Old values have great power

  The war in Afghanistan ended, in Afghanistan there were no generals no regular army and yet they won. In the West there is utter disdain for the old and the elderly and there is belief that youth have the answers for everything. The greatest strength were those who were older than them. In age there is experience and knowledge. Respecting above all else is there is a fundamental reason why they win. Great empires have crumbled in Afghanistan. The youth believe they have all the answers, a society which trusts that, is doomed. The old are wiser and will remain so. They know what has happened before and how it was dealt. The complete disrespect of the old the elderly is a crime. Calling them by their first name is equally so.
