We should show respect to everybody,
especially our elders because they are ahead of us — in age, in wisdom and maturity, in experience and education. Our
36 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us
37 everything to their kindness and love.
When we
38 them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or
39 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of
40 our own love and gratitude to them.
41 , elders have also been through all the years you are
42 and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is
43 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generation
s have always
44 with their e
lders and it is these differences that bring changes in human
45 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their
46 .
With changing times and
47 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should
48 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not
49 their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, child
ren will immediately
50 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are
51 to give up their places to older people. This is not a
52 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear
53 , or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a
54 disadvantage.
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become
55 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.
