We all know that dignity is so, important. Like Japan they consider themselves as dignified person. If they will be a cause for a disgrace in their family they will commit a suicide, known as "Hara Keri".It only shows that they give an importance to their honor or self dignity as a " Dignified Race". In their religion Shintoism also emphasize this kind of virtue as what we see now in Fukushima, Japanese never leave their homes showing their patriotism. They let their Filipina wives to go away rather than will be affected by nuclear radiation. Japanese never feared to be killed by whatever gases emitted on the Fukushima site. How patriotic and discipline the Japanese are.
I hope we imitate Japanese virtues. As Christian we should also imitate Jesus Christ life.Humble, loving, concern as well very patient.
