Confucianism sits astride Korea and Korean culture like a gigantic iron cage. It informs and affects almost every aspect of Korean life. It is Korea's glorious cultural heritage and It it the poison that infects and corrupts the entire Korean experience. All Koreans live and experience life within the Confucian jail and they will reject, severely criticize and castigate any Korean person who seeks to escape from the jail or refuses to live locked behind it's bars. Confucianism is the root of all evil.
In the interest of full disclosure, i must admit that I am a Taoist......And, like LaoTze and ChuangTze, I find most things Confucian to be deplorable. More to follow......
