Throwback Thursday

Furuya Sensei posted this to his Daily Message on September 12, 2002.

Whenever we have a problem, we always think, "them" and "us!" By making "them" our enemies and opponents, we take no responsibility for them and we don't even care what happens to them. But if we think that we are all "one family" and they are our fellow human being and friend, then we have to think and consider the problem very seriously and deeply. This is what we always fail to do. It is simply easier to make everyone our enemy and be done with it!
