Thank you for this nice comment! I read it with a smile on my face. Now I have little time, so I will only refer to one issue. When I talked about Japanese culture, I didn't want to criticize it. Like you say, it's different + it's complex, so it's a mistake to simplify it. While I can understand some things, I can't understand others (e.g. patriarchy, which is only gradually changing today. During World War II, the Japanese sent their daughters to the front with a smile on their faces. Not to mention their kamikaze sons), this was my criticism.

I´m very happy If I make your day better, even if it was just for a momment. I´m Also sorry If somehow I make you feel like I was trying to say you were criticizing the japanese culture, I was not trying to. I was just stating my thoughts about how different our culture were and still are. There are of course things that I don´t share either. But since we came from a very different cultural background and time its almost impossible for us to understand the moral structure and why they did things that way. For instance their relationship with dead and honor its far different than ours. And that change everything with regard to the samurai-daimio relationship and also regarding to the kamikaze. But if we look closer the differences in this are more about form than content. Cuz we westerns also send our sons to war knowing that many of them won´t return. Western generals ofthen have to sacrifice soldiers in battle for the sake of the strategy. The examples are severals.
Nice to chat about these topics. Thanks.
No, everything is alright. I'm just direct and I like to use too strong language, so I thought I was exaggerating (which often happens :P).
No worries, I also tend to used strong languages too, and since english its not my first language (as I think its your case also), I ofthen can´t explain myself very well.
Yep its not xD.
👍 so You can understandme better when I say people ofthen don´t understand me😅.
