There are many old people who believe they can say whatever they want due to them being old....this is a social norm that has been accepted as a general rule to follow. My opinion....we as a society have been brainwashed to be degraded with a cover up of, 'I'm only saying this because I love you'. If an old person says degrading, disrespectful things to you, they don't love you at all. To go deeper, they may not love themselves and want you to feel more hurt than what they do.
An Elder will not intentionally hurt your feelings or disrespect you. Elders are full of wisdom, and righteous correction. They discern when and when not to say things, as well as how to say them. Elders are not unflawed people, as none of us are perfect. They have things about them that need work or could be worked on, and they use those to things to expound on imparting into others. Elders also share their experiences of right and wrong, up and downs, as well as challenges and victories of their life.
I encourage all who read this blog to discern between an old person, and an Elder. Be mindful and respectful of the time whom you spend, as well as information you share and receive. #thatsurthurty
