You know I don't know what happened to respect for older people. When I was young we looked up to people my age (58) and listened to them. These young people now just don't want to listen to older folks! It is shameful.
They should think it over. We have gone down roads that they haven't experienced yet. Most likely we have taken some wrong turns and have learned some pretty valuable and painful lessons from those wrong turns. But, no people over 40 don't know anything.
I can't tell you the times I have seen my warnings come to fruition. I told them so. Some say, "No they have to live their own lives. Make their own mistakes and learn their own lessons." And, that is true but not to the total disregard of the older generations wise words.
Think back about the American Indians, for example, the elders taught the younger men how to hunt, fish and fight. They told stories with lessons and tales of past experiences. Yea, I know that they got the rough end of the deal in America and I am sorry for that, but I didn't have anything to do with it. They respected the older generations.
Go right ahead and do things the hard way and I will keep on shaking my head when I think about why you just didn't listen to me all along.
