Todays Disrespect towards Elders

It irritates me when I hear people say an older person is "stuck in their ways" or "Old fashioned". I do realize that we have some old fools in our world, but I also realize there are some people who don't want to hear the truth especially when it makes them look bad. More times it's just wisdom vs. ignorance, right vs. wrong I say. In today's society people say this when the other person tells you you're wrong & you simply don't want too hear it. I've also heard this used in difference of opinions, radical opinions vs. a more traditional perspective. Sometimes things do change or need too change, but I would say it does depend if the change is for better or for worse.We all have differences at some point & it doesn't always make one or the other a bigot, asshole,old fashioned or stuck in their ways.It has nothing to do with age or a persons ways at all. Wisdom is a gift you will eventually benefit from or fail life from lack of it, your choice.
