德国战日本，谁更强 ？ （英语）
Both German and Japanese is the headstream of the second world war , both of them made self assertion that they are the finest race in the world , many people may share the believe that there must be some similarity between the two , as the way I see it , compare to Japanese , German people are some alien organic life form from some other galaxy . The disparity between their inherent nature is prodigious .
Since we are dealing with the word excellence here , we must come to a sense that the races who possess the quality of excellence must have something in common , that if we must unearth the commonality between Japanese people and German race . I think the words such as , seriousness , industry , cleanness , love of order and neatness , discipline and so on may fitting the category , in those area I believe the Japanese and German race has a lot in common , but as for inherent racial instinct , this two different people are veritably from two different galaxy .
Japanese as a people does not present as an enigma for her Asian neighbors , People like Korean and Chinese and so on , must had grasp fundamental knowledge for the Japanese people , but as for German race , a race of indigenous European , both Korean and Chinese may not knowing them so well . Chinese and Korean may had some ambiguous understanding for the Germans . Methinks it is vital to reveal the innate nature of Germans as what kind of human being they really are , in doing so it will help many of you to make comparence with the Japanese .
My family has many connection with Germans , most of them are live in Germany , I enjoy culture of German speaking people , especially of the era of Bismarck time , I personally are not live in Germany , but as their influence and my inherent nature , I believe that I have many things in common with the Germans , if without this commonality , this resonance , I believe to interpret the soul of Germans are merely a castle in Spain .
Yes , Me and German shares many things in common .
German people is a special race , for whom had endowed with many inimitable peculiarity . Such as their penchant to wallowing in being absolutely obedient to rules and regulations and love of order . This is one discernible factor for which is easy to notice , but if we look deeper to this special German penchant , the way I see it should I say I felt it , this German penchant has nothing to do law and order itself . This is more like the inner reflection of German’s soul , Germans are overbearing . They tend to exert their will over every minutia of process from an event , or work . They do not allow anything that present as a threat to their will , in order to prevent anything that could challenge or undermine the way how they doing things , thus they inclined to institute various laws and regulation to protect it . For this , has nothing to do with law itself , this is the method of securing the things going their way and eradicate anything could challenge it . From this , German tend to not to compromise , they will use very and intractable means to securing their will are instilled into the process of how things goes . In every minutia . In this process , Germans are very relentless , very absolute , very indomitable . The purpose of this relentless restriction is to make sure that everything follows order not goes awry . Yes , I think that the Germans is that kind of people of my way or the high way type . This explains them why they possess this strong penchant for orders and sheepish docility towards regulations and rules , and this is also the explanation why this German uniqueness is hard to imitate by the people who is not German . Germans are endowed with an overbearing soul , they will eliminate all possibility that challenge their will over things .
This is merely one facet of the Germans , Surely Germans also possess other uniqueness , such as coldness , emotionless and so on . Many foreigner live in Germany are complain about that the German are cold as ice . Yes , this is German uniqueness . People say that , the place where flower are scentless , people are emotionless . Yes , many foreigner lives in Germany all complain that the flowers in Germany are weird since the pretty appearance does not conceal its scentless nature . Yes , as for the sentimental Japanese , Germans are cold as ice and not emotional at all .
Maybe the Japanese will condemn this as flaw of the Germans , but methinks that this uniqueness had made German who they really are , it had made them unique when standing out in the concert where all other human beings confluence , and because of this cold and emotionless nature , this had render the German uniqueness are inimitable for alien people .
For my understanding over human’s soul , the race who is sentimental , their strong suit are mostly reside in art . The emotionless types are good with reasoning and logic . The nature of art is image-building , the method of grasp an idea , a sentiment , a emotion , a feeling , an image and so on and reflect them in a tangible way . Such as literature , novel , painting , sculpture , music and so on . This very feeling and image are to be translated from the creator’s mind’s eye into something that is tangible . The process of this “ translation” , is done by the creator’s subjectivity , as it is in the state of subjectivity , the “translation” can not be one hundred percent precise , it had a slight deviation from the reality , because how the creator perceive things can not be the thing itself from a subjective mind . As for the word of subjective it denotes the personal penchant over things , as personal as it is that also denotes the creator are unconsciously distorting the reality into their personal favor . Art is a process of emotion building or image building , it had endowed with personal feelings . Art is presentation of emotion , it is irrational . Human feeling is irrational as it is subjective . The famous artist are mostly the sentimental type , since their emotion , their love or hate are so intense . Thus this had render them the capacity for “ translate ” their emotion or feeling into tangible form with great ease . Art itself is the unconscious exaggeration over things that is slightly deviate from the reality . Like how people passing word from the first people onto the last people , the last people may say something utterly different from the first man. Same thing goes with art , from the inception where artist makes an perception , when he trying to translate his very idea , it will has a deviation effect since his work can not remain identical to his primary perception since the emotional subjectivity . Art of image / emotional building are not pursuing the absolute preciseness .
Rational thinking will not tolerate any subjectivity , logic is emotionless , relentless and away from the realm of humanity . This is the reason we call it ( cold logic ) in English . Those sentimental type who had endowed with tremendous emotion are not suitable for conducting rational thinking . Subjectivity are not compatible with abstract or logic deduction , rationality murders any human emotion , logic itself is absolute objective . Without this objectivity , than it can not be called logic in a real sense . Rationality does not compromise human emotion . It’s goal is pursuing absolute exactness , absolute preciseness . Rationality does not appreciate the ambiguous beauty of art , as emotionless as it is , rationality does not need to be translated from mind’s eye of subjectivity . It endows with the highest preciseness from reality and away from any deviation . The rational type of human-being are normally emotionally weaker than those people who are less rational , the same thing goes with race . German race is a race that emphasis on rationality . Probably that you’ve heard people saying a word such as “ German preciseness ” . “ German preciseness ” is almost inimitable for the race who is not German since the god perhaps favors this endowment upon only his emotionless creations . The inherent nature of the German are cold and emotionless , thus their reasoning power , logic deduction , abstract thinking is superbly developed . This has to ascribe to their unique coldness , I think that if you enforce the German to be as sentimental as other races in the world , it will only produce an lamentable result as Germanhood will be destroyed , as German uniqueness is being destroyed , methinks perhaps the great German since then is not worth of mentioning .
I think I had had fly far enough to unscrambling the soul of Germans , in order to depict a full picture of the German perhaps I really need to sit down and write a big book . German is a special race , they had endowed with many peculiarity that is inimitable to the people without Germanhood . German is the opposite of Japanese , Japanese good with image-building , German’s strong suit is rational deduction . Japanese are sentimental , German are emotionless . The two may not live well in the same world , If you insist to unearth the commonality between the two . I think the word of seriousness , cleanness , obedient toward regulation , neatness and so on may fitting the category , besides those quality , German and Japanese are different organic life form from different galaxy .
