Be respectful of elderly people. Realize that you will be old some day and may need a helping hand. Next time you go to a mall, parking lot, or anywhere, focus your vision all around, look for an old person struggling with something, like carrying bags or loading groceries into their car. Say, "May I help you with that?" You will be doing a great service for seniors. Sometimes you may get one who is crabby or distrustful, and will refuse your offer, then simply say, "I understand, and I wish you a good day." Don't give up at this point, and keep up looking for a person that will accept your offer. Realize the elderly can have vision, hearing, or even dementia problems, so you may need to gesture with your hands as if carrying or loading. Go to a park and take a brisk walk, and if you see an old person alone, say hello with a gentle smile, and ask how they are doing, just acknowledging someone is only proper, and can make their day. Try to imagine losing your spouse whom you enjoyed and loved for many years, only to be left alone in the big world all by yourself. By developing this attitude of love and understanding for the gentle things of life, like the elderly, you be on your way to the true meaning of life and sharing, and you will become a better person.
