I read an article in the summer vacation called "Filial Piety First". This article is profound and thought-provoking.
The article is mainly about crows, and there is also a nickname called "filial bird". It says that crows are very filial to their parents. Crows are old and can't fly, so little crows fly around every day, not afraid of wind, rain and heavy snow, always looking for food everywhere. I don't want to eat food when I find it, just like my parents fed me when I was a child. Because crows are particularly filial to their parents, the ancients called them "filial birds".
As the saying goes, filial piety is the first of all virtues. Filial piety has been the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation since ancient times. People's deepest thoughts about themselves in their life will never surpass their parents, who gave us life and raised us through hardships. Our growth embodies the efforts of our parents, and everyone grows up slowly with the care, care and hard support of their parents. If a person does not know how to repay and honor his parents who gave him life and nurtured him diligently, there is no morality at all.
However, in recent years, we have been seeing news reports from newspapers and TV that parents resort to law for child abuse. And "he (she) regardless of parents, I also have the right to ignore!" These words, spoken from a child's mouth, sound really chilling! Bill, the richest man in the world; In an interview with reporters, Gates once said: "The most unbearable thing in the world is to honor your parents."
There are also some young people who think that giving their parents food, clothing, housing and transportation, or sending a few dollars home every month is filial piety. In fact, this is not necessarily filial piety. The most important thing is to be likable, speak softly and smile. Now some young parents always smile when they pick up their children: "My good baby!" " However, they treat their parents with a different face, even a stern expression. Generally speaking, parents don't have high requirements for their children, and they don't have to be delicious. You put rice, noodles or some side dishes on the table and shout, "Mom and Dad, it's time to eat! "Parents also taste delicious. On the contrary, if you serve big fish, big meat and delicacies on the table without saying a word, even if they are delicious, parents will not enjoy them.
There is an old saying in China: "A tree wants to be quiet, but the wind will not stop. My son wants to raise and doesn't want to kiss. " It means: the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind keeps blowing and it can't be quiet; Children want to honor their parents, but their parents are dying and can't wait. Parents are unfilial at home. What's the use of regretting when they die? Therefore, we should honor our parents now, otherwise it will be too late. Filial piety starts from small things, starts from dribs and drabs, and starts from serving tea and water to parents! filial piety/mourning
Life in this world and growth in this world all originate from parents. It is our parents who give us life and nurture us to grow up. We should repay our parents' kindness all our lives.
As the old saying goes, "All virtues and filial piety come first." It means that filial piety to parents is the most important and the first virtue among all kinds of beautiful virtues of human beings. This is a natural thing for children. Our Chinese nation has had this fine tradition of respecting the elderly for thousands of years. In ancient times, the story of burying a child as a mother and abandoning an official to find a mother was enough to make people cry. Today, the story of donating a kidney to save a mother and dropping out of school as a mother is even more touching. Different times have the same theme, that is, filial piety and rewarding parents.
In fact, today, we don't need to do anything earth-shattering to honor our parents and repay them, as mentioned above. As long as we pay more attention to the little things around us and start from bit by bit, we can fully fulfill our filial piety to our parents.
I am very filial to my parents. At home, I insist on helping my parents do housework once a day and greeting them. On holidays, I have a heart-to-heart talk with my parents and rub their backs and wash their feet. Because of my mother's work, I don't have much time with her. But when my parents celebrate their birthdays, I will carefully prepare a gift for them to make them happy. In order to realize parents' expectations, we should study hard at school. When my parents are busy at work, I cook and do some housework by myself to lighten their burden. When my parents are sick, I will care about their health, send them water and medicine, and be caring and attentive, just as they care about me. When I quarrel with my parents, I will make some necessary concessions. When I do something wrong or have a conflict with my parents, I will take the initiative to admit my mistake and apologize to my parents. I often tell my parents a joke and tell them about my school, so that they can rest assured of my study.
Our parents broke their hearts and gave us a lot. They are tired and need a chair to sit on; They are thirsty and need a cup of green tea to quench their thirst; Their hearts are tired and they need a sincere heart of gratitude to comfort them. We should never take everything our parents do for granted; We should not turn a blind eye, be indifferent or even angry about our parents' hard work and infinite care. Because I understand my parents' needs, I want to act now, move my hands, move a chair for my parents to rest, and pour a glass of water for my parents to drink; Move your mouth and say a sincere and warm word to your parents to relieve their fatigue and dispel their heart disease. Filial piety is that simple. Such an easy thing will definitely make my parents happy, happy and happy. What have I done?
Affection is a comprehensive expression of a person's kindness, love and conscience; Filial piety to parents and respect for elders is the duty of being a human being, a natural virtue and a prerequisite for the formation of various moral qualities, so it has always been praised by people. Imagine, if a person can't even honor his parents and repay his upbringing, who will believe that he is a person? Who wants to deal with him? Therefore, we should honor our parents and repay them with excellent grades and healthy growth.
Gratitude is meaningful. Love makes the world go round. Parents' efforts are far higher than mountains and deeper than the sea, but as us, we only know how to ask for food and clothes. Let's become selfish and forget our parents' efforts. Learning to appreciate others is a kind of conscience and filial piety, because only in this way can there be harmony, happiness and mutual respect. With a grateful heart, look at the society, parents and relatives, and you will find how happy you are. Let go of your mind and let the drizzle wash away the pollution in your heart. Learn to be grateful, because it will make the world better and life more fulfilling.
