The pre-african tradition, there has been a long range of morality ans sanctity than it is obtainable these days.
Those days even without the bible and the gospel of our lord Jesus..children are taught to obey and respect their parent,failure by any one attract communal crititism,
This was because they knew the value and blessings attached to.
In the old testament before jacob,abraham and isaac ,and all fathers in general,before they die,they usually delegate thier blessings to thier children.in most cases the likes of Rubben will not be blessed but cursed.
What a mess.
If you are true to your parent, you will get to know where your family lands are..
There are many blessing and reason to obey our parent..
God help us all
