QUOTE(xpole @ Apr 23 2025, 01:45 PM) What makes you think that when you're old, your children will take care of you? Will you ?It's so delusional when you make kids for your retirement plan. So many cases when their adult children working outside malaysia, leaving their parents alone. So many cases parents live in other state and their kids rarely visit them. Some of them only visit them during festive season only. Having kids are not guaranteed that your adult kids will visit you every single week KIDS ARE NOT YOUR FREAKING RETIREMENT PLAN. I would, for sure in a heartbeat. No doubt. This post has been edited by cms: Apr 23 2025, 02:11 PM riken.me liked this post

QUOTE(diffyhelman2 @ Apr 23 2025, 12:16 PM) SJKC day day teach confucian filial piety value since 5000 years ago end up old folks home paling ramai terbuang is type ... 20/80 Modern school can only give the most basic exposure; the real cultivation is at home. We should stop blaming the school for moral etiquette guidance; this stuff should be guided by the family. School should focus more on other subjects.~ This is the extract of the Chapter 1 from Chapter 1 (序致篇) of The Yan Family Instructions (颜氏家训) ~ one of the most extensively written family instruction for Yan's lineage / clan: Insight from Chapter 1: Cultivating Virtue Through Daily Practice Core Insight: Yan Zhitui emphasizes that virtue is not merely theoretical knowledge, but rather a set of behaviors and values cultivated and reinforced through daily practice. He identifies key virtues—such as sincerity, filial piety, humility, respect, frugality, kindness, generosity, and harmony—that must become habitual and natural, woven seamlessly into one's everyday actions and interactions. Why it Matters: Virtue becomes authentic only when it is consistently lived out. By intentionally embedding virtues into daily life, these values move from abstract ideals to concrete realities, shaping character, guiding decisions, and stabilizing family relationships. Modern Application: Today, people often struggle with aligning their daily actions with their stated values. Yan’s instruction reminds us to bridge the gap between knowing and doing. Regular self-reflection, practical rituals (such as family meetings or deliberate acts of kindness), and clear teaching by example can transform family dynamics and positively shape future generations. diffyhelman2 liked this post

while i emphatic to her story, it is still one sided and there maybe aspects not shared. In any case, abandon in hospital is not the correct way to do it. arkasi liked this post

QUOTE(netflix2019 @ Apr 23 2025, 10:40 AM) Thats why la. If u are single no kids. Be nice to your niece/nephew. This. My late aunt, when she was sick, every fortnight also I went to visit her for almost a year.Buy gaming rig 15k as graduation gift. They will remember u their whole life. Use brain a bit. In family also must do PR. To be perfectly honest. Not easy to end up old sick and alone. U must have done a lot of fuck up to reach that level. She was my “mum” in KL since my parents were in Kelate. Register in Lembah Beringin also she and her husband send me. Every semester holiday also they pick me up and send me back. Even job interview also my uncle drove me to the location (if not accessible by LRT). My other aunties & uncles. Sick also I don’t give a damn. Die only I go pay respect. That’s about it.

QUOTE(Skidd Chung @ Apr 23 2025, 01:36 PM) Then don't. Any law that can protect me from getting emotionally abused?No one is forcing you to. In Asia, socially we are obligated to care for our own parents and family, unless they are abusive towards us. If you don't care for this kind of obligation, then just ignore it. There is no law compelling you to care for your elderly parents other than societal norms. They can shame you for it, and if you don't care, it won't affect you other than people might start seeing you differently. |
