Translation - English I like to give you three recapitulations of my argument that I have presented so far; the first point is you need
to respect other's attributes at the same time if you are willing to achieve development in your individual's
character. The second statement is you need to keep in mind that there is a so-called an obligation if you are
willing to assert the authority you possess. The third argument is; if you want to show your financial power
you must conscious that your responsibility comes with this. I summary, my theories come down to these
three actions. When I restate them, in other words, you are not worth to develop your individualism,
demonstrate authority, and show your ability to possess the wealth if you do not receive some level of ethical
training at all. I explain it in different terms again. The characters, which should be behind these three actions,
will happen to control you. This means you will need to accept this if you want to freely receive and enjoy
these three avaricious things. If anyone, who does not have the characters with no considerations, tries to
develop their individuality, he/ she will disturb others. If anyone tries to utilise the authority, he/she will lean
toward overusing them. If anyone tries to use the power of money, society is corrupted. In my opinion, these
consequences will lead to resenting exceedingly dangerous phenomena. These are characters of authorities
that you tend to get attracted to the most in your future. In conclusion, you will have had to be an excellent
person in nature.
