"SGI Vice President Yoshiki Tanigawa, during his recent visit to the U.S., posed the question: For us, what does it mean that President Ikeda is putting the finishing touches on his life and eternalizing the foundation of the Soka Gakkai?“In concrete terms, this means building the ranks of capable youth who seek Sensei as their mentor and who are committed to their vow of realizing their mentor’s ideals and visions,” he said (see April 7 World Tribune, pp. 10–11).
NO!
That is NO ONE's purpose in life aside from Ikeda's own! HE gets to pursue his own ideals and visions (knock yerself out, fella), but he does NOT get to impose his own preferences on others!
No one should be required to constantly keep someone else's priorities in mind, to be constantly checking everything in his/her life against that other person's "ideals and visions". NO! Each person must develop her/his OWN ideals and visions, based on each person's utterly unique individuality! NO ONE GETS TO COMMAND THAT!" -- Blanche Fromage of RedditSGIwhistleblowers
We were once youth, did we fail? The youth today will be the aged tomorrow....if they always defer their success on the hopes of "today's youth," isn't that instituting a ploy to disguise failure today, failure tomorrow? Besides, Testosterone at that age rules....they will hear the Sirens call!....the Max...
ReplyDeleteYes, always a catch 22 in the SGI.
