[Column] The reason why Japanese are “generous” to Tepco
I came back to Bucharest 2 weeks ago. Rented an apartment for the headquarters of Fukushima Diary corporation after next year and updated my long stay certificate last week.
Next week, will go to the next country to meet a Fukushima evacuee family.
Things are going around me. I’m trying my best every moment.
On the other hand, most of Japanese people seem to do their best to entirely forget about Fukushima.
Though they are the victims of Fukushima accident, they don’t even try to ask for compensation.
I know they are afraid of having tax rate raised.
Even if they manage to make the government and Tepco compensate, the money comes from their own tax or/and the power bill. In total, they have no benefit. This is what they think most likely.
It’s partially true.
I’m fighting knowing this is true.
Warning about Fukushima contamination would ruin their agriculture. Reporting about Tokyo contamination would ruin the real estate value.
I’m aware that I’m evil for some people.
The harder I try, the more people criticize me.
I know one more thing. Nobody can make everyone happy.
I’m looking at the world after we all confirm that we can’t be fully compensated.
Everything will start from there.
Our money is in the bank. Bank’s money is in national bond. We are all tied up like the grotesque machine in the movie “SAW”.
We all need to sacrifice something otherwise we would all end.
I’m not meant to say it is easy for everyone. However, if we stay scared of the “revenge” from their side, we can go nowhere.
Probably I’m an abnormal one. but I might affect and change people around me.
I don’t like to have a long speech that nobody would remember the next day. I want to let it talk what I’m doing. If you are for me, please back me up.
