Do people only cherish what they have longed for and strived for?
Even if the contents of gifts given by others are the same, can they not be loved equally deeply?
Looking at the Japanese people's indifferent attitude towards the election, compared with the Taiwanese people's enthusiasm for the election, we can't help but have such doubts.
Most Japanese people believe that society cannot be changed even if they vote, and society cannot be changed no matter who becomes a politician.
According to a poll conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications of the Japanese government, the reasons why people abstained from voting include:
First, no interest in elections
Second, there are no suitable political parties or candidates
Third, work is too busy
Fourth, unclear differences between political parties or candidates
Many voters in Japan have little interest in politics. Some people just for fun vote for the weird new party and send weirdos to Congress. It is very scary to think about it. This is the consequence of not cherishing the democratic system.
Since about the 1990s, the turnout rate in Japan's national political elections has been less than 70%.
It may also be that Japan's geography is very different from that of Taiwan. Behind it is the endless, vast Pacific Ocean, and it is also a top-ranked world power. No matter how messy it is, as long as it does not start a war on its own initiative like in the past, no matter how messy the politicians are, Well, people think they are pretty much the same, and they live the same life anyway.
On the other hand, Taiwan is geographically sandwiched among the great powers in order to survive. Its nearest neighbor is still the CCP, which is always eyeing you and wants to eat you alive. And because of its embarrassing international status, its political activity is completely different.
There is a word in Japanese called "people's degree", which refers to the level of national quality. Looking at the communiqués of each upper house election, my biggest feeling is: To what extent will Japan’s popularity decline?
Just like Taiwan's election bulletin, everyone laughs at those messy political opinions when running for elections, and should they think about it carefully? This is also a reflection of Taiwan's "popularity", which is declining every year, which is ridiculous!
Ryoko may have lived in Japan for too long, and just like most Japanese, she has no awareness of the politics of her country, so she doesn't have much identification with everything in Taiwan.
Generally speaking, chatting between couples should not always be about random nonsense. Especially about the differences in life and culture between the two countries, there is always a lot to talk about.
But the sad thing is that every time I talk to her about the differences and political issues between the two countries, she will be laughed at and said: "Since you want to change so much, then run for election." Then the conversation ends hastily. topic!
If I had money, connections, a good tongue, and was not afraid of being smeared by all kinds of slander, I would definitely want to participate!
But my heart is not as broad as I imagined. I can be smeared, attacked and scolded without any concern. Otherwise, I would have agreed a long time ago and my boss would have gone on TV to do modeling!
One day, Liangzi also told me that Taiwan was like this, but she was bored with it, and why it didn’t matter; because she had been choked so many times, why not join politics to change it? This time I was stunned by her exact words. Feng replied: "Since you can't stand it, then go run for election!" Then she got angry.
Very often, she can say something like this, but I can't say it, and I reply with the exact words, and then I get angry and unhappy. I can't talk about politics, coffee, food, and there are too many things that I can't talk about. If we can’t talk about anything, then why should I take the initiative to talk about it? Every time the movement is restricted, everyone is asked to say that the six are so beautiful. Do you look so beautiful every day?
I am learning to pretend that everything is sunny as she usually does when writing. When she says that everything is great, she will be said to be perfunctory, and she will continue to abuse people without any bottom. So what do you want me to do? I really don’t understand how to talk to you like this!
It's as if I'm the damn enemy who can't talk to her about anything, but still has to think of every way to make her happy!
So in the later stage, I waited for her to take the initiative to bring up the topic, otherwise I would be angry if I brought it up. As a result, the only conversation we got was her asking me to help with various tasks!
Coming back to politics, participating in changing the country is really not the only way to stand for election!
Politics is not always a choice between 0 and 1. If you want to participate in politics, don't talk nonsense. Just like many things should never be done, there are only two tough choices left!
We can also use the votes in our hands to carefully evaluate and think carefully about which candidate is more beneficial to the future of Taiwan and you and me, and vote for him in the sacred election. This is also participating in politics. changed the country's actions.
So on 1/13, don’t forget to use the citizenship rights that the country has given you and me, and go and vote for the most suitable national leader in your mind!
