常識
地球上で、我々は生きている。日々の生活から、戦争まで、すべて、この地球という限られた舞台で演じている。すべてを総合して考えると、どこかで一つ増やせば、どこかで一つ減らすことになる、「零サム」の世界だ。そこら中に継ぎはぎがあり、不調和で不満足だらけだが、全体で一つの、大パーフォーマンスだ。戦争とテロとは、区別がなくなった。核兵器と核発電という、収支勘定の合わない活動もしている。
食事・医療・教育は、お金がかかる。自分の取り分は、減らしたくない。浪費を切り詰めて、浮いたお金を回すほかない。食事・医療・教育の取り分が目立って少ない、損をしている人たちにお金を回せば、戦争もテロも、ぐっと減る。
こんな単純で、わかりやすい図式は、常識でしょう。

Common sense
We all live on a surface of the globe. Our daily life or carrying warfare, everything we do are on the stage of our earth. All our activities relate to each other as one organic structure. If you will add one thing into a part, you must reduce one from the other part. Our world is “a zero sum world”. We have restored and patched many of the parts. We actually live in a world of disharmony and dissatisfaction. Anyhow, we are committing one big performance. Today we cannot distinguish the wars and the attacks of the terrorists. We produce nuclear bombs. We build nuclear power stations. Both of the projects shall never give us any sound balance sheets.
To supply food, to give medical care and to give education, it costs money. Since nobody gives away his or her benefit, we have to cut off the wastes and use the saved money. If you save that great amount of the wasted money in the arms and warfare, you could spend it for the people who need their benefit. The terrorism would be lessen immediately. We can save the life of young people instead of wasting them.
The diagram is so simple, easy to get it. It is just common sense. Isn't it?
