Do you think individualism being sacrificed for family and community is necessarily a good thing? I can see a whole lot of problems with that approach.
Real progress is usually always brought about by 'individuals'. People who are willing to step out. Error multiplies and is difficult to eradicate if everyone is subjugating themselves to keeping the peace with family and community.
Selfishness is not a good thing. Insisting on your own way, even if it's damaging to others. But just being a face in the crowd doesn't change the world, either. Jesus didn't seem to advocate not rocking the boat.
Taking care of family, absolutely. Jesus mandated that. But sacrificing your own individuality..... I'm not sure how profitable that is.
