Chapter 791
Masayoshi Kishimoto was silent for a long time, but he said slowly: "If God asked me to make a new choice, whether to be a rich man or a poor man, I would choose to be a rich man without hesitation."
"You should regard wealth as your life!" Sakai Rie blurted out.
"Yes, I just regard wealth as my life. Don't say once, even ten thousand times, I will only choose to be a rich person without hesitation.
You really think that the life of the poor is like the ones performed in some movies and TV dramas. Although we are poor, we are happy and happy.
People’s happiness and happiness are based on wealth. Without money, people will feel inferior, huge financial and life pressure, and they will also be irritable.
In order to escape the various unsatisfactory, stress and negative emotions in reality, the simplest, direct and effective way for the poor to numb themselves through alcohol, drug use, and drug use, thereby achieving a relief in reality.
Even at a very young age, poor children often have problems that the middle and upper class will not have. They will not think that they will live long and are very pessimistic. Some people think that they can only blame themselves for living until they are twenty years old, and if they live past thirty, they will be satisfied.
This is not the case in poor and war-torn countries, or in developed capitalist countries like Japan with a good social security environment." Masayoshi Kishimoto talked freely.
"Because Japan is a suicide country, what's so strange about it? Some of the Japanese people choose to commit suicide if they are a little unhappy.
Why do we Japanese speak in a very tactful way? It is not as direct as Americans. We are afraid that something very terrible will accidentally stimulate and hurt others, and then something very terrible will happen.
In the company, some office workers choose to end their lives by suicide just because they are criticized by their boss.
Such things are not a rare thing. They happen every year." Sakai Rie expressed her own different opinions.
"Since you mentioned the United States, I will tell you about the poor in the United States. Whether it is the poor in Japan or the poor in the United States, they are essentially the same.
Do you think there is no Japanese poor children among the poor Americans who cannot live long? There is still.
Research has long been shown in the United States that poor children do not take care of their studies? There is a genetic theory that they are born with poor genetics and are naturally stupid.
I do not completely deny that there is such a reason. However, I prefer that their living environment is not good. Poor people live in places that are often filled with sin.
Just like animals in nature, they may face danger at all times and cannot be fully focused. They also need to pay attention to sudden things that may happen around them.
Over time, even in an extremely safe environment, you cannot devote yourself to it. Moreover, many people have seen people around you since childhood either being shot or going to jail.
If a person is poor and has a short ambition, he will lose a long-term plan for the future. Even if he has it, he will only stay on his mouth and will not take any practical actions at all.
Tomorrow is beautiful, the day after tomorrow is even better. The poor can't live today. If you explain the day to the poor, the things that will come after tomorrow are meaningless. They can't listen at all.
The most terrifying thing about poverty lies in despair for future life, rather than placing hope. The life of the poor is not only boring, but also living like a walking corpse lacking in souls.
Otherwise, why would they be keen on getting rich overnight? They just want to get rid of the current poor living environment from the bottom of their hearts." Masayoshi Kishimoto said with great sarcasm.
Rie Sakai couldn't listen and said, "You said that the poor Americans are all black and Latino. The mainstream white people in American society will not be as good as you said."
"White people live more pessimistic and desperate than blacks and Latinos. In contrast, blacks are the poorest and happiest." Masayoshi Kishimoto is not talking nonsense to her.
In his previous life, he read a book called "The Lesson of the Countryman". The book is called "The Countryman", which does not refer to American farmers engaged in agricultural production.
In fact, only 2% of the country's people engaged in agricultural production in the United States. The country people mentioned in the book refer to the white working class in the United States.
The manufacturing industry in the United States moved out of its own country. After the industrial upgrading and transformation, the manufacturing cities that the United States once proud of were declining day by day.
Manufacturing factories have been moved one after another by capitalists to Southeast Asia, South Asia, mainland China and other places where labor costs are low.
American workers will definitely be unemployed. After they are unemployed, they rely on the little relief given by the government to survive. They are filled with anger and depression, and distrust of the elite.
They have almost never escaped such a vicious cycle for generations. The fate of workers' children is the only one who is the worker, which has caused American capitalists to look down on and contempt for American workers in their hearts. This has also been confirmed by Cao Dewang himself.
"The Lesson of the Countryman" has similarities to the novel "The Grapes of Wrath" by Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck.
The difference is that "The Lesson of the Countryman" is written as an American worker, while "The Grapes of Angry" is written as an American farmer.
The former describes the personal experiences of three generations in the form of a biography of the author, and the time span is relatively large. By the time of the author's generation, a turning point occurred and the so-called American dream was realized.
The things written in the book are all things he saw and experienced with his own eyes. The author himself admits that he is the lucky one among the very few, after all, he graduated from Yale University, one of the best institutions in the world.
The latter describes the story of a large number of farmers going bankrupt and fleeing famine during the economic panic in the 1930s, reflecting the thrilling picture of social struggle.
It is full of blood, tears, indignation, and struggle of American farmers. The work also won the 1940 American Pulitzer Prize in Literature.
"You must be making up stories to fool me again, right?" The main reason why Sakai Rie didn't believe it is because of the preconceived ideas about some orthodox educational books or films that reflect the United States in some orthodox educational books or films.
Black people are poor because they are naturally lazy and stupid. White people are poor because they are often caused by excessive consumption forward. They all work hard, etc.
