Wow, that seems as though maybe the Korean way of life follows a lineage of success. At least that's how I interpreted it. Does this restrict the way in which they can think and ponder ideas beyond the social norm? I'd have to delve deeper into this to see if this results in a struggle for sense of self. Not that that isn't apparent here in the US because it sure is. Very interesting and thanks for sharing!
Absolutely it does (in my opinion and the general opinion of people I've conversed with). Any meaningful type of self-actualization is largely absent here besides a pursuit of wealth and reputation.
Thanks for reading!
