Do you still try to earn people's favor out of filial piety?

I don't get why people lie about health just to get money.

I don't get how adults could expect the younger generation to try to earn their grace, their favor, if they don't even give effort to show themselves righteous. If the adults we're supposed to follow live recklessly with no dignity or grace, they aren't setting good examples. They don't respect themselves.

So, as children, showing filial piety and obeying their ways and schemes would even be wrong because then it leads to more generation of evil doers and schemers.

So how does one live? How does one react, maintaining grace and self-respect even if the authority over us are in the wrong?

I think it this is why us, the younger generations, must learn how to decide and stand up for ourselves.

Sometimes, we'd have to shame the authorities to get them to change. Sometimes, there is no other way but to fight to let them see reason. And if we've tried twice and they still don't see the error of their ways, we set ourselves apart, living to the standards we created for ourselves and not following theirs.

I think the world needs people who knows not to be treated wrong. Don't be too sweet on people who do wrong. Not just for you, but for them too.

People who are wrong are wrong. Doesn't matter what position or blood or relation they hold over you. Don't let them change your mind into accepting wrong as right.

I wonder if you see it. How many of the things that were wrong in the past are suddenly becoming or have become the trend nowadays. Not because they're suddenly right, but because the crowd who do wrong wants to be accepted by society.

When dignity and true morality are compromised, do you still think it is worth it? Children are looking. What happens later now that they are living in a world with adults following the wrong and naming it right?

"filial piety" Here in Australia we call that 'Felatio' but then, we're not a well read lot.

Authoritative parenting will always backfire because kids eventually gain the ability to reason and see how much of their time and energy was wasted on trying to please someone who doesn't even respect them. People who only care about themselves deserve to be alone, even if that means their own family walks out on them
