Some elders still genuinely exert effort to show themselves as our
role model. They constantly remind us of what are good and bad and
always in oppose with disgraceful, evil or morally wrong pursuit of
the younger. But it’s impossible to question them in their
personal damaging activities and habits. That is regarded as
impolite. Their generation also believes that the young don’t have
the right to question.
For them, being blind is better like pretending having a happy
world. Choosing to believe makes the world easier and
perhaps happier for them. The rest is ignored. That makes the confrontation awkward and usually unwelcome. We make ourselves a fool
of hypocrisy.
Don’t share your problems. It’s voodoo. Their cup is already
full to carry another load. Have you asked yourself “When did their
cup ever emptied?” They don’t want to face their own fears… the
truth… the reality. They let the time pass… but the time makes
them bitter while they sulk in the prison they’ve built around them.
It’s sad when the other person decides to leave because of the generation gap. There’s actually a lot of danger from it. The lack
of proper communication makes it hard to live in harmony. We feel
clueless and worthless. The lost of track makes us rebel. No one
understands and cares, or if they do, how can we know? Arguments and
misunderstanding damages the relationship. Then time comes someone
will give up. We are like a puzzle piece that will never fit.
Given that we once love the person, it’s up to us to what level
of effort are we still willing to give. Even on our own simple ways,
we can show that we care. Respect is still love. Learn the art of it.
What matters is our sincerity and initiative to make things better.
