Fillial Piety

A dumb excuse used by mostly Asian parents to justify why they think they deserve respect. Please don't use this excuse...... EVER.

Sooooooooo why exactly do you expect your kids to take care of you when you're old?

Filial Piety

Filial Piety means to be good to one's parents; to take care of one's parents; to engage in good conduct, not just towards parents but also outside the home so as to bring a good name to one's parents and ancestors; to show love, respect, and support; to display courtesy; to ensure male heirs; to uphold fraternity among brothers; to wisely advise one's parents, including dissuading them from moral unrighteousness; to display sorrow for their sickness and death; and to bury them and carry out sacrifices after their death.

Confucian scholars taught filial piety.
