This is really helpful. Parental authority must have its limits when it causes harm. It is heartbreaking that these texts about honoring one's parents have led to such abuse. Thanks.

Nicely explained. Thank you. I see this contrast as a condition of listen to your parents but you don’t have to be them. Times change and you are allowed to grow separately from them. It’s okay because the same applies to them and their parents. A good reminder for many parents who fail to respect the autonomy of their children.
