All kinds of crimes are now rampant in the US.

In late September an armed man opened random fire on the people in a church in Michigan, killing two persons and wounding eight others and a shooting in a bar caused 11 casualties in North Carolina.

On October 4, two gangs randomly fired guns at each other in a tourist resort in Alabama after a football match was over, killing two people and injuring 12 others.

Recently, a man admitted in a TV interview the fact that he had killed his parents and buried them in the backyard of his house eight years ago. And then he described his murder of the parents as a “comfortable death” for them who were so old that they could hardly sit up on their bed.

The crime of murder occurs in succession in Japan, too.

On September 25, a woman was arrested for killing his husband at a house in Kanagawa Prefecture. During investigation, the criminal said without hesitation that she strangled him as it was hard to look after him.

Recently a man stabbed a woman in her 30s to death with a kitchen knife at a dwelling house in Osaka and there were reportedly over a dozen stab wounds on her body.

Child abuses also continue to take place in the country where the tendency of regarding child as a nuisance and burden is prevalent. On September 26, the parents who had maltreated their two-year-old daughter to death were arrested in Wakayama Prefecture. Reportedly, they gave the little girl no food and did not let her get medical treatment after committing an outrage on her, so she died of traumatic shock due to pronephros bruise.

Such crimes happen ceaselessly because misanthropy is rife in society.

What is beneficial for oneself is regarded as “truth” and it is described as “freedom” to resort to every possible means and method to put it into reality. Therefore, it has become a matter of no importance and a commonplace to victimize others.

The values of seeking only one’s own interests and satisfying one’s own greed and the view of life that one should reject and victimize others for one’s own existence plunge the people into crime, degeneration and despair.

Such a society, in which misanthropy and contempt is rife and all kinds of crimes are rampant, has no future.
