I agree we have to adjust to our society while at the same time being true to ourselves.

I wore/wear a suit to work when required, and have played the game of adjusting to my culture all my life. I still do today. I am the most normal looking guy you ever saw. I dress conservatively and have short hair and am clean. I am polite at work and never discuss politics or philosophy. And if someone died and people are praying I honor their behavior.

Everyone in my family does that. All of them better than I. But that is our contribution to a stable society. We all also obey the laws and respect the laws.

But in our private lives we recognize all cultures and countries are contrived and we are all human primates living on the planet earth and all people and the entire earth is our responsibility i.e. not just our tribe or territory.

And we all see a larger reality than our culture outlines.
