I think this is an over-interpretation of traditional virtues. We should pay attention to our elders and listen to their suggestions, because their life experiences are much richer than ours. Many of their ideas and suggestions are very reasonable and valuable for reference. We must listen to them, so that we can make fewer mistakes and stand on the shoulders of giants more easily. However, this should not be over-interpreted as a sense of seniority.
At present, this phenomenon is quite common, and it has also caused some bad social impacts. A very simple example is the square dance problem. Square dance is a highly participatory sport. This is especially true among older people with a relatively large generation. This also laid a hidden danger for the outbreak of contradictions. Because most of these people are retirees, their time is relatively free. There are many people who are crazy about square dancing. This makes them have a deep obsession with square dance.
Take our community as an example. People start dancing at five or six o'clock in the morning. At this time, many young people haven't got up yet, and their music starts to ring. At first, everyone was actually restrained, and I felt that this group of people were elders, so we should understand them and put up with it. But after a long time, it seriously affected everyone's rest. People began to talk to them. But the effect is not good, saying that this is their right to enrich the lives of the elderly. If they don't let it jump, they will hold it at home as a whole, and who will be responsible if something goes wrong. As a result, everyone broke up in discord. I don't know if it was for the sake of simple competition. These people danced for a longer time. The residents who couldn't bear it finally had no choice but to find a property manager to negotiate and solve this problem.
In fact, a very simple thing can be solved by mutual understanding. However, in the current environment, the old people feel that they are older, that everything they say is right, and that everything they do should be understood. The original excellent traditional culture has become somewhat deformed. The elders have changed from being taken care of, feeling and respected to being the one who does everything with confidence and should constantly ask for it. More and more people not only don't think their elders are a group of people full of wisdom and experience. Instead, I think they are unreasonable and unable to communicate. This is really a very frustrating situation. I hope everyone can treat it more rationally? Generation? This problem should not be ignored, and more care and understanding should be given to the elders, nor should it be misinterpreted as justified by seniority.
