Chapter 183: Honoring the Elderly

Parents are the people who raise us to adulthood. They cultivate us who are just born into eloquent people. When we can be independent, share their worries, and do what we can for them, we must do our best to do our best.

Not causing trouble to others (including parents) is a key step in the life of emotional intelligence. Excellent qualities such as politeness, independence, perseverance, and empathy all come from this.

Some things cannot be too dependent on our parents. After all, we cannot rely on them forever. One day, we cannot cause trouble to our parents, and we must take on the responsibility of taking care of them. Therefore, we must cultivate our ability to be independent from an early age and not add trouble to our parents. Never bother parents when we can solve things ourselves.

This may be because our family is influenced by the cultural habits of the Celestial Empire, and we subjectively hope to establish a concept for children: filial piety is the first priority. However, we often spoil children, making this sentence contradictory. Should we spoil children, or let children learn to respect the elderly, etc.

I remember that once, when I went to a bookstore, I saw an old man carrying a schoolbag for his granddaughter and asking her at the counter where the book was. I felt very uncomfortable. An elderly man now has the only one who can rely on his son, daughter, or his granddaughter, but this granddaughter kept instructing him to do this and that.

For example, many parents usually greet their children first when they return home: "Baby, how are you doing today?" But since I was a child, our family has such a habit. Children, of course, also include me, should greet their parents first when they return home.

Our family’s food must be eaten only by the elders, and then by the younger generation. My parents told me to take care of my grandfather since I was a child. No one has ever said this: “Grandpa, you have to take good care of your grandson.”

But the opposite is true in this city. Children in the city are spoiled by their elders, and no one tells them to respect their elders. The elders think that the most important person in this family is children, not the elderly. In fact, sometimes we don’t think that children will get up after falling and falling, and it will be fine in a few days because the children recover quickly.

But the elders are not like children. Once they fall, they can't get up, and they may not get sick. Therefore, people in our cities sometimes ignore the importance of the elderly because they spoil their children too much. Some people say: "A old person in the family is like a treasure." Isn't it? Don't regret not being kind to our parents when we lost anyone.

"A family with an old man is like a treasure" is an enlightenment that makes us know how to cherish the elderly. "A family with an old man is like a treasure" is a necessary virtue for the whole society. If this virtue is lost, you will be despised by society. "A family with an old man is like a treasure" does not mean that you should use this treasure, but that you should cherish this treasure, respect this treasure, and protect this treasure, so that you can be called a minimum person. "A family with an old man is like a treasure" is actually better than saying "A family with an old man is worse than a treasure"! This is not only a respect for the elderly, but also a commendation with more young people who have "old elders and younger men".

As the saying goes, there is an old family like a treasure. This statement that has been tempered for thousands of years is naturally trustworthy. An elderly person at home can help us organize housework, take care of children, and manage our daily life. Just imagine, every day when night falls, and when you look up, you can see the bright lights of your own house. How warm it is. Parents work hard at home, so that we can live our lives with peace of mind, and their contribution to the stability and harmony of our family is never smaller than that of young people.

When the elderly get older, their physical condition is much worse than before. Some elderly people even have difficulty moving and need wheelchairs, crutches and other auxiliary tools to move. Therefore, if we see an elderly person who has no seat to sit in the subway car or bus, we should get up and give up our seats.

I often see many young people occupying charity seats. Even if they see the elderly, they still pretend to be sleeping or pretend not to see them. It is really annoying. We should respect and respect the elderly, because one day we will become the elderly.

Because the elderly are people who have made contributions to our society, they are hard-working and hardworking. They are for a better life and a happy life... But now they are old and yellow, with white hair. The foreheads are covered with wrinkles, their hands become rough, and they are no longer the delicate hands of the past, their faces become dull and they can no longer shine. They have done too much for us... People with ability should take care of them and let them spend their old age happily.

They have paid too much for our family. They have raised our parents and given everything they have to our family. They are too tired. We can no longer let them continue to be tired. They are old and cannot do it anymore. When they reach the age they should enjoy, they should enjoy it well, instead of continuing to worry about our younger generations. We cannot be so unfilial. We must learn to support the elderly and let the elderly have support and support, right? We must learn to care about the elderly around us and do things for the elderly.

Although the elderly are inconvenient and cannot be as flexible as young people, their life experience is very rich. "If you have an old family, you will have a treasure." If you have an elder at home, it is like a treasure. They can give us advice so that we will not repeat the same mistakes, and let us know the hardships of their past lives and be grateful.

Fortunately, my four treasures, grandpa, grandma, grandma, and grandma, all live very close to us. Not only do my grandma know many wonderful ways of life, but also how I make wool and knit scarves. She is not only versatile, but also a capable working woman. I am really impressed by my grandma, although I haven't even read it in elementary school, she can complete her autobiography. She often says: "Live until old age, learn until old age." She uses Chinese dictionary more times than me! She often teaches us a lot of small wisdom in life and the principles of dealing with people. Grandma learns English with my sister, learns Gozi chess from me, and grandma teaches me to play chess. We always have a lot of fun.

