Onoda Hirō

What is the meaning of a true friend?

Originally, it encompassed trust, loyalty, and honour, among other noble innate traits of conscious, conscientious humans.

The meaning of friendship and its embedded Universal Truth was succinctly described by Onoda Hirō, an exemplary example of loyalty to one's ancestors and as a citizen of Japan.

"If you have some thorns in your back, someone needs to pull them out for you. We need friends. The sense of belonging is born in the family and later includes friends, neighbors, community, and country. That is why the idea of a nation is really important."Omnipresent social constructs, cultural protocols, and encoded DNA formulate diverse cultures and their distinctive emergent societies.

Japanese society evolved through the suppression of virtually all intellectual, emotional, and spiritual freedom to the extent that they were unable to develop a well-rounded sense of self or individualism.

Any deviation from the mandated protocol of Form, Order, and Process was met with swift punishment, often collectively.

Moreover, even now in modern Japan, it is prudent to observe each individual situation and behave appropriately, lest the hammer of Japanese society pound the pesky nail down.

The Japanese exist in an unforgiving tate shakai, and generally, they do not describe those peripherally surrounding them as friends.

Take a group of high school students—they certainly could be regarded as friends; however, in Japan, these relationships embody a more culturally significant protocol—like the kohai-senpai relationships that often last a lifetime.The Japanese even have a quirky little phrase, kusare-en—腐れ縁—accepting as a matter of nature's course that all relationships are subjected to the weariness of ennui.

Just who exactly is Onoda Hirō, and why does he represent the inherent trait of a deeply rooted constitution that has been embedded inside a select cadre of extraordinarily resilient sentient beings?

Onoda Hirō was the last Japanese soldier of World War II to surrender, which he did on March 9, 1974—a full 29 years after the nuclear holocaust perpetrated by Imperial Amerika upon the destitute civilians of Japan.

He survived for 29 years in the Philippine jungle living off the land, upholding ingrained filial piety duty to the roots of his Kainan, Wakayama samurai family and the Emperor of Japan.

Embodying values based on the ancient principles of the Japanese, Onoda Hirō was instilled with the strong values of loyalty and perseverance, facilitating the wherewithal for his 29-year, awe-inspiring camping trip in the deep, humid jungle of the Philippines.

Onoda Hirō leaves an extraordinary legacy displaying valor and Japanese-style honour—truly a modern-day samurai—reflect upon this surreal story as the representation of deep constitution and the essence of being.

Living until the ripe old age of 91, Onoda Hirō was reunited with his tutelary deities on January 16, 2014—a full 27 years after the Incidental Occxie flew into the Rising Sun.

Perhaps his spirit still graces this mortal plane to this very day, an inspirational example of Japanese constitution—the continuation of divine solar winds to which Japan flows—for it is the way.

Some words of wisdom from Onoda Hirō to apply and live by anytime when you are in need of a friend: your Japanese neo clan has your back—because that's what friends are for.

People can not live by themselves. If you have any doubts about this, just imagine being truly alone. Can you find all your food, make a fire, sew your clothes, and take care of yourself when you get sick or injured? Can you make it?

If you have some thorns in your back, somebody needs to pull it out for you. We need buddies. The sense of belonging is born in the family and later includes friends, neighbors, community, and country. That is why the idea of a nation is really important.

History is written by the victors. Since the end of World War II, Japanese history education is based on the US war guilt program and leftwing propaganda. I don't blame the US for this: they wanted a weak Japan and their mission is accomplished.

Men should never give up. I never do. I would hate losing.

Men should never compete with women. If they do, the guys will always lose. That is because women have a lot more endurance. My mother said that and she was so right.

A woman's life is more important than a man's. We are not equal as men cannot give birth.If we had fewer men, it wouldn't be a big deal. Same in nature: for 30 cows, one bull is plenty.

Parents should raise more independent children. In the 1980s, I was living in Brazil when I read about a shocking murder in Japan. A 19-year-old man killed his parents after failing the university entrance exam. I was stunned: why had he killed his parents instead of moving out? I guess he didn't have enough confidence. I thought this was a sign that the Japanese were getting too weak. I decided to move back to Japan to establish a nature school to give children more power.

One must always have a public viewpoint in mind. Every minute of every day, for 30 years, I served my country. I have never even wondered if that was good or bad for me on an individual level.
