one’s
sense of
justice.
Our sense
of revenge
is as
exact as
our
mathematical
faculty
and until
both terms
of the
equation
are
satisfied
we cannot
get over
the sense
of
something
left
undone.’
Yoshisaburo
Okakura in
a book on
The Life
and
Thought of
Japan uses
a
particularly
Japanese
custom as
a parallel
Many of
the
so-called
mental
peculiarities
of the
Japanese
owe their
origin to
the love
of purity
and its
complementary
hatred of
defilement.
