Filial piety is only a kind of love, and all love is to feel the heart, to be emotional, not like doing business, always grasping the abacus to calculate, you give me two or five, I should pay you ten. In other words, filial piety is emotional, not rational, there are many loving mothers in the world, at the expense of everything to maintain her baby, there are many babies in the world, no matter how poor and worried the situation, can always bury their heads in the arms of the mother, get the protection and comfort that can not be obtained elsewhere, this is the origin of filial piety, this is the origin of all love, this filial piety is all stimulated by sincerity, is my so-called asking morality.
The confrontation between love and reason is not only in the hearts of the characters, but also between the creators. It is a battle without a victor, which not only promotes the progress of society and the soundness of human nature, but also leaves countless beautiful lace for the dirty era of industrial civilization. Emotion itself is irrational, it is like the left hand of a person holding a sword and the right hand holding a sword, and their confrontation is an unavoidable sadness, which is called helplessness, a kind of strangle of oneself.
As written in this book, emotions and intellect are both at odds. Emotions contain love, hate, affection, evil, etc., all that is called out to the heart; Reason has different categories such as jurisprudence, axiom, wit, and deceit. It's hard not to get involved.
Filial piety is not a reward, so it is not an obligation, and filial piety is regarded as an obligation, so filial piety is reduced from the morality of asking the heart to asking reason; The morality of the up. Many people are filial to their parents, not because they are emotional, but only because they think that all sons must be filial to their parents in order to become a body. The meaning of filial piety has been lost.
