Question asked by Dessert flower
Our parents are powerful objects whom we have to accord respects. When situations are not conducive/are hard for us to do what we need to do, what is the best solution?
When we disrespect them, we generate bad karma for ourselves.
My questions are:
1. Is it true that NO MATTER under what situations, as long as we disrespect our parents, we are accumulating bad karma for ourselves? Taking an example, the parents are hard to get along with. So we naturally will argue and fight back, and when we do this, do we generate bad karma?
2. I have a friend who moves out as she finds her parents hard to get along with. Since she tends to argue with her parents when she stayed with her, she thinks that by moving out, this will minimise or even cut down the friction times and so as the bad karma. She does not go back to her parents' house that frequently now. Is this right to do so?

Dear Dessert flower
We all are bound by the three poisons : hatred, desire and ignorance
and often times, we feel these three poisons at work in us the most when we are with the people who are “closest” to us.
It can never be right to disrespect our parents, argue, fight, be angry and hold on anger. Due to the close karmic connections we have to our parents, the demerits is greater when negativities are generated towards them.
It is not easy to change things especially if it has been bad for years… however, every day is another day for us to change the way we think, the way we interact with others.
Here’s a book you friend might want to consider reading.
