In my opinion, to listen kids or old persons, is great, really great, somebody can learn so many when know to listen a kid or a old person; all time they have something to say, something important, who can make you stop and learn, make you to out from this daily fight for existence.
To listen a kid, make you to be more happy, spontanious, pure, and learn to be kid again, time to time,To listen a old person, make you learn a lot about everything, make you more wise, more patient with people around you.
How many times in a week you try to listen a kid or a old person? just for few minute, you can pay attention to somebody who maybe make you to be crazy just because you don t have time, don t have mood for this.
Just listen a kid and a old person, and you will see how much life is nice.
Is like a theraphy, like a good medicine for soul and brain.
try to make a patient exercise, when listen a old and kid voice.

I love your attitude! I AM an older person and I enjoy talking with people of all ages. I find that 20-year-olds are least likely to talk with me. I talk with those who are much older than I am as I live in a senior center. Talking to children is a delightful experience, especially when I'm talking to my grandchildren.

Maybe people will understand that destiny is for everybody, and if we now, mature people i mean don t have patient to listen a old person...tomorrow maybe, when we want talk with somebody more younger, we will find there just nothing..because we have in life what we deserve...

Personally listening to old people and children couldn't be more irritating. Because it takes them FOREVER to get out what they are trying to say. So I usually help them along. I am pretty good at telling where they are headed. I am never rude or impatient with them though. I ALWAYS let them say what they want to say. And sometimes the things they say are interesting, sometimes it's just mumbled words that means really nothing. But I am patient, and I never cut them off. Even though sometimes I REALLY want to.

Yes, there is much to be learned with talking of people of all different ages. Whether they be younger, older, or even the same age, there's always something to be learned. Even who I cannot stand, there are days where what they say just makes sense and I feel compelled to listen. Especially the older people, they might seem crazy and out of it at many times, but they do have the life experience.

Since my childhood I have observed that I bond better with persons younger than me than with people of my age. I can't describe the feeling but I just love to be with kids,I feel so happy and completely at peace. Even at the age of 21,I love playing with them,I can connect with them better,their souls are very pure,their smiles heavenly!
I have sat beside my cousins' cradles as well as my grandfather's deathbed,both the experiences very different from one another but both trying to teach us certain facts about life that either we have forgotten with time or those that will guide us for the coming years! Its hard to describe them in words because most of them aren't spoken out loud,its just the glimpse,the smile that can tell you a lot!
