I'm not sure what you're saying, but I would point out that there is no such thing as an abstract family. Families are real living organisms.


I mean family is a structure built on top of real human beings. Social structures are real while everybody trusts in them, same as how any belief system works, money, etc. Even the definitions of family are different in various cultures.

What it means in real life, the happiness of family is not a sum of everyone's, but some sort of compromise.


It's complex and unquantifiable, I agree.
