"Today my youngest son who a few days ago turned three was sitting with me at the park when a sparrow sat in front of us. My son asked 21 time what it was and I answered all 21 times that it was... a sparrow. I hugged him every single time he asked me the same question..Again and again...Without getting mad, felling affection for my innocent liitle boy."

We are doing exactly what the son did.
He lost his patience and shouted at his dad who asked him, "What is that?" for just three times.
I did the same when I was much younger.
As time passed, I came to understanding the fact that sometimes maybe they are just trying to talk to you.
Something common between you and them (parents).
They don't need big house, or expensive car, grand dinner or billion of dollars from you.
All they need from you is just your attention and concern for them.
If you are one who is doing this to either your mom or your dad, start reflecting.
We couldn't thank them enough for bringing us into this world, for taking good care of us even before we opened our eyes, and yet we hurt them by being ignorant about what filiality is all about.
The ideal relationship between parents and children which defined in Chinese as "父慈子孝“ (fu ci zi xiao).
Translation :

父 : Parents
慈 : compassion
子 : children
孝 : filial

Meaning to say, our parents who are always being compassionate to us, we too should return it by being filial to them.
So how do we be filial?
One of the many ways is being nice when talking to them, respect when talking, and knowing what and when to say.
Do not let your emotions dominate you when you talk.
Because of emotions, you might have said something you did not even intend to say.
Remember : How we treat our parents now, our children will do the same in the future.




Recipe of the day :

“Nowadays for a man to be filial means no more than that he is able to provide his parents with food. Even hounds and horses are, in some way, provided with food. If a man shows no reverence (respect), where is the difference?”- Confucius <
