No Way Out

When people possess certain social objectives, first thing they do is looking for people who possess similar objectives and start an organization. The objectives could be making money, or achieving political goals. Personally, I do not like such an idea for getting together, but I understand the idea itself. When you wish to sail out to the vast ocean, you would like to take a ship and companions.

However, organizations could cause serious troubles. As time goes by, organizations go through a metamorphosis, where the original objectives wear off, and a new objective is born, which is usually maintaining of the organization itself. The tendency grows stronger in organizations that generate money, with people depending on them. Such organizations could incubate a phony logic that would strap people "for the organization."

I believe there is no meaning for an organization to exist if it has lost its objectives. I think it is natural that a company, whose main objectives were to make profits, should be dissolved when it has ceased to earn profits.

So, I must point out that such rules must be applied to political organizations in much more strict manner, mainly because political organizations are maintained by people who are supportive of their original objectives. If the organizations are unable to accomplish their objectives for decades, maybe nearly a century, I would have to say that the existence of such organization is poisoning the social system.

Private enterprises go bankrupt when they are unable to gain profits, and disappear from the face of the earth. However, political organizations struggle for their survival by attempting to convince us with excuses that their existence itself has a meaning.

Japan's current dilemma that there seems to be no solution for anything, is represented by the logic of the political organizations.
