I think folks forget that part about being a responsible adult toward children, then expect to be respected due to age...
One must do respectable things in order to be respected... Besides, the issue is "reverence". Are they living a "revered" life--that is respect with joy and honor.
So don't feel bad or that it is taboo because elders are misbehaving. A child will never be the parent no matter what the age is. But a child does grow up and become an adult...
And Christ said, "I put childish things away..."
Some folks who are adults will never be at that point in their lives... So just like my Soror Redefined said, you all ain't a toxic dump, why should they leave their waste around you?

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!!!!!!
