Through out life we are told from the day of birth that we must respect our elders. Yet through life the most disrespectful bunch of people tend to be elderly. Now I understand that was a bit broad of a net I cast but it isn't as if i believe all elderly are angry rude people. Yet I am calling out the ridiculous notion that someone is deserved of respect by their younger pier. Today ,as an example of my fueled belief, I was questioned by a man older than me of my credentials as a bartender because of my youth then went forward to rudely remark how i knew nothing. So please tell me why we continue to fuel the minds of youth that we are lesser, undeserving of equal respect, and incapable of being knowledgeable because of our youth.
Hope you enjoyed reading and I truly hope to see some convos in the comments!
