For me, Filial Piety is the other ‘F word’ - I have seen it used to normalize a level of abusiveness towards children that, even in the context of typing a post from the comfort of my home, is making me furious.
And yet, I recognise it seems to be part of the recipe that empowers collectivism in Asian cultures, that has protected them from the Randian individualist race to the bottom that Western cultures are engaged in.
No good answers, no conclusion, no clear message; reality is messy, don’t romanticise ideals.
