Do we believe we respect our elders?

it is nothing but belittling them.
Not belittling but being gracious. Small children also deserve to be offered seats.
Sorry but I differ in this opinion, for me it is making them feel that they can't withstand that.

no thanks! you need it more than i do.
Let me ask a simple question, do we offer seat of respect to elders, ladies and small children in this big bus of jatland forum?
I think, instead of discussing others in the bus of others, let us discuss self in our own jatland bus
Nicely put Mr. Fateh ji....We need not go far to discuss this as we may relate it here with the so called "Jatland Bus".
I percieve many out of us do respect elders, ladies and small children and some do not.
Conflict of ideas is a normal thing as we percieve same thing in a different manner. The point here is respecting others point of views and learning from it, it is the best respect one can give.
Fateh ji there is so much to learn from eminent people in JLand you are also one of them....I hope we all should understand to gain maximum out of this platform in terms of rationality.

Many thanks for your appreciation dear brother, I personally believe in your views and fully agree with you,
I agree blaming others is the easiest thing one can do, but to get over it is rather difficult.dosto..samaj ko dosh dena kafee asaan hai...do v really do what society accepts of us..and now no one teaches the social responsibility to GenX neither in home or schools..so lets us first look in rather out...
Where I don't agree is that no one teaches social responsibility these days, it is only partially true. See behavior towards others is same as others behave with you. It is very rare that people behave rude to those who gave them respect.
So it is purely to an individual's conduct how well he/she behaves with others.

However, the question is, if that is all they do for the elders and nothing else, is touching feet not a sham?

I have seen some daughter in laws doing this (touching feet) of her father in law, mother in law - but when it comes to taking care of them, they are no where in the picture. Respect is seen in the action of a person, not in formalities.

URMILAJI, now in these days most donot even touch feet of their elders, atlist such daughter- in- laws doing something positive also giving some positive example to younger people. ideally we must lookafter our parents in real sense from heart and by action.

Fateh jee, I think such behavior (touching feet only but otherwise not caring at all for the parents/in laws) reflects badly on this tradition of feet touching - it comes across as a sham. Personally, I don't touch feet of the elders (I hug them instead), but I am there for them in their time of need and I give them my time otherwise too - chatting away with them, socializing with them etc.

urmilaji, I do not deny your point, one must lookafter in real sense, but I can tell you that one gets a great joy/satisfaction in respecting parents/elders by taching their feets, I do from my childhood even now with this old age I follow the practice with my elders, PARENTS IN REAL SENSE DONOT WANT MUCH BUT RECOGNITION/Puchh like Devta donot eat, they are hungry of Bhog.
Hi Friends,
This is Renuka, I am new member of jatland. Yesterday I saw two extreme conditions at same place (doctor's clinic) which made me to ask this question at this forum:
Those extreme scenarios were:
Condition 1: The Clinic was full different age group of people, starting from 15 till 70 years . When I entered the clinic I saw one aged uncle(must be in his late 60s), was standing and looking for some place to sit , but nobody bothered to offer him a seat. That uncle got a chance to sit when someone left the seat on his turn to visit the doctor.
Condition 2: In the same clinic I saw one old lady (must be in her 80s) who was accompanied by her daughter/daughter-in-law(second generation w.r.t. old lady) and her grandson( third generation w.r.t. old lady) and I must say, second and third generation did everything to make her comfortable.
Friends , I just want to know , what we as younger generation should do to make sure to reduce % of condition 1 and increase that of condition 2.
Thanks in advance.

People those are not well visit doctor, And I dont think if are not fit you will give your seat to somebody Else..
Secondly respect is earned so its elders wish what they want..
First thing, I Really dont think you have any right to call me bechaari.... and secondly it is not abt lack of women participation at JL what matters is if we are really taking the discussion seriously... Every body has there view points and I belive in case any body wants to contibute anything , it should be abt topic not abt person....
Yaha sab aisa hi hai renu...yeh tou shurwaat hai...aagae aage dekho...yaha topic par kam aur personal wars jyada hai...so take care n try to avoid arguments..

फ़तेह जी नमस्कार,
आपने बहूत ही उचित उद्धारण दिया है | और अगर आप इजाजत दें तो मैं यहाँ जोड़ना चाहूँगा की दिल से इज्जत करने के साथ साथ अगर उसे अपने आव भाव से परगट भी कर दें तो सोने पे सुहागा है |
फ़तेह जी नमस्कार,
आपने बहूत ही उचित उद्धारण दिया है | और अगर आप इजाजत दें तो मैं यहाँ जोड़ना चाहूँगा की दिल से इज्जत करने के साथ साथ अगर उसे अपने आव भाव से परगट भी कर दें तो सोने पे सुहागा है |
Brother, you are 100% right, regards
