I don't like it that this has put a strain on people's lives, e.g. stress, poor health habits, pollution, extinction of wild animals (there have been wolves and wildcats until the end of 19the century; there are very few bears left), etc.

But overall, positives far outweigh the negatives, and yes, there's nothing I can do about it, and I'm not bitching about it.
yes, good, I agree that we can be proud of the technological and industrial state of Japan.

yes, this success have negative sides, and you mention some of them, important ones.

I'm not sure that positive outweight negative, it depends in which situations and of course there is not much we can do, progress goes too fast for little one as we are can catch up with and try to stop...
