It is a deep area of thought and like in African countries India is also a place where family is very important. And for the most part I agree with you. However my balance is a bit more dynamic than what you highlight. Specifically I do feel that even a loving family can work to your detriment, just because they are not aware of the possibilities or about the reality of the current modern world. So they might end up being protective and cut off the winds of your dreams and imagination. i cannot find fault with them as they are are pushing for your best as they see it. But we should probably rebel a bit and still do as we think is right for us, cause finally if we grow and are successful we will be better able to serve the family unit. I did not rebel too much and am currently in a decent job and can take decent care of my family. My backbencher friends rebelled a lot and they had to hustle in real life and were successful, and not are doing extremely well. And their families who used to look at them as black sheep are very proud of them today.

Again what you have written resonates deeply with me, and at each level of familial relations positions are sometimes taken along the lines you highlighted. But I just wanted to showcase a situation where we may seem to be working against our family, or they may perceive it that way; but on the whole we really aren't.
