Yes, we should respect our elders. I was just noticing that the other day, how our society is losing the respect that is due to older people everywhere. This teenager came driving down the parking lot lane where an older couple was waiting to turn into a parking spot. She saw them waiting, but cut them off and took their up front spot like...ooh well you're too slow. I couldn't believe my eyes. What is wrong with people...that they're more important that anyone else? Yes, things may seem a little more inconvenient because they're slower at times. People need to remember, they will be old some day too. How do you want to be treated when you are older?! I try to give up seats when an older person or even a mother with infant seems to be looking for a seat. Even though I'm a woman myself and it may seem ok for me to remain sitting, I just remember how difficult it was for me raising children and also think about how I'd like to be treated when I'm older and it makes it easy to do.
