What if you want to be filial to your parents without money?

I can understand this feeling very well. Yes, economic conditions do affect a person's quality of life. As children, it is human nature to hope to have a better income to honor parents, help parents improve their lives, and repay their parents' kindness to their upbringing. So, what if you have no money and want to honor your parents? I think so: money is not the only means to honor parents, and money without money is not the standard to measure whether to honor parents. To be filial to parents, having money is the way to have money, and having no money is the way to have no money. For example, if you have no money, you can spend time with your parents and care about their daily life and health, or chat with them to make them happy, or help them do some housework and cook them something delicious. There are various ways to do something for your parents. Love between parents and children can't be bought with money.

The ancients said: "Parents can do their best", and filial piety is filial piety. Many famous stories about filial piety in the history of China have little to do with money. For example, when he was six years old, he went to see Yuan Shu with his father. Yuan Shu took out oranges to entertain him, and managed to hide two oranges in his arms. When saying goodbye, the orange fell from the clothes to the ground. Yuan Shu sneered: "When Lu Lang came to my house, did you hide the owner's oranges when he left?" Lu Ji replied, "Mom likes oranges very much, and I want to take them back for her to taste." Yuan Shu was very surprised to see such a small child know how to honor his mother. For example, Huang Xiang in the Eastern Han Dynasty lost his mother at the age of nine. He serves his father heart and soul, and is filial. On a hot summer day, he fanned a cool pillow for his father. In the cold winter, he used his body to warm the bedding for his father. The spirit of filial piety of the ancients and many touching examples of filial piety are still worth learning and learning from today.

Confucius believes that "filial piety" is based on "respect". He said: "It's not enough to sincerely honor your parents, such as simply satisfying your parents materially. More importantly, it is necessary to' respect' and let parents get respect from their personality and get spiritual comfort. " The key to filial piety lies in having a heart that loves parents. Although you have no money at present, you can earn money and accumulate wealth slowly. As long as you have this filial piety and affection for your parents, you can't say you are unfilial. (Yao)
