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

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

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

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

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

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