Since Foundation Day, for Japan, is about having a profound love for and pride in your country, it would seem to me to be appropriate to wish for the peace, prosperity and well being of your homeland and its people.  On a larger scope and because we are all connected in a global oneness in so many ways, today;  I think it would be even more appropriate to wish for an end to global warming and pollution.  We must all address the problems of the environment, and do something, right now, to ensure that there will continue to be a place for our families, and the generations to come, to live, breathe and sustain ourselves with water and food.   It seems that there is no more time to wish, or hope.  Action, now by every one of us, is critical to the survival of this planet.  If we think only of our nation, our people and our need, and use all up all of our sustainable elements of life, then we are bringing our lives to an end, far sooner, and more completely then we had ever imagined.  Perhaps Foundation Day should celebrate our resources as the foundation of life, and see that they are preserved, for the sake of human existence.
