🇯🇵 Japan — a country where people apologize for leaving work “too early”

In Japan, overtime is seen as duty and honor.
People stay in the office late at night so they don’t look lazy. There’s even a word for “death from overwork” — karoshi. 😬

From childhood, they're taught:
work = purpose of life
rest = weakness

As a result, Japan builds cutting-edge technology and amazes the world with discipline and dedication…
but struggles with stress, depression, and loneliness.

A paradox:
a nation with one of the highest living standards and deepest culture of respect —
yet record numbers of people withdraw from society and lose interest in life.

🔥 — if you found this interesting!
