Honor your father and your mother.
They gave you everything you are.
From your first breath to the strength that shapes your path.
Their sacrifices, often silent, built the foundation you now stand on.
To honor them is to remember, to respect, and to carry their legacy forward.
What if they abandoned me right after I was born and I grew up in an orphanage?
That's why I said honor not love
Do my parents have any honor left after what they did?
That is for you to decide.
They might have been the worst people on earth but at least they gave life to you. Without them we wouldn't have this conversation.
We have touched upon the main issue for which I started the conversation. Your post contains an abstract rule for all occasions for all people. Therefore, it may be irrelevant to a specific situation or a specific person. I would state your thought in a different version: honor your parents if you consider it fair. In this form, we take into account the individual characteristics of the reader and leave him the freedom to make his own decisions. In the modern world, people do not accept the didactic style of religious prophets. And they are absolutely right, because abstract rules do not work.
Thank you.
Wasn't aiming to declare general rules or laws just sharing what was on my mind.
What works for me might not work for you and that is more than fine to me.
Have a good one :)
Honor all the good! But also the ugly! They made you strong and shaped you as well
Thank you mom 🙏🏼
Parents by default are like any other people though...
They made the choice to give birth to a baby, who is born 100% dependent from them, so it's their legit responsibility to grow him into health.
Otherwise it's like locking someone in a basement, and expecting them to be grateful to you because you provide a roof, water, and food.
Also parents are in 99% of cases the reason why people's minds are fucked up.
So there is no reason to honour your parents just because they gave birth to you, that's something anyone can do, literally.
Parenting is a lost art, and "savages" in the amazon forest probably do it much better than "civilized people". All of this coming from someone who is far from being an ideal parent.
But all in all, happy mother's day 🤣
Rothbard would argue that a parent has no obligation to put in the work to sustain the existence of another human being, even his own offspring.
I don't agree on that but I still value that I have been brought up by my parents. Even for all the wrong they did.
I could have been off so much worth and that is what I am grateful for.
