The role of older brothers and sisters on Libertas.
The goal of the household, thus the en-drek, en-drek-a, and all the kesh-u in the house, is to maximise the earning potential of the highest earners while simultaneously developing the rest of the family. This means that the culture surrounding older kesh-u and keshi-u insists that they do as much care and discipline of the younger members as is consistent with their education and work development.
The implication of this is that younger kesh-u, from a very young age, become accustomed to obeying their older siblings. This holds an obvious tension with the idea of Kesh liberty, but is a common theme of household struggles…
Thank you for reading Von’s Substack. I would love it if you commented! I love hearing from readers, especially critical comments. I would love to start more letter exchanges, so if there’s a subject you’re interested in, get writing and tag me!
Being ‘restacked’ and mentioned in ‘notes’ is very important for lesser-known stacks so… feel free! I’m semi-retired and write as a ministry (and for fun) so you don’t need to feel guilty you aren’t paying for anything, but if you enjoy my writing (even if you dramatically disagree with it), then restack, please! Or mention me in one of your own posts.
If I don’t write you back it is almost certain that I didn’t see it, so please feel free to comment and link to your post. Or if you just think I would be interested in your post!
Thanks again, God Bless, Soli Deo gloria,
Von
Older Kesh-u
