The elderly were formerly young before being utterly overtaken by years. It is only orderly that they arrive first at our common destination of ageing. Tenderly treating the elderly is therefore entirely reciprocal.

Regrettably, wayward behavior toward the elderly is a password for many youths today. Your watchword should be caution if a challenge is intended, and arm yourself with multiple arm’s lengths else you could lose some teeth and all you’ll get is an appalling apology.

Ageing dims the natural sight of the elderly, it also sharpens their sight of insight; the youth is blind to this sight.

The way the elderly extol their good old days leaves the youth almost concluding that there were no rascals. The reality is the absurdity that they are the remnant of men who with impunity plunged humanity into the impurity of putridity and calamity.

The young and the elderly possess assets the other need. Youths have vitality and the aged have wisdom. The aged claim being young at heart while the young claim having old head on young shoulders.

An elderly person who cannot see beneath the surface should donate his brain to a mechanic workshop for an experimental quick fix tutorial with apprentices.
