I Keep a Gratitude Journal

My youngest brother whatsapped me to ask if I had some kind of mooncake at home. I thought he meant he wanted to eat that and asked me to buy it for him, which I would be glad to do so. Instead, he said mum had bought quite many and asked if I wanted some and he would bring some to me.

It s a big surprise for me that they were not asking me to help them do anything. And this made me feel that having family around is good.

I understand that. Some random act of kindness by family members is nice. Done out of love and not out of obligation. I hate the notion that children need to show filial piety no matter what. If the parent had never done his duty as a parent, children should never be compelled to feel they have done a wrong when they do not buy things or give money during festive seasons.
