I thought there were several steps to desire for approval.
-
1: I want to be approved by my geographically localized surroundings.
- Primitive village society, etc.
-
2: I want to be approved by everyone on the Internet
- No longer geographically localized.
- However, since it is transmitted in Japanese, it is linguistically localized.
-
3: I want to be approved by everyone in the world.
- However, it is temporally localized because it is not prepared for continued existence after death.
-
4: I want to be approved by everyone, including the future.
- It gets to this point where it becomes something like “immortality.”
I’m beginning to think it’s a desire for immortality after all.
- I also want you to visit the grave every year for posthumous approval.
