Respect

The bus was pulling away from the stop, when a little old guy started walking reeeeeaaaally slooooowly towards the bus. Some people on and off the bus tried gesturing and shouting at the driver to wait. He hesitated for a second, then drove away, leaving the old guy standing there.

It is sad how this generation has no values, no respect for elders. It would have taken a few more seconds for the old man to get on the bus, and everyone would have waited patiently. So why was the driver in such a hurry? Why couldn't he have been considerate, and waited?

Cuz they lost that value, that rule, that you respect your elders. I don't want to think of how the world will be when he gets old. How he will be treated by the new little punks running around in the streets.

What has the world come to? Where is it going to?

  1. Why are you getting so worked up? Ain kol chadash tachas hashemesh. At the very worst, as it says in sotah, the generation before the messiah will be filled with the chutzpah of the youth before their elder. Of course, 800 years ago they were saying that too... As I said, ain kol chadash tachas hashemesh.

  8. owwch. did not mean THAT---> could just be that the guy is no mentch....
    But its not surprising that kids aren't respecting their parents. Think about the way society and the media portray parents and the elderly... u hear more jokes about the elderly then u see volunteers at an old age home... Children see the way adults treat each other, and learn. If mommy calls grandma an old witch, u think that the kid wont do the same to his parents?

THINK before you utter your thoughts.
