RE: we've all been told we should respect our elders, but what about respecting our young people?
You pulled attention into a very important and meaningful point my friend.. I encountered also very old but "disrespectful" people.. The question here if they ask respect from young people, don't they have to respect the youngers? And also if respect is expected by elders, if they don't teach or show it to younger, how they will learn it? Sometimes from your respect you are giving your right or rank to an elder and they don't even thank to you. Because it is already their right! It is not a dignified behaviour..
thank u for your comment. im quite tired of hearing ppl say, children today have no respect for their elders, or no respect at all, but when they dont have any good role models and the elders are behaving like toddlers then what do they think is going to happen? the most respected people are those who respect others and dont expect to be respected for the sake of it.
Respect should be given to he/she who is due. I think some elderly persons have greatly contributed to the disrespect we see in the society today. We attempted an answer to the EcoTrain Question of the Week and will be glad if you checked our blog @thegreens
