    Sharing your beliefs with family is pretty common. Would you not want your relatives to reflect the way you see the world?

    Just because it’s going against the generational direction doesn’t make it somehow wrong.

    Nor is making a relative upset necessarily wrong.

    Now, freed from the expectations, worldview, and belief systems of a religion, she is able to choose her own way of living?

    I don’t really see how this is a negative. Religion gives easy, comforting, often bullshit answers to difficult questions. Who are you supposed to be? What’s the right thing to do? How should you treat others? What happens after I die?

      In the same way that throwing a child into the ocean is “free to learn how to swim”, sure. You can’t go to all this work to convince someone you are right, and then as soon as they start listening and agreeing with you, abandon them to despair. If you want to help someone see the world more clearly, you also have to show them how to handle this new world, especially if it’s your own family you’re trying to help.

        I do agree that abandonment is cringe.

        On their own journey, I’d be wary of introducing my own biases.

        I feel that easily could’ve been excluded from the comic either for the author’s narrative, or simply to keep it a 3 panel. Could also just be alone time to process.
