    The Japan depicted in most media is an extremely idealized, romanticized view of the country designed specifically to serve as a fantasy getaway to the majority of Japanese citizens who suffer from great nihilism and pain.

    If every Japanese person is dying on the inside, what does it say about the rest of the world where some people are literally living in warzones and having to avoid being bombed to bits just to get to school everyday? They're more happy and live pain free?

    Life in general is unfair, but that says nothing about making the best of a bad situation. And Japan is clearly a 1st world country that offers many opportunities for those who want it. Since the country restricts immigrants, that literally means you can take any job right now that has nothing to do with working in an office.

    Professional chef, police officer, fisherman, paramedic, engineer, TV Anchorman, Car repairman, Movie Actor, Plumber, School Teacher, the list goes on.

    I'm not saying Japan is meant to be a giant Disney Land, and they all sing songs all day. But I also disagree that it's also some grey dysopia like the Soviet Union, where the government picked your job and you had no choice but to slave away for life.

      many existing, so few living. all your short term physical requirements accounted for in abundance, provided you participate in the soul crushing and menial economic toil, with most social, mental and spiritual needs symptomatically treated with artificial stimuli. the latter of which often administered in the evening as a form of anesthetic to blot out the fog of malaise brought on from the perpetual slog of the day

      japan is the quintessential rebuke to materialists and gay standard of living worshippers
