Elders are someone who shape are beautiful past intro beautiful memories and they teach us the presence of love and how oneself should be treated. Elders are someone who shape our roots or cultures but these loves are often been ignored in the present world. We name them as grandparents or aging parents or senior members of the society. These people are experienced or a lot experienced about their past and the working they do. They carry stories of strength or silence or love or many other things they are not just the people who have the experience but they are the one who teaches how to be brave enough to handle the Chaos of the life even they are the one who handle is in our emotional situation and keep blessing us in our lives whether we do good to them or not.
Elders are not the one who only shower the love or just give the opinion on the other hand they are one who have a very good experience of the lifetime. They know the situation of studying or be it handling finances till raising families. They have lived with almost 14 to 15 members in a very small household and have managed many things beyond their capacity. They are the one who can tell us the real heroic stories about their past and how they overcome all those difficulties or good or bad times. The teach us every good life lessons if we hear them carefully we can make better decision and avoid doing mistakes in our life. A very small conversation with the grandparents can teachers more than what we study on internet or on a daily life in school. Sometimes they are maybe Times where we cannot understand the life essence they might be teaching us we in 21st century and being the typical generation mind these word as useless or mugging their stories so that we can feel proud on them. But these stories are not just scribbles they are real world and time experience.
We wouldn't have understood the real meaning any festival or ritual or language for the moral values which shape are identity and these are not just customs these are feelings and emotions that we celebrate together to bring happiness in our lives. These festivals or ritual or language drive us alive through the story telling of many great ancestors and letting is know about the family history and their bravery and cooking of traditional means on which we often feel watery in our mouth. These cooking or dishes are not just food they are love which are showered by elders. They are the silent guardians of our cultural legacy. These festivals just not are meant be celebrated unless we know the true lessons of it. The festivals tell us it true meaning of love when we celebrated as together in a family. We often love these festivals just because we get few earnings and love and sweets by our elders.
When are parents are against of our any wishes or desires there is a grandparent behind it working to fullfill are desires or wishes secretly. There is always a small love hidden behind these beautiful gestures by your elders which they show by fullfiling our wishes are saying yes to the things which are parents say no or be it by giving us money to buy something for us. When we often feel sad from the society or from the environment we do have a sense of conferred from our grandparents which no one else can, as they divert us from telling their stories. They are very good listeners when time comes to share our stories, they hear our any story either be it friends or schools are parents. The listen to us with pure affection and truly believe me their patients is unmatched. The listen to us without judging and support us without questioning anything and their love cannot be paid. For many of us a simple hug or love or kisses or there stories can be a blessing that can change our day and emotions.
In today's era children lack these comfort as they live miles apart from there grandparents and the love and blessings which they need to have this completely blank. In the fast developing world we somewhere have lost connection with grandparents who sometimes quietly contribute when parents are working and then guide us and they help us volunteer in many of the task. Yet many of the family and society cannot bring their presence and these children lack small acts of care or wisdom or health or culture or love or stories etc technology's have taken this place but have failed to provide all these treatment as a backbone provided by a grandparents which we cherish throughout our life. The sense of familyness and rootedness and togetherness cannot be earned or be taught without blessings or love or teachings of the grandparents.
Elders are not just only part of the family they are the stairs leading to you to the foundation. Serving them and taking care of them and listening to them is a kind of privilege and love, they should be valued because everyday in there talks and love their blessings are hidden.
Society that does not value it's elders loses its soul.
