aiya, sorry about yesterday night David... I didn't get to finish as I would have liked to.
anyways, from yesterday, tradition is used in every day life, even going to the toilet is a tradition-just as family time is a tradition.
Is to obtain a good family an obligation? no.
as I stated, it's not overrated when wanting to spend time with your family, nor is it overrated to have good parents... but, the recommendations that advance family lifestyles are overrated, as you would agree to, as well as I.
a "fucked up" family isn't a "fucked up" family. either, people on the outside only see it as that because the family has it's own way of taking care of themselves or it's the appearance of the family. it depends on the factor of the "fucked up" family that makes it as "fucked up" as people would think. but in all reality, it really isn't a "fucked up" family. families have their own ways of working.
do you ever wonder if the people who find "fucked up" families to be like that because they don't KNOW what the family is really like? I believe so.
well, overall, I do agree with you to some point. It's always good to have family time with your family--knowing that you or they will be leaving some day. It's good to cherish those moments, good and bad. And it's an experience that will rub off of you to your children. You learn through it and give. The society does have a hype about making families good through recommendations, but it's tradition. Tradition for one's well being.
if I said a lot of things that did not answer the question, sorry. My mind always goes off into thoughts that connect to the topic.
