Why are many Japanese so serious?

Question:


It seems only a few Japanese have a sense of humor and not afraid to poke fun at themselves.

Answer:


good question. I have always realized this point while on Yamanote line.
everybody is serious.
as if life is a serious road to carry heavy things just like Ieyasu said in his late years.
instead, Yankee always try to say humourous things when someone is seriously transactiong things.

its because Manner always prior to relax(humour).
this comes from a religion calls Jyukyou(儒教)still influencing in our society.

very unconfortable. very strict and stressful in such society.
WHat elders say is always be obeyed even if it is obviously wrong.
