This past week....Japan's Prime Minister showed up in the US, and pledged $1-trillion for US investment purposes.
Yeah, it's an awful lot.
So I pondered over this.
Japan has this term they use in describing a battle or assassination attempt.....where a massive effort was made....lives lost, and yet it was a failed attempt.
In their mind....if you tried to kill someone and it failed....the person (surviving)...has some type of unforeseen destiny now attached. They are no longer a mortal man. The term? Kiseki.
This would be the description attached to Trump.
Japanese folks attached to the term 'immortal'? They have a word which loosely translates to immortal....but it also means 'undying' and 'imperishable'.
I won't suggest that they are a bit crazy over traditions or legends, but they do attach a status to things....which goes beyond the norm.
The trillion-dollar gamble? They seem pretty sure.
