for dharma I look to the Bhagavad Gita. Krishna never says shirk your duty to family, never says be "apolitical" in favor of some unworldly ideal. if I were a monk I might be "apolitical" but I'm not a monk.

Being a monk is being a monk.
Being a householder is being a householder.
Being a fucking person is being a fucking person.
Strange indeed how some people think everyone should be a monk in deed, if not in class...
