Toward Ecosophy

Grumbling, I sympathize. I am starting to see now the impact of the past three insane years on Japanese society. My brother-in-law knows several people wheelchair bound after the shots, which on the surface were not coerced, but in the context of a society in which an order for a community to jump off a cliff was. in living memory. taken seriously and anyone escaping it was shamed, the very high rates of vaccination in this otherwise intelligent society can be understood. My husband who stopped at the second shot because it impacted his immune system and he knew from years of experience with Japan's doctors that their reassurances had no validity, accepts that we will now be discriminated against in Japan, while all the "good Japanese" suffer what was inevitable for them. My closest friend and sponsor in the Fuji Faith looked a bit too skinny a couple weeks ago. Now I look out at the blue sky and it seems so far away.
On Sunday we attended my eldest brother-in-law's funeral. Everyone says it was the shot that did it, really bad stroke. The funeral was attended by next of kin, groups of in-laws and his wife's business associates. His cousins did not attend even though they live nearby. Those who attended kept strictly to their little groups, and except for me, did not try to get acquainted with the others.
