Relating With Elders by Successdude(op): 12:41pm On Feb 08, 2019
MATURE MINDS ONLY

I believe I'd have concrete response to this which bothers on how to react or relate with the seniors.

This to be precise, is especially about cautioning them on EVILS or wrong doings and also interaction with them. But what prompts this is, about the evil these elders commit..

I grew up as a desciplined person and believe you me, I can be frank to situations irrespective. Being me, I have been in situations where I speak up against wrongdoings and sometimes it is outdoors as in when on my way to work. Many times, I have spoken against attitudes of bus drivers and their conductors if I perceive them mistreat a passenger and it is usually serious when they do that with me - I really do not keep quite.

However, I really don't know if I have been wrong cos sometimes, really few times tho when the whole thing is done and everyone disperses I kinda feel guilty like, I have disrespected elders. I wonder, does it mean wrongdoings should be overlooked and allowance of evil taking heights is to be encouraged ?

I really do not shout at them but if It is in the tune of say, affecting my self esteem I so take it serious and in this case I find my self raise my voice. Who else wouldn't speak for himself ?

Does it mean one should just let these wrongdoings any time they are seen, and let it hold sway ? Isn't it what conscience encourages, that these things should be spoken against ?
What does one do ?
