What is foolish filial piety? Is there such a thing as filial piety? It means that it is unreasonable for a son not to be filial to his parents.

Ignorance of filial piety refers to ignorance of things.

Filial piety: blindly making great sacrifices to parents at the expense of the interests of oneself, spouse and children.

In ordinary families, parents tend to favor their children. The depth of the relationship between parents and children cannot be forced. Some like their eldest sons, some take care of the elderly, some prefer boys to girls, and some parents indulge and favor children who are not very successful. Children who are not concerned always want to be recognized, and children who have not received attention and love since childhood. In order to get a little care from parents, it is easy to develop into a dutiful son who caters to parents.

Everyone will sing a song "Go Home Often", and the lyrics say, Go home often and help my mother brush chopsticks and wash dishes. The parents of people our age are both over 500 years old and sick, but they still work hard for us. We have a family and a career. We should always go home to accompany our parents. Of course, we should not just pay lip service. We should take practical action. Cook meals for parents, help mom wash dishes and clean the kitchen, take out the garbage, and help them wash clothes and wipe the floor. Comfort them and reassure them is the filial piety we should pay.

Some people can't see this at all, because they have adapted to the habit of their parents taking over things, playing games on the sofa as soon as they finish eating, and adapting to children who haven't grown up. On the one hand, I keep saying that I want to make my parents happy, not against my parents' ideas and not responsible for my parents. In my opinion, this is the biggest stupidity.
