Obedience to Parents is Absolute

Question
Is obedience to parents absolute except in matters that anger Allah Almighty, even if it is illogical, such as performing additional duties towards sisters?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: We must honor our parents with all the strength we can, but we must choose what is best for our lives even if it does not align with our parents' wishes, while maintaining a great deal of kindness towards them. And God knows best.
