Koreans

Let me delve into the Korean psyche for a second...

Just a thought...

I've realized that Korean people are very susceptible to outer influences. For one (big) example: Christianity. (Did You Know?: the biggest protestant church in the world is located in Seoul, Korea)

Korea's been a dominated nation for centuries. If not dominated, it was divided and corrupt. For so long, Koreans have been taught other languages and have been degraded to a level inferior to all other races and people. For so long, Koreans have only heard about the glory of their own, but have never experienced it.

Nietzsche speaks of the "herd" when he talks about people who easily follow the path laid down by society. In saying that these people are the herd, he's implying that as a population, they are mindless, and dependent.

Mindless, and dependent. Let's think. After hundreds of years of mental degradation and suppression, wouldn't it be expected that Koreans would lack the leadership and confidence to rule over themselves? What if the population is a macrocosm of a human being. A person who is mistreated from childhood almost never becomes a strong independent individual. So what about a whole group of people? What would happen to them?

My theory: Koreans are more susceptible to other ideas such as religion and economic ideologies and are passionate about them because of their inability to stand for something they believe in (because they can't believe in anything) and their dependence in whatever dominates them. Nations that used to rule over Korea have changed to ideas. Now, Koreans are not dominated by other people, but religion. A diety or a God that Korean people, again, have only heard about.

i'll get back on this, but for now,.. i'm tired
