I live in a very poor country. People are poor not only in material possession but also in morality. We are jealous to one another and not only that we treat one another in bad manner. For example, in my place, rich people treat others as not more than animals. If you want to get help from government office, you need to give some gift whether it is small or not. It is a must. Worse thing is if you want to get flight ticket, you need to bring at least some bottle of wine or some kind of gift. Even in education, if students' parents give some gift to the teacher, that student will get first position in the class. I do not know why we have such kind of morality. Can we change it? Do other countries have such kind of morality? I feel very bad when I was treated every day.

Obedience to parents

Monday, August 25, 2008 3:23:02 AM

faith, parents., religion, honor

In every religion, it is taught that children should obey their parents. Children should give respect to their parents, including old age people. In Many Asian countries, children give special honor to their old age people. They bow down before them and they treat them in a very special way.

This morning, I read the Bible from Deuteronomy. It says, "Obey your parents that you will have long life in this world." When I read this passage, it does not say simply to give respect to our parents and old age people. But what it really means is to follow the steps of our forefathers. Not to go astray from what our parents believe and what our parents teach us.

I learn that we should keep our parents' faith and at the same time, parents should teach children to know their faith
