Establishment of Self

Establishment of Self

Somebody told us in our presence that his relation to God is more important than the relationship to others.
I thought he merely stated that he has nothing more important than himself, but I think this is the way how Westerners established themselves. Establishment of self, that is what lacks completely in Japanese. Westerners have established themselves through their personal dialogue to God. As opposed to the cases in Japanese, who only talk to people in their surroundings who have the similar problem with themselves. So so-called establishment by Japanese is fragile.
