Cherish the Wisdom of the Elders
珍惜长辈的智慧
(Originally in English)
Teenagers, when they grow up, begin to question their parents' authority and wisdom. And I tell you, they're not always wrong. Most parents have children too young themselves. They are not themselves wise enough to lead other unwise human beings. But the system of our world is like that. So we grow up, many of us being frustrated with our parents, because they want to have the right and authority to tell us what to do. And then we sometimes question that because they are not always right. This is true. But they are authority figures.  with them. Yet, we feel frustrated inside. Sometimes younger people have more wisdom than older people, because all of us have wisdom to begin with. It doesn't mean that if you are born later, you have less wisdom. It's not always true. It is because we are born with wisdom, you see!
青少年长大以后，会开始怀疑父母亲的权威和智慧，我告诉你们，他们这样做并不是都不对，大部分的父母有小孩时都还太年轻，他们自己的智慧根本不够教养这些智慧待开的孩子，然而我们世界的系统就是这样，所以我们长大以后，许多人与父母亲之间感觉很挫折，因为父母亲想要我们按照他们的想法做事，但我们有时候会质疑，因为事实上他们不一定都对，不过因为他们是权威人物，我们不能和他们争论，但我们内心会有挫折感。年轻人有时候比年纪大的人还要有智慧，因为我们都有智慧可以开展，并非晚出生就比较没有智慧，这不一定，因为我们生来就有智慧。
But then, according to worldly experience, the parents should be a little older in order to understand how to raise their children. But in our society, if you have children, you have to raise them, no matter how old you are, and most people in this society even  to marry early so that they can raise children early while they are strong. They are strong, but they might not be wise.
不过，依照世俗的经验，父母亲的年龄应该要大一点，才能了解如何养育小孩，可 里，如果你有了小孩，就必须要养育他们，不管你的年纪多大，而这个社会甚至鼓励人们早婚，这样才可以在年轻力壮的时候养小孩，他们虽然健壮，却不一定有智慧。
The grandparents should raise the children. The wisdom of the elders is always more reliable, but in this society, when you are old, they throw you in the old age pensioners' home. Bye-bye! And then, young children try to raise other young children, so both are young and inexperienced. And the young parents often lose their tempers as well, because they are frustrated with themselves. They haven't found all the answers that they need. They are busy earning their living, supporting the beginning of their lives, and they have to raise children at the same time, so it is not a very favorable condition for either the kids or the parents. The parents don't have time to learn further because they are too busy raising kids and making money. And the elder who has all the wisdom, strength, tolerance and calmness of those in their mellow years is thrown out of society, his wisdom wasted. Well, the people of our world have a lot to learn, a lot, a lot to learn.
应该要让祖父母来养小孩，老一辈的智慧总是比较可靠，可是在这个社会里，当你老了以后，他们就把你送进养老院，跟你说再见了！然后，年轻人试着自己养育下一代，夫妻双方都年纪轻轻、没有经验，小两口又常常发脾气，因为他们自己也觉得挫折，他们还没有找到所有需要的答案，只顾 口，这对小孩或父母亲都是不好的情况。年轻父母亲没有时间多学习，因为忙着养小孩和赚钱，而那正成熟、有智慧、力量、耐心又沉着的长辈，却被赶出社会了，浪费了他们的智慧。唉！我们世界的人还有好多要学，好多、好多要学。
