According to Suzuki, people in northern countries do not
share because
In my country, we make so much waste, we buy and throw
away, buy and throw away, and yet northern countries will
not share with the needy. Even when we have more than
enough, we are afraid to lose some of our wealth, afraid to
share.
Othey prefer to waste their money,
Othey think sharing is only for the needy.
Othey buy a lot of material goods.
Othey are afraid to lose what they have.
