Yoda straight up tying to DIE to get out of answering Luke about being Vader's son

I couldn't stop laughing on this:
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/b8AWMDCzYuBDLzM7/?mibextid=adzO7lI sometimes think that Luke Skywalker was so disrespectful to Yoda during his training on Dagobah.This maybe due to the fact that he wasn't raised to respect the Jedi. He wasn't raised in the Jedi Temple and wasn't taught to respect his teachers. He didn't have a Jedi culture or a normal upbringing. And he's still a young outcast who displays some resentment and disdain for authority in the first movie. This is quite normal for people of his age who have not had any special education, and sometimes those who have not had any.
In addition, he has become a fast, crashing, boot of his training, so Yoda's goal is to teach him a good thing about the Force and instill in him the values and concept of the Jedi. Maybe he ignores Luke's disrespect and doesn't waste time with him, just answers Luke's questions and doesn't believe it with answers and demonstrations. But over time, this earned Luke's respect without Yoda even having to ask for it. Yoda knew what he was facing and acted accordingly. Respect comes naturally and is not a priority.
Yoda introduces a classic idea: The hero, and sometimes the antagonist, meets the character. Sometimes it's an old woman, sometimes it's an old man, it's different but the character is somehow annoying, not beautiful, suspicious, ugly or poor and they ask the hero to limit resources or are willing to help if necessary and there seems to be nothing they can do.
Luke started to behave well, but he was still impatient when he thought the green creature had something that could help him. Then, after she had recovered so well, she reluctantly began to thank him and finally lost her patience and screamed. In almost every culture in the world, being rude to a guest is the worst form of behavior, less so than refusing to greet them.
Yoda is disappointed that Luke behaves no differently than his father: forgetful, impatient, irritable, and easily frustrated. He is not kind to those who seem smaller and weaker than him. She makes huge assumptions about a person's worth based on their appearance and treats them based on what they use for her. What he was looking for was right under his nose, but Luke couldn't see it because he was ordered to.
