Question

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   21   have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us   22   everything to their kindness and love．

When we   23   them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or   24    them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of   25   our own love and gratitude to them．   26, elders have also been through all the years you are   27   and know a little more about the world than you do．

It is   28   that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new．All younger generations have always   29   with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human   30  ．However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their   31．

With changing times and   32   influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders．Youngsters should 33   express their views and if there are arguments, they should not   34   their voices．

If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately   35   their places, and sit on the carpet．In buses and trains, youngsters are   36   to give up their places to older people．This is not a   37   of who has more rights．It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear  38_, or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a   39   disadvantage．

When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become   40   that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness．
