Wise Elders

Dear Students of Arrowhead,

          Why must younger generations miss treat older generations? Is it because we have lost all patience? I don't think it's because we have no patients i think its be cause we may have shorter attention span. I think we may have shorter attention spans because we have more advanced things like technology and TV's that we watch or do so much we get lazy and we have no time for other people besides our self . Some people think elders are our only link to the past, and if we had no past I think it would probably be harder to move on into the future. Elders also have much knowledge about many things younger generations don't have much knowledge on, and if we treat older people bad then come to then with a question why should they answer it. 
           in The Wise Old Woman there is a young foolish king that throws everybody out that turns 71. But there was a young farmer and his mother turned 71 and he didn't want to abandon her so he built a secret room and she lived there. Then one day there was another King called Higa that ruled a bigger village and demanded one thousand ropes of ash or he would concur the village. So the young farmer asked his mother and his mother laugh and told him what to do (no one in the village knew how to do this task). Then on another day Higa sent another demand to the small village, asking them to weave a silk string into a wooden log (no body knew how to do it because it was small). Then the young farmer had went to his mother, and told her there trouble news. then the mother smiled and told him how to do it. then the king asked the farmer how he knows all these things and the farmer said he had been asking his mother and that his old mother had been living at his house under the kitchen. Then the young king had asked the Wise old Woman for forgiveness and allowed old people to live in the village.
\           So the next time your about to talk about a Elder (person older than you) you should stop and think about what if you will need them later on in your life. so if the answer is yes i don't think it would be wise to pick or talk about them.
