Rita Avila, nagbigay-opinyon sa usaping 'honor thy mother and father' sa social media

• A netizen sparked widespread discussion on Threads by questioning why people constantly cite a certain verse from the Bible about parents
• Veteran actress Rita Avila eventually joined the thread to share her raw and insightful perspective
• Rita noted the author's question on how a child can truly love an abusive parent, pointing out that obedience driven by trauma is fear instead
• Emphasizing generational healing, Rita stated that parents need to heal first which went viral

Rita Avila recently chimed in on a thought-provoking conversation regarding biblical verses on parenting and filial respect.

On the social media platform Threads, a netizen posted a question reflecting on how scripture is often quoted unequally within households:

"Bakit laging 'Honor thy mother and father' at hindi 'Do not provoke your children'?"

Joining the discussion, Rita (@msritaavila) offered a grounded, psychological insight drawn from literature she had encountered:

"May nabasa akong book na how can a child truly love a parent who has been so bad to the child? Di raw love o honor sa parent yun kundi fear. Kinekwestiyon nung author yung 'Honor thy parents' sa 10 Commandments."

"OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MISS RITA, sana alam rin 'to ng lahat ng parents. 🥺"
