es muss sein voice of fate 2003.5.X first appearance

Bororo tribe also has  discrimination.

I was shocked.
It seems that Bororo tribe also has "discrimination by place of birth".
And discrimination between wealthy and poor,discrimination between rough and refinement…and so on.
In other words,
"I'm a genuine Edo child""Place of birth is rustic village"”Are you Koreans resident in Japan”"His fashion is not cool"”A fashionable person”"I born rich""We do not have money, so my son can not enter a university" …and so on.
It seems that there is things like the above also in the Bororo tribe.

Native people Bororo tribe who lived in the middle Brazil plateau between The Araguaya River and the San Francisco River.
Their story comes out in the ”sad tropical” of Levi-Stoles.
According to Levi-Stoles's observation.
Native people Bororo tribe.
It seems that they distinguish by born in Either on the east side or the west side of the village.To each other,as person of upstream of the river,as a downstream person.
There is Good or bad a pedigree of ancestral family-clan too.
Further,They are divided into red family and black family.
And further,they are divided into three hierarchies of upper, middle and lower.
And
"The upper class can marry only with higher class"
"Middle class can marry only with middle class"
"The lower class can marry only with the lower class"
It is said as mentioned above.
This is evident lineage discrimination.
I thought that someone must to do protest against the Bororo tribe.

I wonder if there is a story of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in the Bororo tribe.
Young men and women who were born to the hostile upper class black family and red family.They fallen in love.
"ooh Romeo,why are you Romeo.Romeo's…ooh ah ah"
When think as mentioned above,
Shakespeare 's Romeo and Juliet is a great work that has reached a universal value.I understood it again.

Aside from that,
Also in the Bororo tribe,
It seems that living standard are also different.
by the cause that skill in hunting and capturing fish,
or by the cause that luck, or Because of diligence or laziness.
Levi-Strauss confirmed it by look at the Bororo's household goods in the hut.
"One clan is luxurious, one clan is miserable"
It was also in the Bororo tribe who lived in the middle Brazil plateau between The Araguaya River and the San Francisco River.

I  maybe was wrong.I thought like that.
I had thought that there was paradise somewhere on this earth long time ago.
There is no discrimination of all kinds and everything is equal for everyone
And further, nobody would be hurted……I had thought that there was such a world.
But,I thought that it might be a mistake while listen to story of the Bororo tribe.
Utopia dreamed by the Communist Revolution was frustrated once.
Like that, there may be no paradise appearing on the earth.
Bororo tribe also has discrimination.

In the first place,People can recognize themselves by others.
Humans recognize themselves while comparing with others by distinction,discrimination,difference…and so on.
(Note.”difference”….Relationship between lords and serf in feudal period is not the difference.lords is a presence at above the clouds.
Despite the fact that the two should be equal,That feeling that appears between two citizens who Ride in the Corolla and Mercedes-Benz respectively.)
Even in the modern society where the equality of citizens is the precondition,
everyone exist in a difference.
Within that condition,be hurt,sometimes triumph,sometimes to feel down,sometimes feel happy…personality is will going to be made.
In circumstance of all no distinction discrimination and difference,
Humans can not establish their own identity and will go crazy.
And the difference creates desire.
If my friend has Mercedes,
I also will want Mercedes.
And the market society will continue to drive.

People would think like "trying to great success" in among the differences.
Vitality is born there sometimes.
A tall person, A person with a low height
Beautiful girl,Ugly girl
Good physique child,Overweight child
Handsome man,Ugly man
Beautiful hair,Bald head
Rich people, Poor people
Sophisticated urban residents,Rustic people in countryside
High educational background,low educational background
Such a difference creates desire.
And,energy is born and society moves.

Namely,
like utopia"society that everyone self-actualized besides free and equally" is not exist.
Even if exist,there is only peace like the graveyard,there is nothing interesting things anything.
First of all,Be inconvenient is a prerequisite for the freedom.
Equality is premise on inequality.
Self-realization presupposes slavery status.

"When in the fight seeking freedom, I felt the most freedom feeeling."
I think that was Sartre who said like that.
A great teacher Sartre who declined the Nobel Prize for literature.
Like he realized it too,
Fight seeking for freedom.After that,If freedom is realized human beings become empty feeling.

The difference continues to reproduce as long as there are human beings.
In each era,
Person in the extremely poor situation may be should complain to the Creator.

Bororo tribe also has discrimination.
This fact points to there is always discrimination as long as exist formed society by humans in past, present and future.

On the surface, Modern society are dressing up "society without discrimination" by prohibition words…etc.
As a result,Even if Outright discrimination had disappeared,The difference being pressed against everyone living in modern times.

TV advertisement…
"Do not baldhead"
"Do not fat"
"Must be beautiful girl"
"Should do like this these days"
"Should do this these days"
…and so on.
As described above,
Difference being pressed against many people.
And,Generate desire based on inferiority complex for take money
Children who were not growing ability for criticize begin discriminating against bald head and obese child, at school.
Girls who can not feel confident for herselves fall into bulimia or anorexia.
Everybody be swayed by differences and has been strained atmosphere.

Prohibition words is also strange.
"under" and "upper" are making a pair.
"beauty" and "ugliness" are making a pair.
All linguistic expressions are made up by relativization of concept.
Otherwise we can not express anything.
When wrote "beautiful woman", ugly woman occurred.
So,ugly woman is hurt.
When I wrote "a tall man",low stature man occurred.
So,low stature man is hurt.
It become such a situation once,
Probably we can not write anything.
If we try to increase prohibition words extremely,
Surely,
There is only way that silence and commit suicide for everyone.

First of all,we are hurting someone only alive.
When I gets a job,I am probably hurting unemployed somewhere.
If I got married, people who could not get married are scratched in somewhere.

However,I seem to repeat it,
Bororo tribe also has discrimination.
Discrimination is a Karma of humankind.
When I thought so,
I was caught in a complex emotion that mixed in acceptance and consolation and peacefulness and a little hope.
It was close to courage.
Discrimination exist anywhere in past, present and future.
Even so,affirm the human being.
affirm the human race.
To affirm the life.
If be Beethoven,
surelly,he will say like that about this emotion
es muss sein!  Voice of fate!
