No, i am not talking about in a relationship.
I am referring to the amount of respect one should get when he/she get older. I can clearly remember that when i was young, age matters to me A LOT. I give respect to whoever older than me. It could be only one year older and i will be like, 'they must be a lot more knowledgeable than me'. Ok, to be honest, i find that the statement is a little over, over respect. But hey, i am a young kid then!
Nowadays, from what i observe, it is not age than command respect one should deserve. Alright, we should respect the elderly and those elders. I am just saying that, if our age is not much of a different, even if it is 6 years difference, we should give respect to people who deserves them. Their ability or action will speak louder than their resume. Hence, I felt that i respect many younger than me. On the other hand, I may not respect some who are older than me!
Face it, that's life. If you want to gain any respect, show people why you deserves them. Show people respect, to be respected. =)
