Why do Japanese work so hard?

https://www.quora.com/Why-do-Japanese-work-so-hard-1/answer/%E6%A1%91%E7%94%B0-%E5%81%A5%E5%8F%B8-Kuwata-Kenji?__filter__=&__nsrc__=2&__snid3__=4813622654

In Japanese, "working" is "hataraku".
This means "Others will be easier 傍が楽".
That is, it works for others.
On the other hand, to work for yourselves is said to be "jibungaraku 自分が楽" = "Jiburaku" = "jidaraku 自堕落".
In English, it means "debauched"?
Japanese people work because we do not want to be "debauched".
I think it is a concept that people in English cannot understand.

I always think of "Tokuzumi 徳積み".
"Tokuzumi 徳積み" means "stacking virtues."
There are 256 levels of hell, and there are 256 rooms of hell in one level.
Enma Daioh (閻魔大王) will decide which room in which hierarchy to go by the sins you've gone to while you were alive.
Therefore, in order to lighten sins as much as possible, while living, by doing a lot of good things, we try to go to a shallower, less painful hierarchy of hell.
It may take centuries to move up one level, so it takes a lot of years to be born again.
In Japan, There is a word "SonToku".
This means "profit and loss 損得".
I do not know whether it is the influence of capitalism, but it seems that there are many people who think of values through profit and loss.
Even in the same "SonToku", I would like to think of values with this "尊徳".
It means "Honor and Virtue".
This is also a concept that is difficult for foreigners to understand.

In 1904, Great Japan Empire attacked Russian Empire without declaration of war and won it. In 1905, Japan took control of southern part of Sakhalin(Karafuto), and Japan forced Russia to not oppose Korea becoming a protectorate of Japan. In November 1905, Japan and Korea signed Eulsa Treaty(을사조약) which made Great Korean Empire a protectorate of Japan. As a result of the treaty, all foreign diplomatic offices left Korea because Korea was "immature" in its diplomacy so all diplomacy needed to be done by "mature" Japan. The US supported Korea being a protectorate of Japan by the Katsura-Taft Agreement. In 1907, the Imperial Korean military was disbanded. Japanese Resident General Ito Hirobumi forced ...

Is it offensive to ask a Korean person whether they come from North or South Korea?

https://www.quora.com/Is-it-offensive-to-ask-a-Korean-person-whether-they-come-from-North-or-South-Korea/answer/%E6%A1%91%E7%94%B0-%E5%81%A5%E5%8F%B8-Kuwata-Kenji?prompt_topic_bio=1 It doesn't make sense to ask the Koreans, "Are you from North or South?" During the Japan-Korea merger era, Japan created the world's largest dam and various factories in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula. People in the southern part of the Korean peninsula moved to the north in search of work. When the Korean War began, the northern people fled to the south, and those with money fled to the United States. Koreans should not be divided into north and south, but by differences in thought (do you like democracy or Juche idea?). President Moon is a Juche thinker born in North Korea. The administration is a group of Juche thinkers.
