Reading Log----Americanized
Filial piety is the first priority to other virtues
While reading “The Americanization of Shadrach Cohen”, what impresses me most is the attitude in which the two sons treat their father, in that it recalls me my bad temper and impatient tone when talking with parents.
Like Abel and Gottlieb in this story, sometimes I just find it difficult to get into their world and understand how things work in their mind, maybe just as how they think of me along with my “stupid” and illogical behavior.
As the freshest and the most vigorous generation in the society, I take it for granted that youths like us should seek something funny and risky, enjoy every gathering moment and keep passionate pursuing what we long for, even though at times it’s a bit far from routine. There are no less than 10 times that I quarreled with Mum about my dress and appearance. She always complains about my “too fashionable” toilette, while I’m not satisfied with her out-of-date garmenture. Although after every argument I would say sorry to Mum on the next morning, disagreeable feelings have inevitably aroused in our hearts and done harm to our relationship. In fact I always feel regretful for what I said and the bitter reaction I behave immediately I have calmed down and gone over the whole argument. But somehow I just can’t control my awful temper at that very moment, for which I’m quite annoyed with myself.
The more tolerant my parents are, the more ashamed I feel of my poor manner. As the Chinese saying goes, filial piety is the first priority to other virtues. Trying to be more amiable, which is also a symbol of maturity to me, is what I’m making great effort to achieve right now. Changing one’s character is somewhat like walking on thorn with barefoot, tough but worth trying, as long as it is advantageous to relationships between someone you really care about and yourself.
