The Japanese have a lot of fucked up shit in their culture...but they also, conversely, have this remarkable, and heroic sense of honor.
Truly...these are heroes...but moreover, knowingly benevolent parents to the new generation; unselfish. The understanding that the "we" is ultimately more important than the "ME"...
Things our culture could use more of, anymore.
One hopes that news, globalization, and the respect that such acts engender may spread this positive trait throughout other cultures, including ours, in however small a way...
