text: Additionally, an author once said, "Treat your elders with respect as they are older and wiser." The elderly has gone through going to school but while that happened and they were growing up they also lived through wars, poverty, some may have kids or even grandkids, and over the past about twenty or so years new ages/generations, and the upbringing of technology. The author mentioned "wiser", they have lived through so much and they were always learning something new. Therefore, they know a lot and can be another option for giving advice.
