Chapter 5. Mentalist DaiGo and the Beggar master Warashibe Choja
I'm going to say something a little extreme.
Do you know the story of Warashibe Choja(Straw
stalk millionaire)?
A poor man starts with straw stalk and gradually exchanges it for something more valuable until he becomes a millionaire and lives a comfortable life.
At first, the man puts gad on the straw
stalk, but when he gives it to a passing child who wants it, he gets an orange
from the child's mother.
Then exchange the thirsty person for the tangerine and the silk cloth.
Next, he exchanged a weak horse with a samurai.
And although he was entrusted with the mansion by the mansion's owner who wanted a horse for the trip, the owner's whereabouts are unknown.
As a result, the man becomes the owner of the mansion and becomes rich.
The moral of this story is that the value of things varies from person to person.
And that it will change from time to time.
Everyone thinks convenience store lunch boxes, bags, and cars are expensive, but I think they are convinced and pay for them.
And I think that the willingness to buy is not only determined by the value of the item itself, but also by the time of year, such as being hungry, going on a date, or having more family members.
Perhaps we are paying not only for things, but also for people's performances and the excitement of chance encounters.
It's paying for songs, dances, and musical instruments that you can't own and never reproduce. It's also paying for self-development seminar instructors, professors, politicians, and lawyers.
With that money, you can live where you want, wear what you want, and eat what you want.
In old Japan, people called "beggars" would go from house to house with a bowl and receive food for the day to make a living.
It was also the custom of the local people not to refuse. (It does not mean that the world where people in such a position continue to exist is good.)
It can be said that any person is a beggar who begged for things from Warashibe Choja.
And Warashibe Choja himself first asked Kannon to get the straw stalk.
The richest man in the world may be the beggar of beggars in the world.
So is DaiGo.
If there is anyone in the world who is not a beggar, it is the homeless who has completely cut off social ties.
No, that's an exaggeration I used to make my point short.
There are many different types of homeless people.
Most homeless people don't completely disconnect from society.
There are homeless people who have friends, and there are homeless people who work.
Some homeless people live on pensions and retirement benefits.
People who sleep in internet cafes are also classified as homeless.
Therefore, it can be said that there is no one in this world who is not a beggar.
People who are tired of begging in the world may become homeless.
In this capitalist society, we tend to think that only money has value.
They believe that anything that money can't buy is worthless.
But money is only part of what is valuable.
Just as someone who finds DaiGo's books and narratives worthwhile can't say they're worthless, you can't say they're worthless to others.
