Should we necessarily respect our elders even if they are not good in character?

This is not fair!

Who likes to bow low to evil guys?

For example, one of my elder is very evil,...

Wait, i call her the EMBODIMENT OF EVIL!

Still, i hate it when it comes to touch her feet or even at least talk to her!

Yeah you have to respect them.. or atleast show them respect even if you don't mean it.

No one should bow low to the evil people among us, no matter what their age...but usually our elders are not such an embodiment of evil and have much to teach us if we would only listen.

Respect is earned, and title does not dictate behavior. Just because someone is older does not necessarily mean that they are wise.

You dont have to like someone to show them respect. Our elders have alot more experience in this world than we do. So, even if we do not agree with everything they do, we still need to respect them. Especially your parents. They brought you into this world.

First off, my elders wouldnt rob a bank. Secondly, it is possible to show respect and yet disagree with someone. Such as me telling an elder I will not support them in robbing a bank.

They're old, they weeks are numbered. Let them live without thinking that the succeeding generations haven't completely gone to hell.

Respect those who respect you -regardless of age.

To bluff respect is more disrespectful than most could imagine.

But to bluf respect is to prolong an issue and is ripping yourself AND the offending person off.

I would not force my child against their wishes to cuddle or kiss hello an elderly relative because the elders think they should.

To insist one give respect when they dont feel like it also teaches them to put up with shit.

I find it insulting whenever i hear an elderly person go on about the uncouth youth of today.

Has the dementia set in already ?

Whenever a generation of teens reaches old age , they all forget what teens were like when they were teens.

Just imagine our elderly born in our times. They would have probably outdone the teens of today , if you use something like "WOODSTOCK" as leverage for an example.
