Old vs. Young: The Relationship Between Elders and Youth (Ilchi 120 School Episode 8)

We all become elders at some point, but in today’s youth-oriented culture, the wisdom that comes with age is undervalued. Nonetheless, I believe elders have an important role to play in society. They have an obligation to share their life lessons with the youth. They need to set an example and become respected role models through their actions.

At the same time, the youth should take in the wisdom of their elders. This is the best way all generations can work together for our collective growth and for a better world. Society will be healthiest and happiest when the youth and elders are bonded in mutual trust, respect, and care.

In Episode 8 of “Ilchi 120 School,” I talk about this special relationship between elders and the youth and why we need to create and strengthen this bond.
