Japan -- The Land of Perfectionists

One of my friends had been to Japan recently to accumulate business. He has the quality of being down-to-earth to know things and when I showed interest in knowing his experience out there, his discourse revealed something that is not only strange, also shocking.

Firstly, there is an acute dearth of the youth in terms of percentage everywhere in the realm of employment. The reason is even more shocking that the expenses of child bearing and bringing up is so very high that the couples are retreating from creating the next generation. Please do not laugh at this because we, the Indians, would take another century perhaps to realize this crux of being self sufficient, and further another one for its successful execution. Even if these are taken under serious consideration, the execution still remains dubious.

Secondly it is not that because they are financially strong that they maintain an average cleanliness everywhere ones vision can explore. This average cleanliness is even cleaner than what we maintain cleanest and are contented with that.

The advantage of this race who never cries out-loud is that they are never contented with anything; they always storm their brains in making things better than they are now. Had it been some other country in Asia, a massive and inhuman massacre like Hiroshima would have left the state dilapidated forevermore. Dominating the whole world with the economic boom would have been rather a fanciful impossibility. It is worthless to spend time and words explaining how hey have achieved it.

Lastly, it had been my strongest endeavour to find out one good reason to name them bad and find out a point to criticize the race. I found none. Do you know anything about their fault as countrymen of Japan?
