Sure... you are enculturated to feel that way; there is nothing wrong with that.. it is the way it is here. BUT-It is not like this everywhere -- only in individualistic cultures. We can sit around and disagree...but that is the way it is in that culture... they think some of the things that we do are down right wacky, too. Their way wouldnt work here... and our way wouldnt work there...
Not hiding ones identity doesnt mean they dont have unconditional love. You read it one way... but it isnt really what it means there.... knowing who you are and not attaching a false document/identity to a person doesnt mean they arent loved. On the contrary it SHOULD come across as TOTAL love and respect... because rather than turning the child into something THEY want it is accepting him or her as is, with open arms...
Just another way to look at it.
