16. Filial Piety

Companion video to my 'East and West' video regarding Confucius, Confucianism and filial piety. My theory being that the modern Asian inheritance of Confucius is out of balance with nature, and can learn from the west in this way (and conversely we can be more respecting of our elders while retaining our own generational worries and opinions, and ability to vocalise them without reprisal).

The modern inheritance of Confucius (partially a problem of Confucius' teaching - in 'The Analects' - themselves, and other less well-known works) in South Korea, particularly, is distinctly pernicious since it leaves almost nothing for the younger neophyte to create for themselves in order to forge an own distinct identity, socially, politically and philosophically.
