Envy Is Frightening


     There are various kinds of persons who interfere with World Messianity, and one cause for this interference is, in many cases, envy. Of course such human beings are only cowards, but I would like to say that this kind of individual is particularly prevalent among Japanese. These persons are none other than small minded and insular, but we can not be indifferent when these individuals have even a modicum of influence.
     This problem is not simply an issue for religions only. Because obstruction of the affairs of other human beings due to envy is not scarce, great care should be taken.
