All of this is based on the ancient value that the "collective is more important than the individual". Thus the saying a marriage is a union of two families".
This can be applicable to Western culture in regards to women and girls. Let me change that phrase a bit.
"The collective is far more important than the individual's desires, needs, and opinions." This is very brutal on Western women and girls. They are peer pressured whenever dating someone occurs. They are very self-conscious of who they date. They also believe every single gossip, rumor, and word of mouth that comes their way. Because of all this, they jump into the collective and stay there.
I have yet to meet a woman or a girl who really dated someone they really wanted to date despite what her father, mother, manager, friend, or co-worker said. They will cave to these people. They are not very strong mentally to withstand the peer pressure applied to by their peers.
Historically, Eleanor Roosevelt was capable of withstanding peer pressure from everyone else when Teddy Roosevelt was around. He was her strength, her beacon, her pillar. One day, a Jesuit asked to talk with Eleanor Roosevelt alone, in private. He forced her hand, and got her to compromise her stance. She caved in to this Jesuit by pressure and by extension, external pressure from the Catholic Church. She came out and asked Teddy to do what the Jesuit asked her to do.
Do you understand what I'm saying? When they are dating someone or are married to someone, so long as their person is in their orbit and view, they are capable of withstanding peer pressure; but so many tend to believe the collective is far more important that eventually it only takes a great person to really see their significant other as being far more important than the collective. That person is very rare today.

It still doesn't detract from the fact that if you're old enough to have a relationship, you don't rely on your parents to make the relationships for you. Otherwise, how else will a relationship survive?
Sure, in courtship, it matters that the parents and family agree. The Philippines encourage this. But in other Asiatic countries, courtships don't matter. The way wealth needs to be defined in order to marry appropriately to "one's station" is as old as the 1500s. There are red flags in Zhang Ziyi's mother's comments:
1. She's cultivating wealth through her own children and wishes to remain wealthy. 2. Generational wealth only exists so long as wealthy people marry other wealthy people. This can bring in more benefits in terms of money, investment, and income. 3. Rich people, most of them, always marry those who are as wealthy as they are.
Even if a rich person found a poor person, certain things follow:
1. The poor person suddenly becomes wealthy and then robs their spouse of their wealth. 2. The family shuns the wealthy inheritor and stripes said person of wealth because he or she married poorly. 3. Other factors that revolve around wealthy-poor relationships tend to be seen as less than optimistic.
Good on Zhang Ziyi to marry who she wanted but can she handle losing her wealth? If her man turns out to be a con artist, steals her money, or runs off with it, then her mother would always be "100% right", no matter what Ziyi says.
It is.Alcohol is one of the main drivers of societal ills if one does not control their drinking. How many guys…
It's true. My grandfather was an abusive drunk who drank a lot of alcohol. You know what he did behind closed doors? Beat my grandmother and mother. Probably raped them too. They still stayed with him until the day he died. He gave up alcohol because his lawyer told him that I would put him in jail and pled guilty. He was given anger management, counseling, and forced to change.
I've seen tons of men drink alcohol, beat their wives. I even have seen a man drunk rape a woman behind a dumpster behind a bar. I've seen men get into blackout fights beating the crap out of each other, only to wakeup and ask, "WTF happened to me?"
You cannot be a million years older than me. It's impossible. Either you are older than me or you're younger than me. The max years, known to us, is 122 in this day and age. So if you're not a millennial, you must be older, predating the years of disco.
Watching Chinese dramas, writing, the poems of WB Yeats, travelling, tiramisu are apples to oranges comparison. You're failing in that comparison. Alcohol is not chemically stable for most people. Most people, as in very few can handle drinking in moderation. We have people who beat other people, rape other people, and do all sorts of crimes. We have homeless who are drunk, doing drugs.
Yeah, there was a man I knew once as a friend.. He told me that his friend was religious in the past, got drunk one day, then shot up cocaine into his body. Guess what happened? He became an addict and never recovered.
1st Edit: Great. Do I care? Nope.
2nd Edit: WAIH?
3rd Edit: Nope. I don't attend church. Always assuming can make you look like an ass; quit doing that or you'll embarrass yourself.

One cannot normalize alcohol's consumption levels. You either abstain from it or be consumed by it.
Alcohol is a strong drink a-raging and it cannot be tamed. If you think moderation can be done over long periods of time, alcohol has already turned you into someone else meaner, abusive, and crazier.
It's chemical properties elicit addiction, a change in one's neurological thinking, and can often give you cirrhosis if you drink too much of it.
I have been in an alcohol famine for 10+ years with the occasional once in a blue moon. I don't miss it. The fact you want to normalize it shows you do miss it; the sad part? It isn't even that important to keep living life with it.
>quitting alcohol and coffeeGood for him. Is it newsworthy though?
It is.
Alcohol is one of the main drivers of societal ills if one does not control their drinking. How many guys have smashed their huge ass trucks into a smaller car, its ass raising into the air then slamming its tires down to the ground so hard that the force of the impact was so loud on the streets by pedestrians? I've seen it. All because that driver was drunk. My stepsister was driving to her local job, got sideswiped by a huge ass truck and flipped on its top. Guy who was arrested was found with a huge 24 pack of beer cans, most of them opened and thrown into the passenger side.
Then there's the guys who drink, hurt others including women and children. They even beat them so hard, wake up the next morning then say "Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to! It was the alcohol talking".
Korea, according to a Korean friend of mine, is "a nation of drunkards". Is this the image that South Korea wants to represent to the world once more people are more aware of Korea's seedy underbelly and its whole host of probelms with "weak laws" that don't protect women and children?
Yeah... This is not only a step in the right direction for Choo Young Woo; but all actors and actresses should follow suit.
It's good to be passionate, I like your style. The other option is for celebrities to be as tolerant as possible…
Tolerant? Not do anything? What does tolerance have to do with not doing anything?
This is exactly why Lee Hye Ri is in that mess ten months ago. Taking proactive action is exactly what forces the cockroaches to flee the scene but get caught by the Big Boot of the Law. Korea plays by different rules than the US does.
Your opinion doesn't matter to celebs. You know that, right? They can use SNS if they wanted to. They can look up stuff online if they wanted to. Does your opinion have the badge of authority? No.
Older? LMAO! To me, she looks like one "hot Korean Mommy" who looks younger than she is in the role on Moving. Those glasses, damn, Mi-hyun; stop being so attractive as a mommy!

All these actors really are memorable in their craft regarding their characters in the original Goblin: The Lonely and Great God.

Of course she's not my friend. The fact is you think you matter in the celeb world. You really don't. Neither do I.
