"I show courtesty to another elderly. But I don't respect him/her till he has some experience or had done something worthy of my respect"
Dun mistaken me to be the believer of some obscure, twisted, decadent Western teaching. But when I was on the bus juz now, I saw an old lady scolding another young guy, calling him "not educated" and "his mother never teach him [to respect elders, so goes the Confucian saying]"
Makes me wonder, does age automatic guarantee u this word 'respect'?
Wad are u guys opinion of this?
