Importants of Respect
Importance of respecting elders: It is very important for each one of us to learn to respect others. We cannot retain knowledge, if we do not respect our Parents, Teachers, and elders.
Respect for others is expressed in many different ways like bowing down to elders, taking good care of our books, paying attention in class; listening to our parents, being polite to everybody which results in good manners and good behaviour.
Respect destroys the ego and pride, brings forth good thinking, results in the use of very polite language, and showing kindness towards other living beings. All these factors help us in molding our character.
Anybody who is older than us in age is an elder to us. Naturally Parents, teachers, uncles, and aunts are our elders. We should greet them when ever we meet them or where ever we see them. We should also offer them a seat when they visit us. It is always polite to offer them a glass of water when we meet them at home and listen carefully to our elders without interruption and answer them very politely.
Even those people who have more knowledge are also called elders. They could be our teachers. Those who teach and practice ethical values are also our elders. Sometime they may not be very older in age, but they are at a higher spiritual level. So we should respect them all.
When elders visit you and leave your place we must accompany them to the door and see them off. We should never make fun of them or laugh at them or giggle at them. We should also never interrupt them when they are talking or argue with them and never say any bad things about elders.
Whether in school or at home such respectful children are praised by people everywhere. And when they become elders, they also receive respect from elders. This is a secret of many who are great people in life. Let us follow them to be tomorrow's honored and respected citizens of our country.
