I often say that person is a good person, but what makes him judge that he is good is that he is generally responsive and good for that person. It seems that there are many people, but those who say that do not see or know all of them.

Therefore, goodness is only a very subjective judgment, and everyone who seems to be good has a different side. Therefore, it can be said that good is a selfish judgment.

Hasidic advocate and religious thinker Israel Ben Eliezer is said to have been born around 1600 in Ocop near Volinha, Poland, and moved from one land to another to a large number of Jewish and other ethnic groups. He also fell in love with him, stopped wandering and settled in a town called Mejiboju, where he died in 1660. He gave various knowledge to the children about the treatment, distributed protection while doing an inn, made a spell, and cured the illness. These places are similar to Jesus. There were people who opposed it. It seems that they were the people called Mitonagdeem (Hebrew for "opposition").

It is said that the person who was supposed to be the territory was a Vilnius person named Eliyahu Ben Solomon Zalman. Born in 1720, it naturally does not overlap with Israel. Before he appeared, the idea that Israeli Hasidism was orthodox must have been strong. But a great man who denied even the great Israel appeared after his death. His ideology has emphasized ecstasy and enthusiasm for Hasidism, which was founded by Israel, who has the nickname of Gaon, a traditional Jewish supporter. (Similar to) and sharply criticized the practice of having an intervening spiritual leader, Zarathu (meaning righteous) between God and humans.

This idea of ​​Zalman, also known as Gaon, resembles the attitude taken by Martin Luther, who was skeptical of Catholic rituals and rituals.

Luther was also an active advocate of a fierce exclusivity to the Jews called pogroms, but that is justice from the Protestant side, and Luther was actually the owner of the Heidegger idea at the same time. It can be seen that such an idea is inherited by Heidegger who actively cooperated with the Nazis, but returning to the story, justice seen from the side of Israel Ben Eliezer and it as a heretic. It can be said that the dimension is completely different from the justice seen from the orthodox idea, and which one is correct always depends on the subjectivity of the person who judges it.

Therefore, good is always changing depending on which position you put yourself in, so it cannot be said that it is absolute good.

Absolute goodness is at least an illusion in the real world (not to mention humans). This is because any justice carries evil against the alleged evil who has always resisted justice.

Of course, it may not be possible that everyone is actually doing such an extreme evil, at least because it is fiction, but if exaggeration is an act of the work, it is actually. It is correct that not a little everyone is doing evil. Therefore, there can be no perfect good. Moreover, Japanese people do not believe in monotheistic gods (or even discriminate against those who believe in gods), so in any case, the attitude itself is to judge what is good by themselves and ask God for that ruling. In that respect, even if Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the monotheistic cultural sphere judge something each time, they still appeal to God and seek God's judgment, which is a kind of absolute humility. Only the gods will have more than the Japanese.

But there are places where all Americans think so. All Americans are not Protestant and Catholics are increasing, and there are many people of other religions, but that is the case in the United States because the spirit of the founding of the country is pierced by the spirit of the Puritan Revolution and the Glorious Revolution. However, it is unacceptable for society as a whole in Japan.

Therefore, good is relative. But at least those in the monotheistic religious culture would think of the thought circuit that thinks that absolute good is God.

In that sense, the definition of happiness is actually similar to good. If we consider happiness to reach a certain standard, a certain level of life or success in life, then everyone who does not will be unhappy, but in reality, such standard, level setting itself is deceptive. Because it may be something like that.

This is the first time, so I will put a brush around here, but in fact, it is already the ideal as the title says besides happiness. But it's like absolute. Heidegger had the idea that it is absolute to add that there is no absolute existence, and that everything is denied, that is, not. In other words, it is absolute in the situation that there is nothing that does not exist for existence.

And the fact that he is not Donald Trump applies to all individual members of humanity except the one named Donald Trump. Without thinking that way, it can be said that the situation itself, which is not, is absolute because it does not shake. Donald Trump's personality is, but can always change over time. But it's unwavering that not all individuals except him are Donald Trump. In that sense, it is absolute.

And I would like to think from the next time that happiness and ideals are only relative, but if it seems to be absolute, it will be ridiculous. ..

Addendum: All the descriptions about Eliezel and Zalman are owed to Kodansha's New Book by Kazuo Ueda, "Jews", except for some.
