Dear Mina:

I appreciate you answering my questions. I ask questions not necessarily because I don’t understand: I am very familiar with the concept of Someone being someone successful as you described it. The concept is not unique to the Korean/ Asian culture. I ask the questions I ask because I challenge social conventions, such as being a Someone or a No-one.

There is more than one item in your last post for me to challenge. I will challenge one. That one item is the following statement that you made: “My parents does loves me, I am aware of that. They just have a hard time expressing themselves”-

My challenge:

When a “loving” person fails to express their love, they fail at loving, same as not loving.

When a “loving” person rejects their “loved one”, the “loved one” is not loved and the “loving” person is not loving.

When a person is not loving, that person is not a Someone.
