Elders are senior citizens of a country. They have lots of experience in life. Through experience they have gained wisdom. Hence they should be given due respect and recognition when they grow very old and become physically weak. Elders cannot participate in all the activities like in the past, because they are physically and mentally unfit. Yet you should not forget what they had done. If not for them the present generation will not exist.
When parents become old, it is the duty of the children to look after them. They should never be neglected. They must be made to understand that they are accepted in the society.
|I would like to say that we all should take care of our elders and be of worthy sons and daughters.
