ottosan, okasan.

When your mother has grown older,
When her dear, faithful eyes
No longer see life as they once did,
When her feet, grown tired,
No longer want to carry her as she walks,
Then lend her your arm in support, escort her with happy pleasure—
the hour will come when, weeping, you must accompany her on her final walk.

And if she asks you something, then give her an answer.
And if she asks again, then speak!
And if she asks yet again, respond to her, not impatiently, but with gentle calm.

And if she cannot understand you properly, explain all to her happily.
The hour will come, the bitter hour, when her mouth asks for nothing more.

-Adolf Hitler

if a bastard like Hitler can understand what is filial piety,
then i don't see the point why we don't.

don't complain when you parents nag too much,
don't fuss it when you parents restrict you to something;
for they do everything for our own good.

today we have them around,
for us to complain, for us to rebut;
but years later, when we matured and grow up,
do they still have the energy to scold us?
do they still have the might,
to guide us and lecture us in our journey of life?

today we have them around,
yet we don't see he importance of them.
30 years down the road,
only then we'll understand the pain.
