The current assessment is that the old should have self-respect!

According to relevant statistics, China's elderly people are proliferating, the elderly occupation of society, has been clearly easy to see. People come and go on the street, our elderly always rub shoulders with young people, sometimes you will find that the elderly has been an important part of Chinese society.

Young people respect the elderly, which is the embodiment of our traditional Chinese virtues, but this has become part of the old people for the reason of old age. Age should never be a privilege.

Recently, the Internet has a video of elderly people resisting law enforcement, the elderly crossing the street to break through the red light was stopped by the police, the old man but the police hit the police, the fist slammed into the face of the police, the police comrades do not dare to fight back. This kind of reliance on the elderly rogue behavior, so that the elderly netizens have to frown when they watch! The elderly is synonymous with respectability, and here he is directly undermining the ordinary people's view of the elderly.

The uncivilized behavior of the elderly, as if it has become the norm. Reported some time ago, the old man on the bus forced children to give up their seats, no guilt to sit on the body of the child; and recently, in the public **** swimming pool, the old man defecated in the pool, and blandly left, and even earlier, the elderly square dance nuisance, and so on. All kinds of behavior, let people must not shake their heads and sigh, the traditional Chinese culture and the image of the elderly has been destroyed.

Also, the elderly should have been a teacher of teachers, should be their own skill, chivalry, for the community to dedicate a little bit of heat, to do some visible and touch the good, good. However, they are old and frail, or the teacher as a big reason, openly requesting the government or individuals to subsidize, donate their own should be paid by individuals, but also no shame in the name of "respect for the elderly and love for the young".

Most of the elderly in modern society have experienced China's turbulent years, and even experienced the last influence of the late Qing ideology, and grew up in the modernization of the younger generation, whether it is the environment of the times, or the level of education, are not comparable to it. Society respects the past of the elderly, but also generations to accept our education of young people, but this is not a reason for the elderly capricious.

Throughout the past, we have not found that condoning the elderly can be arbitrary, the traditional culture of education society to respect the elderly and love the elderly, but also has been educating the elderly should be for the younger generation to establish a correct image.

The old man, through the baptism of time, often teach our children this lesson, "eat salt than you have traveled the road are more," the young people can be understood as the old people have experienced the past they have never experienced, time will be sharpened, so that the young people can learn from the old man's past experience lessons and wisdom. But I didn't realize that some of the past, will be part of the old man's character grinding into the dregs.

When I was a child, my memories of my grandfather and I have not much, but still remember that he used to teach me that a boy should be the top of the sky, educate me on the principles of dealing with the world, and educate me by example to be down-to-earth, which I can not forget to this day. Now, we have become an old man, the body is still healthy, occasionally rambling about some past events, most of the latter are listening to a lot of fun.

So, the low quality of their own is not the fault of the times, can not be considered the fault of the environment, the fault is in their own can not really reflect on their own. The strange thing is that many elderly people are used to people's goodwill and humility, often self-centered, but they forget that humility is the virtue of the elderly, kindness should be a symbol of the elderly, rather than the elderly selfishness, the right to run roughshod over the elderly as a group of people as an example of the existence of these behaviors make our elderly community feel shameful!

Bustling streets, children, adults and the elderly, we live together, we accommodate each other, but also each other to get along. Don't do something shameful, old people, let's learn to "self-respect" together.
