humanity.

Now, let's actually imagine a world where money is no more.

One day, money suddenly disappears from the world.

All financial transactions will stop and people and businesses will have zero account balances. No matter how much you have saved, no matter how much you owe, it is all a charade. All that will remain are the relationships and trust that have been established.

At the same time, all goods and services will be free.

You will be able to get whatever you want, for free.

Bringing home food from the supermarket, wearing your favorite brand of clothing, or living in a house of your preferred size and layout are all free.

Now what do you think?

Will there be a worldwide panic, goods disappearing from store shelves everywhere, people scrambling to get their goods and services, lots of robbing and looting, even people hurting each other?

I don't see that happening.

What about labor production?

If you can live for free whether you work or not, will people just consume goods and stop working, as long as they are good enough?

I don't see that happening either.

In a world without money, people who consume excessively or engage in flamboyant extravagance would probably not be respected. Those who do not work at all would not be respected as well.

In a world without money, people who work at what they love and are good at, and who please and inspire others, will be appreciated. Many will also realize that work is what it was originally meant to be. People in the financial industry who were engaged in the banking, securities, and insurance industries will lose their jobs as soon as the money runs out. When such people engage in businesses that address social issues, such as primary industry and welfare, for example, and create innovation through technology and brains, the richness of people's lives will be further enhanced.

As long as those who produce goods continue their production activities as before, and those who distribute and provide services continue their activities as before as well, the world will not lose the things necessary for people's lives.

The world will change from a world where those who pay more money are the best customers and are as great as gods to a world where those who produce goods and services are noticed and appreciated.

Thank you for producing delicious farm products.
Thank you for making nice clothes.
Thank you for paving our roads, cleaning our toilets, and carrying our things.

It restores a sense of gratitude and respect for those who make and provide something, which people have almost forgotten due to the presence of money.

The requirement is an annual income of at least 100,000,000. Pay-for-performance principle. Green car or first class. Credit card color. Winners and losers.

Various discomforts that divide people, even though no one wants them to by the measure of money, disappear.

Now, how will you live in a world where money is gone?

You are the master of your life.

The end.

Thank you for taking the time to read this long article.

We also received many questions. We answered the typical questions here.

-

Finally, I am writing this as I am sure you will definitely point it out.

Well, I get what you're saying, but how contradictory is it for you, a rich man, to "lose money"?

You are right.

Really, you are right, but unfortunately the power of money still cannot be ignored in the current capitalist system.

The reason why I write these writings and the reason why you can read them like this is because I am fortunate to be financially blessed within the current capitalist system and have the chance to share my thoughts with you.

Strange as it may seem, I believe we need to have more money in order to eliminate money.

I would like to be a person of influence and transmission in the world and continue to ask everyone in the world, "Why don't we eliminate money ？".

What we can do immediately is to continue to strengthen our ability to communicate through economic growth in company management, publishing books, making movies, and meeting leaders around the world in person to exchange ideas. Through such activities, we would like to help you develop an image of a world without money in your mind as much as possible.

Ultimately, there is no way that one person or one company can do this, and I know it will be a long life-long challenge, but we will continue our efforts.

-

P.S.: We would like to make a film about "a world where money has disappeared". If you would like to help us, please contact us.
