Nice way to get a positive message through with a beautiful story. I agree with the role that elders should play. In the UK it's a bit sad the way elders are treated. Almost hidden. I think about ways to get their opinion out to the places mostly occupied by the younger generation. I don't have the ability (health which is improving!) ATM but I would like to volunteer soon and just ask and talk about things that the younger generation worries about.

Great post.
