It is always taught to us that we should respect elders and never disregard their opinions. However, in today's society, we witness that elders are thrown out of their houses, abused by younger generations for being slow or disregarded in every section of society. An individual does not care to realize that what they are doing today might happen with them tomorrow.
Everyone should realize that old age is the second childhood of a person. They can repeat one thing as they forget that they have said it earlier. They might dirty the table while eating. They might release urine on the bed without their knowledge. Embarrassing them or insulting them for the same is not good.
When as a mother or as a wife you can take care of your husband and children without any complaint, then why is it not possible for you to do the same with your elders? Remember if you send them to an old age home or keep on taunting them, similar thing might happen with you in future as your children will grow up and might start doing the same.
Let us celebrate this World Elder Abuse Awareness Day by keeping alive the spirit of not abusing elders and regarding them with love and respect with all our hearts.
