The fact that social media has leveled the playing field doesn't offer you the right to disrespect the elderly
Death would not surprise us as often as it does, if we let go of the misbelief that newborns are less mortal than the elderly.
The young man pities his elders, fearing the day he, too, will join their ranks. The elderly man pities the younger generation, well-knowing the trials and tribulations that lie ahead of them.
One of the things I enjoy about being young is learning from my elders without them giving direct advise.
My mother had a kindness that embraced all life.She knew her place well and was comfortable in giving everything she had.This is the tradition of native women.
Coming from an Asian culture, I was always taught to respect my elders, to be a better listener than a talker.
Trouble is, kids feel they have to shock their elders and each generation grows up into something harder to shock.
Most teenage girls don't give old people the time of day which is sad because all old people do all the time is think about how nice it was to be a teenager so long ago.
