Self Respect - Still there or No????
I was just going through a set of activites which people do on a regualr basis to show thier mark of respect towards others,especially elders.
1.Something like when you are travelling in a Bus for instance and it happens by mistake that you go on to stamp some elderly persons feet. What you do naturally is immidietly you would just ask a sorry and show a mark of respect in the traditional hindu style. This would mean a lot to the other person and he would forgive your act inspite of the pain you gave due to the stamp. Both are happy for no reason:)
2. Sometimes people go to a shop and address the shopkeeper as uncle or aunty in case they find some elderly ones.There were instances were we find the shopkeepers daugher sitting in the cash counter and you never call her sister:)..Irony bug true with almost all guys:)
3.Such instances do happen in offices too. People tend to address their bosses as Sir even though there is no need for it but still it comes out from their heart. Dont know why?
Everyshop Keeper in Bangalore wherever i have seen tend to address a Policeman by Sir as a mark of repsect cum fear.y?????
But i have seen a lot of people not showing so much of respect to their own Grandparents?
1.Do we have to do it this way?
2.Is this what we are taught in our educational system about "Respecting elders"?
3. Is it just a reflection of our own attitude?
4.Is it just an impression Building strategy? Cant one be onself and act?
5. Are our parents partly responsible for this?
6.Is is the society in which we are living is forcing to behave like this?
In answerig all these questions i request you to realise one thing-Some people have so much respect for their superiors they have none left for themselves. Is this the case with you?
Think on these lines before you actually do an unwanted act of showing respect to elders next time!
Thanks,