Seeing that they have so much wisdom in life, but because of their age, there are so many inconvenient places, we should take good care of them, "respect the elderly", "respect the elderly", "love the elderly", and "help the elderly". You and I have a responsibility. If everyone can take care of the elderly around them as their grandparents, then the society will be full of love and warmth, and we are not afraid of getting older!

In fact, there are many things we can do for the elderly. We can wipe glass for the elderly, clean up the rooms, perform shows and sing and dance for the elderly. Teach them to speak English, sweep the floor, sprinkle water, and water flowers for them.

In normal times, tell jokes to your grandparents and make them smile; take a walk with them to let them feel happiness. When crossing the road, support grandparents across the road; when taking the bus, give them a seat for grandparents; when it rains, hold an umbrella for grandparents...

Why hasn’t such things happened in our lives? Is it difficult to do these things? There are old adults at home. Although you don’t talk about words like “love the elderly”, you can make a delicious dinner for the elderly;

Although you can't be at home anytime, anywhere, your text message or phone call can make the elderly smile... Why hasn't such a thing happened in our society? Is it difficult to do these things?

The saying "A family has an old man, like a treasure" is known to all living beings in the world. However, looking at the real life, how many people cherish these "treasures" and take these "treasures" seriously?

So, when the guests who came to the house were leaving, I developed such a good habit when I was a child, that no matter what I was doing, I would go to others to see him off, and bowed and said sincerely, "Goodbye Uncle" and "Goodbye Aunt". My friends all agreed that this child is really polite to everyone, not to mention whether he is a genius or whether his grades are good, in terms of etiquette, it has laid a foundation for his future success.

You can imagine how much trouble this child will bring to his parents and how dependent he will be on his parents. In fact, in life, we not only need not cause trouble to our parents, but the most important thing is that we cannot cause trouble to our family and everyone who cares about us. The best way to be truly independent is to be able to achieve true self-reliance.

In fact, children are not the only important relatives of our city people. Parents are also our most important relatives. I just don’t want everyone to ignore their parents.

In the eyes of our young people, we often only see our children and ignore our parents, and feel that it is right to be taken care of by our parents, and it is right to be taken care of by our grandchildren by our grandparents. Gradually, we take this for granted as a lifetime.

If you don’t want your parents to grow old, they will also need our care. The aging level of China’s society is getting deeper and more, how to get along with the elderly has become a major concern for people.

1. Go home often

Due to family planning and other reasons in modern society, many of them are only families. Children work outside all year round, and the elderly at home are very lonely. The first step to get along with the elderly is to go home often and stay with them more. If you cannot go home often due to geographical distance, you should contact your home more by phone, text messages or videos, so that the elderly can feel cared for.

2. Talk about family matters

Many elderly people are very "nagging", and what the younger generation now dislikes the most is the nagging of the elderly, but the elderly also hope to talk to their children and communicate more. When you are at home, don't think that the elderly are "nagging", treat those nagging as care, listen with patience, and always feel the deep love in it. Moreover, those so-called nagging also contain lifelong experiences summarized by the elderly.

3. More "coquettish"

The elderly always hope that their children can grow up, and they also hope that they will never grow up. Appropriate behavior of spoiled children is a good way to enhance relationships with the elderly. If a boy does not act spoiled, he can also ask his parents more ways to deal with things, and actively express his gratitude, and try to use a softer and more gentle method.

4. Old children

It is said that old children and children can get along with the elderly like children. In many cases, if we don’t involve principles, we will give in and spoil more. We will be spoiled by the elderly for the first half of our lives, so we will spoil them for the second half of our lives!

5. Sugar-coated shells

The sugar-coated cannon here refers to some snacks. In fact, it is wrong for us to think that parents don’t like those snacks since we were young. They just want to leave more for us. Usually, we don’t have to buy expensive nutritional supplements for the elderly. It is also very good to buy some snacks occasionally. Of course, we should pay more attention to the elderly’s preferences and buy them in their hearts.

6. Children are the best gift

Some young people have not yet started a family based on many considerations. The old saying goes: There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no descendants are the greatest. Starting a family and starting a career at the right time, and then taking your lovely children back to visit your parents. This should be the gift that the elderly want the most and can make them happiest.

Everyone has their own living habits. Life is short, so live as you live happily! We have to walk alone in the long journey in the future.

When I was a child, I always said that children with mothers are like treasures, and children without mothers are like grass. They are not as caring for and not as love from their fathers. Life is very impolite, they are very impolite to wash dishes, and they have nannies, my family has child labor, they are not as good as children, they don’t pay for work, they don’t have money to buy snacks, and they have to do housework. Other people’s children, that’s right, study hard every day, and their children are so pitiful, they do housework every day, and their studies are declining quickly! I’m singing while washing! Haha!
