Asking why
I am brought up being taught that I should ask the reason behind most things we do. Even though we grow up to realise that alot of things we do are done based on instincts (for example falling in love). But I still think I do most things for a reason.
In Japan, people do things because they have always done it. Bow to a podium before your speech: I asked people why they do that, does the podium have any representation? They started asking the same question amongst themselves and never come up with an answer. Or why do you use precious water to wash your rubbish before throwing them (the answer is because the rubbish is for recycling and you dun want dirt with them... = =, but to me from sg where water is PRECIOUS... it doesn't make sense).
To do without asking.... this just reminds me of military obedience. Even if they ask you to die killing other people... maybe the Japanese haven't really changed since the kamikazes.
