Advice
&gt; If you think something is important but people older than you hold don&#x27;t hold it in high regard, there&#x27;s a decent chance that you&#x27;re right and they&#x27;re wrong. Status lags by a generation or more.<p>I winced a little bit at this one, though it&#x27;s worded strangely so I may be misinterpreting it. The way I took it is poor advice -- when there is a mismatch between yourself and another in terms of &quot;what&#x27;s important&quot; or what should be kept in &quot;high regard&quot;, do not immediately assume the other person is a moral failure. This is the kind of thinking that leads to division and mistrust between people. The proper way to react to this is to make a good faith effort to understand why the person doesn&#x27;t care about the issue you do, and be conscious that you may also change your mind one day. &quot;Strong opinions, weakly held.&quot;
