"Make a Friendship You'd Help and You'd Be Helped."
I have no intention of encouraging fights, but you need to have enough courage to get in a fight. You need the power to act. If, moreover, you ignore the sufferings of others, then you are in real trouble.
In relations among people the most important thing is to know people who will render help when you need it and people who you would help when they need it. I'm sure you will agree that it's important to want to help. To say, "help me!" when you have a problem and then ignore your friend's problem when the time comes, that's not friendship. For one person cannot make a friendship. People who will cover for others when there's a problem; Japan's problem is that we have too many people who can't do that.
