Love & Peace Learned from Bamboo
2023年 04月 13日
Modern societies often emphasize individualism and encourage self-centered behavior. However, the bamboos live by supporting not only their own growth but also the growth of their brothers. Rather than simply pursuing their own survival, they cooperate with the surrounding bamboos to grow the entire bamboo forest beautifully.
In addition, the bamboos exchange information with each other and support each other to protect their lives. Such a spirit is also necessary for human society. By exchanging information with each other and living by supporting each other, we will be able to realize a peaceful and prosperous society free of wars and conflicts.
The bamboos are doing their best to fulfill their respective roles. There is something to be learned from such a way of life in human society as well. By fulfilling their role, the bamboo grows the entire bamboo forest beautifully and contributes to its growth. In human society as well, we are expected to fulfill our roles and cooperate with the people around us to develop society.
The bamboo’s way of life is also a warning against the self-centered modern society. It is necessary not only to pursue individual pursuits, but also to cooperate with the people around us to develop society. As bamboo and others tell us, even in human society, it is necessary to exchange information with each other and live by supporting each other.
