It is also a blessing to be able to honor the elderly and have the opportunity to honor them. No matter whether you are poor or rich, as long as you feel it with your heart, you will truly and beautifully find that filial piety to the elderly is actually an indelible happiness and touch. Everyone should cherish this happiness, and don't wait until "the son should be filial and his relatives are not there" to regret it.
Filial piety to the elderly means being kind to yourself. As the ancients said, I am filial to my parents and my son is filial to x b22:
For me. If a person doesn't know how to honor the elderly, will his children honor him under his example?
Filial piety to the elderly is also a kind of social morality, which can promote the harmonious development of society. Mencius said: "everyone is close to his relatives, and he is long, and the world is peaceful." In other words, "as long as everyone loves their parents and respects their elders, then the world will naturally be peaceful."
There are also many poems about filial piety to the elderly in history.
"Good meals are given to parents first, and good clothes are given to parents first";
"Don't teach parents to suffer" (don't let parents suffer, don't let parents share their worries)
"What do you love, you can do; If you hate your parents, you should do your best to prepare for them. What parents hate, be careful to get rid of it for them)
So how should we honor the elderly in real life? Some people think that letting the elderly live a carefree life is filial piety. I think we should listen to the teachings of our elders, don't contradict them casually, and be reasonable if we have different ideas; Be strict with yourself, be considerate of the hard work of your elders, and let them worry about themselves as little as possible; We should also solve problems for our parents and try our best to care for and help them when they are sick and have difficulties. We should study hard, study hard, and let our parents worry less about their studies.
In short, true filial piety should be reflected in words and deeds. "Filial piety is the first virtue" Who believes that a person who does not know how to honor the elderly will be a qualified social citizen in the future?
