I believe that some people abuse the old ones since they think they are good for nothing, I have seen how people as the least prided themselves and Don't think for a moment that someday they will be old.too.
  I think that is a great importance to maintain the respect for elders,since at some time they were young and dedicated their lives to raise their children and grand children.
 people should think of them as human beings,and that they have feelings and all they need is to be treated with patience and love.
