Re: Romeo and Juliet: Bloater Edition
You don't get it because you're lacking cultural perspective. I don't mean that in an insulting fashion, but it is important to keep a sense of broader scope when considering these issues. Family, commitment, responsibility, relationships, etc mean very different things across the world. Looking at every circumstance from a (comparatively) wealthy, privileged, Western background will blind you to base differences. Not every culture group views things like individuality and personal choice and self-indulgence the same way that Americans, Canadians, and (most) Europeans do. For some people death is preferable to living in scorn and alienation from your family unit. |
