The Civilization Which Threatens Civilization

Rating: 5.0


The world is full of scientific technocracy now.

Not only enterprises,
even nations fight for the new technology
and the development of large market.

Happiness and unhappiness of modern people are here.

Nowadays, training to become a mercenary of nation,
brainwashing to become a fighter of enterprise,
are more prevalent than education to make the world better.

Commands of military style. Various competitions.
Disgusting spite. Management principle.
Cutting down of low value. Human throwaway.
Wherever you are, you always see many suffering.

In the inhuman situation,
the increase production for increase production,
the expansion of sales for expansion of sales
are carried out again and again.


People repress themselves.
People live for the social purpose.
That society might be efficient and safe.

Everything is managed. Manuals are prepared.
Underachievement or failure punish an individual.
The society and capitalists induce indifference,
and give biased information.

After that, if statesmen give a lot of regulation,
it might be possible to keep the general public away
from dangerous ideas.

If people always are tied down to
hard work, target and reward,
it might be possible to stop independence movement.

If people are made to consume energy,
and their bodies are debilitated even more,
it might be possible to deprive reformation spirit.

National security is regarded as same as the world peace.
Large amount of money is spent on
environmental management and national defense.

Resistance, objection, opposition are suppressed
by authority, common sense, majority decision.


What happened after that?
Humans have became dangerous this time.

Shocking cases happen sensationally one after another.
People don't feel funny about strange things now.

At last,
even the management side also have became dangerous.

Selfish people are increasing day by day.
They don't consider others, and live mechanically.
They are ignorant of the rules, and make troubles.

The mechanization for rationalization
increases new management.
High quality raises the precision of the work.
The many can't follow social speed.
They are exhausted already.

Suicide? or Murder?
Otherwise losing a life by catastrophe?

The machinery and the technology that let the world be rich,
transform easily to a weapon.
Tragedy happens suddenly. The world remained silent.

The problem is too much complicated. Nobody deal with it.
The world of today is full of personal pleasure and indifference.
Thus modern people don't interfere with others.
It is hard to criticize the civilization while having a civilized life.


Someday, someone might try to do somehow.
If it succeeds to solve immediate problems,
we might turn a blind eye to the crisis of future.

If the justice can't overcome evil,
bigger evil that pretend to be justice may go openly.

At the same time, we will know that,
how did the civilization let the daily life progress,
how did not let the human race progress.
