Japan faces the danger of moral bankruptcy. It is difficult to rebuild a morally bankrupt nation, although it is possible to save a financially bankrupt nation with a package of drastic policy measures that could impose economic hardship on the public.
Moral decay stems from mutual hate and a selfish mindset among the Japanese. I am horrified by the recent spate of heinous crimes. For no apparent cause, parents kill their children and children kill their parents. Some think nothing of killing strangers for the sake of killing. They are all inhuman.
I am afraid that the present deplorable situation will continue in the coming years. Compassion for parents, siblings and other humans is a basic virtue, but many Japanese are abandoning it.
