Respect to parents? Plz dont count things that they do for kids its not my question?
Specially islam mentions this.. But i dont see any reason to respect parests more than normal ppl. Whatever they have done to me was their absolute duty. Even if u get a pet u will take care of it.. Moreover parents are ppl who brought u to this world.. They are responsible for ur suffering which is more than happiness always... So why do we have to respect them more than other ppl?
Plz dont start counting the things which parents usually do for theirs kids i already know them.. And moreover my parents never care about me in financial or emotional needs however they r rich.. And my answer is the " reason" why i should respect them. So dont copy words from Quran etc.. I know all of them and my question is a big "why" to all these.

I am not Islamic.There is a difference between "showing" respect to your parents, and "truly" respecting your parents. Some parents ignore their duties and abuse or neglect their children and yet they demand that the child shows them respect. I don't think the child actually respects their parent. They fear their parent. If this is not true in your case, it is very good for your self-respect to honor your parents. They are unique to you because you are made as a product of both of them. You are made from them. Try to focus on the things that are admirable in them no matter how small it seems. Now think about the admirable qualities in yourself. Shouldn't such a respectable person such as yourself have the quality of honoring your parents? I know I respect someone who honor their parents.

Really? Do you know how many pets are dropped at humane shelters when the owners no longer want them or the responsibility? Do you know how many pets are dropped off on the side of the road and just left there? Do you know how many children are put up for adoption because parents didn't want them or care? Do you know how many abortions happen because people don't feel the need or want to raise a child?
You have a lot to learn about what it really takes to be a good parent. You also have a lot to learn about respect, responsibilities and life.
