What are the duties of children toward their parents?
To love and respect them as long as they live.

Note the Commandment does not specify "love". It says "honor thy father and thy mother".

Imagine those millions (billions?) who would be in violation of this Commandment otherwise.

Also this the Fifth Commandment in the Hebrew Bible.

What does the word “love” mean? Note that in this context, it is a transitive verb.
