Everyone has old age, parents today, is our tomorrow. Treating the elderly well is treating ourselves well.
Our parents, are mortal, not perfect, to them love, respect, is our most basic moral behavior; to them understanding, tolerance, is our most basic filial piety.
When parents are old, more tolerance for parents, can you do it?
If you can tolerate your parents, you should do the “five don’t hate”.

Don’t resent your parents’ incompetence:
When you were young, your parents used to be very energetic and vigorous; when you were middle-aged, your parents were able to fight and jump and drive away wolves and tigers; however, nowadays, your parents are already aging, really old! They can’t even peel a piece of candy. This is still young in our view, parents really too “incompetent”, please do not mind, we will all have this day.
Don’t resent your parents’ nagging:
Some words they always say over and over again, and like to ask about everything. How do they know, it is their own children’s care “no matter what”, only to attract the children’s boredom. Understand them and don’t look at them with disdain and contempt.
Don’t resent your parents’ complaints:
As parents get older, they lose their ability to do things. Although they are not able to do anything, when they see their children do something that is not to their liking, they will often complain a little, which is normal, so please do not take them seriously.
Don’t resent your parents’ slowness:
Elderly people always speak slowly and forgetfully, sometimes forgetting the next sentence after the previous one; elderly people always walk slowly and unsteadily, sometimes staggering. You should know that they were not like this when they were young, so please be more patient and help them when necessary, but do not mock or scold them.
Don’t resent your parents’ illnesses:
People are weak in old age, and there are many illnesses in old age. People are very painful when they are sick, perhaps parents will moan when they are sick, perhaps you will let you take time off from work to take care of, will let you give up farm work when you are busy, and even long-term bed-ridden parents need you to stay around and wait every day. Please think differently, put yourself in your shoes, don’t be annoyed, don’t jump out of your skin, raising a child is to prevent old age, this is just that you haven’t had your turn for a while.
Do children must not forget these quotes: “October fetal grace, three lives to repay the light.”; “Mother’s suffering children have not seen. “A mother’s suffering is not seen by her children, and a child’s suffering is not felt by his mother.” “When a mother is a hundred years old, she always remembers her eighty sons.” “Who knows my parents’ love and suffering?”
All along, mother’s love is like a boat, carrying us from youth to maturity; father’s love is like the sea, giving us a happy harbor. Mother’s true love, ignited the hope of our hearts; father’s love, drummed up the sail of our voyage.
Today, our elderly parents need us this “stick”, if even this can not do, will not be ashamed of parents, pain in the face?
None of us wants to see our parents being embarrassed in front of us, right?
Our parents’ kindness and hard work, we can not repay them for the rest of our lives. To be able to respect them more, more care, more understanding, more tolerance, is our most expensive character, the best practice!
