(iii) We should know our elderly people well, in order to receive guidance.
(iv) The elderly hold on to the frivolous aspects of life.

“Oh, the value of the elderly! How could anyone not know?

They hold so many keys, so many things they can show.

We all will read the other side this I firmly believe

And the elderly are closest oh what clues we could retrieve.

For their characters are closest to how we’ll be on high.

They are the ones most developed, you can see it if you try.

They’ve let go of the frivolous and kept things that are dear.

The memories of so sweet, of loved ones that were near.

As a nation, we are missing our greatest true resource,

To get to know our elders and let them guide our course”.
