Is being ‘An Elder’ considered a virtue or a sin by the Grown up? Is Wisdom considered to be as despair to admit? And is immaturity considered as a virtue in the time that we live in. We hardly have any one been called as An Elder. Or anyone is being proud to be called as An Elder now a days. If you by any means, address, An Elder, As an Elder. The addressee suddenly feels offended, and you get to sense that something you said was wrong!
In the past We spoke of our Elder's in our family greatly and considered them , to be very, unique people, the very title would mean that the person has had a lot of life experience to share, that will help to equip the young. We used to approach them for advice, an opinion, wishful thinking, because IT was understood that an Elder was in many way a Treasure Chest of information and knowledge
The Grownups nowadays, say that the respect to Grownups is diminishing day by day. Interesting! The Grownups have become very friendly than the grownups than yester years, and then tend be to be more of Children in approach and behavior than grownups. How is one supposed to find the difference between children and grownups nowadays if both appear to be the same?
It was suppose to be a virtue, in the olden times to call a grownup a wise person! , this would Portray his experience, his attained knowledge ,his approach to life’s task , and bring about a appearance of a well-groomed man or woman, in stature , speech and would tend to be well versed in lives mysteries , that a second person would find it in his best interest , to approach such a grownup , that he or she might learn from them . So that the ever ending saying of " Learn from your elders , " would not be a forced and pressed upon task but rather be a ,natural behavior in its self. If the Grownups would be more of Grownups they say that they appear to be.
People are feeling bad, in considering themselves to be grownups, people nowadays not only like to look young, which is a very good thing, and must be appreciated. But tend to sound Young , which at times can be annoying and very irritated when they do, in a matter of importance , and when quick action is required from them .
Seldom do we come to see a much groomed grownup, Groomed I mean not in appearance, but in approach, they are so few. That we tend to spot people like them. It is like spotting a signal giraffe in a heard of zebras.
Oh Dear! I hope the Real virtue of true Grownups do not tend to cease to Exit for ever! That the children now days might not come to a point in their lives that they do not know to act as a grownup, When they are expected to be one.
Or seized! to have anyone left to learn from.
If everyone, consider themselves as children.
Where would they go for grownups?
If everyone, consider themselves as pupils of life.
Where do they go, to ask for lives mysteries?
The response is often silenced, and one has no other ways but, goes out to find the answerers to ones questions on his own. Which is, at times very dangerous, and can even end up have strong consequences. Life is learned the harsh way, principals, morals, values and ethics appear to be mere fables to our ears. Because of lack of our grownup being Grownup, learning is done how one potteries his life, each going in his own ways, living the life in the way one finds to his description what is good and comfortable to him,
We all know the story of the 8 blind men who went to see an Elephant; each one had his own view, his own description. Not clear. Contradictory to ones view‘s, resulting to argument’s that never end.
But what if there was yet another blind man to guide these 8 blind men, they might have their views, but they would always remember the man that guided them, and in length of time agree to their Guide,
Eventually we all learn the principals of life in the hard way or self way, but if had Grownups to guide us along the ways, we would soon see the light of things and see that it is important to become a grownup for our children ,that they may be grownup for their own children in the future.
It is very important that The parcel is passed.Every time, and we must make sure we do not lose it's gift. in the process.
The Gift’s OF Wisdom.
