Loneliness is the original sin of man

American family dramas, with such intense conflicts and contradictions, are very different from the Japanese family dramas I have seen before. But the core is similar; what kind of collective is the family? Beyond our genetic connection, what exactly are we responsible for each other? Are we connected by a moral obligation or an inseparable emotion? Whether we truly love each other deeply or are we forced to.
Maybe we all have a love-hate relationship at all times.
Children who are as happy as my childhood and as close to their parents as I am now, have deliberately begun to add a sense of alienation to their family. We truly became two families and I was truly independent of my parents. And this division makes me feel ashamed and irresistible at the same time.
I don't have any shameful things to hide like the family in the show. My family of origin is ordinary and happy, and my parents and I understand each other without disturbing each other.
Why did I choose to stay away?
Perhaps loneliness is the original sin of man.
