Respect Your 'Youngers'
Many older people seem intimidated by the younger folks who aren't intimidated by their elders' age. If only people knew how LITTLE age is a factor in deciding the levels of respect established in an exchange. Anybody who dismisses someone's ideas SOLELY based off their age is not worthy of the respect they require because they haven't granted it. Children, teens, 20 y/o's are often dismissed because "y'all eh see life yet" (which often assumes you need to go through the hardest of hardships to even have an opinion) so there is this assumption that we have nothing to offer. YET STILL, when there's a struggle to adapt to new information and technology, you run to the youngings. Stop letting ego raise our kids. We do NOT have it all figured out. We do NOT know everything. Why would you want your kids to be anything less than better than you? Why would you perpetuate the mindset that raised you WITH all its kinks rather than using innovation
