  • Mishima has a a good point about modern day thinking. Today people do not think about anything but themselves and dont try to find a deeper purpose for their lives not just for themselves but for others as well.

    Perhaps it is because of modernity we no longer have to strive for some deeper meaning in life.

    He was a deep man and I respect the way he died.

  • You're right about the modern West, but the warrior spirit is not foreign to the classical West at all. The Germanic tribes, Greece, Rome, and the Celts all practiced exactly the same concept in their everyday lives.

  • @DarkprinX2500 so dont post a comment on this video. Are you ABC or wut? i know people like you never purchase but download illegally. never contribute to both japan and US economy. Chinese are chinese even in other country. never changes

  • I don't want to judge those who prefer to live for an ideal rather than to die for an ideal: I find it rational and noble. However those who hate and mock an heroic gesture just because they never tried to understand what its meaning is, I despise them. Because they're either direspectful ignorants or a bunch of cowards.

    I think that is what Mishima found unbearable about modernity.

    None of you is asked to agree with him or commit seppuku, but at least show some respect if you are able to.

  • A great poet too!!...

  • @Katsumotothesamurai I'm sure some do. Just a handful though.

  • i will be there stand in the street fighting with yukio,i want to do tue seppukku ritual on day
