Departure from Europeanism and Return to Japaneseization Theory --- Return to Japaneseization --- What You don't Need

What You don't Need

There are things in this world that are necessary and things that are not. The same thing may or may not be necessary depending on one's values. Also, depending on the time and situation, the same person may or may not need something. Things that were discarded by people and never seemed to be necessary can be reborn as treasures that many people need with a little ingenuity.

What You don't Need

The point is people's values and way of thinking. Why do people need what they need? Is it because it is convenient, because it is easy to use, or because there is no alternative? But is that really what makes people feel "needed"?
Focus on what you don't need, what most people don't care about, and what no one wants. Is it really something that is unnecessary? What separates the judgment of what is necessary from what is not necessary?
Do something a little better. After having a good understanding of other people's values and ways of thinking, let them change their point of view just a little. With that alone, things that were thought to be completely worthless and unnecessary may be reborn as something that many people need and want to buy. If you can transform unnecessary things into necessary things, many of the junk in the world will become treasures.
