25. Healthy "doing nothing" and easy "doing nothing".

Here, it is important to distinguish that "doing nothing" as a concept is not all the same.

For example, in natural farming, the idea that "humans should not duplicate what nature can do" can be a rational way of thinking. In corporate management, "reducing unnecessary control" is also reasonable. Psychologically, there is meaning in "not worrying endlessly about things you cannot control." In life, it is possible to adopt an attitude of "not trying to control everything yourself."

These are "doing nothing" as an optimization of intervention. On the other hand, if someone says, "I will do nothing, but I expect to receive necessary goods and services," that is a completely different problem.

26. Nature gives us things. However, in society, someone is working.

From a perspective of natural regression, it is understandable that a feeling arises that "nature will give you things even if you do nothing."

• Sunlight is something that humans have not created.
• Rain is also something that humans have not created.
• Photosynthesis in plants is not something that humans are doing.

However, in modern society, many of the things that humans consume do not simply come directly from nature.

• Houses require people to build them.
• Water systems require people to maintain them.
• Electricity requires people to generate, transmit, and maintain it.
• Food requires people to produce, process, transport, and sell it.

In medicine, education, communication, and even roads, there exists a vast amount of labor from others. Therefore, while personal experiences like "I received something without doing anything" may be valid, when viewed from the perspective of society as a whole, it is possible that someone else was working in place of you.

27. The "free rider" problem appears here.

If only some people in society live a life where "I will not work, but I will receive what others have produced," then the society cannot function.

• Family members can also provide support.
• Friends can also provide support.
• Welfare systems can also provide support.
• Communities can also provide support.

However, what would happen if everyone did the same thing?

• There is no one to produce food.
• There is no one to build houses.
• There is no one to maintain electricity.
• There is no one to repair the water supply system.

Then, the system cannot be maintained.

In other words, it is a thought that may be valid at an individual level, but may not be valid when universalized.

This is a very important point when considering "being given things without doing anything" as a social ideology.

28. Even so, to the person themselves, it appears as if it "came from outer space."

This is also interesting. For example, if a friend introduces a job to someone who has quit their previous job, the person might interpret it as "I left everything up to fate and then a job appeared." However, from a social perspective, it can be explained as "Job information was conveyed through previously established human relationships."

Even if a person receives living expenses from their parents, they can interpret it as "the necessary money has arrived." However, from another perspective, it is "assets accumulated through the work of one's parents that have been transferred."

Depending on which description is adopted, the way we see the world can be completely different. In spiritual narratives, human relationships, systems, accumulations, and coincidences may sometimes be summarized under a single word: "universe."
