Filial Piety

An example from Anderson, South Carolina:

Authorities say a 15-year-old Anderson teen died in a one-car crash after visiting his father's grave.

Anderson County Chief Deputy Coroner Charlie Boseman says Matthew McClellion was speeding when he lost control of his 1998 Mercedes convertible, and the car flipped several times. Boseman says the teen died on impact about 8 p.m. Friday. Matthew was the only person in the car.


Wikipedia has a substantial entry on the subject of filial piety, the act of honoring one's parents.

You know, as tragic as it is when a young teenager dies, this example is a hell of a lot more inspiring than the usual kid being gunned down in a senseless killing, or a kid killed from a drug overdose.
