The ancients have taught us to do kind deeds with sincerity and no expectations of rewards or benefits. However through life, we sometimes learn that past good deeds by charitable people can redound on their children or their grandchildren.
A good example today is that of Kuwait’s intention to offer 500 million dollars in oil products to US hurricane victims. According to a news report, the Kuwaiti government “took it as an opportunity to show their gratitude to US for liberating Kuwait (from the clutches of Iraq) in 1991, with the blood of their sons”.
Indeed George Bush Senior and the US led international coalition fought a righteous war then and won accolades from the whole world. Therefore it can be said that a good deed by a father has redounded on his son.
