扺觸父兄

扺觸父兄

抵,對也。觸,犯也。凡語言詞氣,問微有不順,卽是抵觸,比之暗侮爲尤甚。說父兼母在内,說兄兼尊長在内。暗侮還在背後,抵觸却在面前。葢父當孝,兄當敬,卽父兄有過,亦宜幾諫。抵觸則彼言來,此言往,如相抵摘;彼怒解,此怒發,如有觸犯,孝悌之謂何?試思生我劬勞,恩同罔極,分形一體,痛癢相關。縱父或私僻,兄或侵凌,只宜委曲解喻,反已自修。萬一執迷不返,亦須和氣平心,久自調治。若少有忿氣疾言遽色,至於抵觸,根木旣虧,必爲神人厭絕之矣。此在愚蠢者,因父兄過於愛護,平日問原不曉得孝悌二字;在賢能者,因父兄略於檢點,平日間只看得父兄不是,所以不免此失。果能明大義,必不出於是矣。孟子曰:親親,仁也;敬長,義也。
