Wisdom

Why is it that the younger generation thinks so highly of themselves. We believe that we know everything and are never wrong. Instead we should look up to our elders, the older generations and learn from them. Like Publilius Syrus once said,"From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own".

In fact this has nothing to do with the younger generation, it is a phase. A phase of life through which everyone goes through. This phase is mostly known as the teen years. Again why though? In my opinion we should do exactly what Publilius said. Learn from others mistakes. We should learn by looking at the lives of our elders. The older generations have already gone through these phases, they know best. What better way to know then through experience, right? If we just sit down and listen for once, we could learn so much and do so much more too. Not only for us but for all mankind. Even though it is a phase of life, some not all but there are some who catch on and use it to their advantage. There isn't anything wrong with that at all, but why not we all use that to our advantage. Imagine just skipping over so many mistakes that you never made just because you had knowledge of the past.

So how about we all sit down for once, and through the eyes of others look into the past. Look to see what compares and what contrast. Look to see how we can use it for the best, to save ourselves from blunders. To do something for not only ourselves but for all of mankind.
