koreans always love their generational trauma, especially within the family. they love it more than their ability to actually show love and compassion to eachother, and consider whoever takes their side to be real family. in reality, it's enforcing this idea of karmic debt- that identification within this material interface of a spiritual realm and how forgiveness is supposed to be conditional; which corrupts that authentic idea of loving forgiveness for recognition of fault within ourselves, being able to see the same flaws in others, and not holding it against them as a result; and transmutes it into this idea of humiliating concession because we refuse to recognize the fault within ourselves, and instead project that shadow complex upon others, whether consciously or unconsciously, forcing them to admit their faults.
i grew up traumatized, but it's not what i choose to define my life by. my life is redeemed in Jesus Christ, there i give up my earthly family and become one of God's children, because He forgave me before i was even born, and part of accepting that grace, mercy, and forgiveness means forgiving myself and forgiving others because we were all born in iniquity and deserve death for our inherent transgression against God's law.
