In this episode, I explore why Japanese society makes it difficult to feel truly free. From postwar reconstruction to today’s hyper-organized culture, Japan has built a system of invisible control—not through laws, but through “air,” the pressure to conform and avoid standing out. People learn to restrain themselves, trading individuality for harmony, until even thinking too deeply becomes inconvenient. I describe this as a “comfortable prison,” where efficiency replaces reflection. True freedom, I argue, is not acting selfishly but thinking independently. Those who still feel discomfort or unease in such a society are, perhaps, the only truly awake ones.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------●ビジネス日本語学習者のための無料メルマガ講座⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://my162p.com/p/r/odSmegng⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠●ビジネス日本語学習者向けブログビジネスのために日本語を学んでいる人のための情報を発信しています⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://businessnihongo555.blogspot.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
