并不是这样的,中国传统的道德观都有它很实际的一面,打个比方,如果父母因为喜欢赌博而不断向你要钱,你为了满足他们而想尽办法弄钱给他们,那不是孝顺,那叫“愚孝”。

It's not like that at all, all the moral values in Chinese tradition have their practical side, for example, if your parents continuously ask you for money because they like to gamble, and you do everything you can to give money to them to satisfy them, that's not called filial piety, it's just blind filial obedience.
