You may think that this quote was said by a group of senior citizens complaining about the behavior of their grand-children. But in actual fact, it was written by Socrates, the great Greek philosopher, over 2000 years ago: ‘Children now love luxury, they have bad manners, contempt for authority, and show disrespect towards elders. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannise their teachers.’ Not much seemed to have changed over all these centuries. Let’s hope our present-day parents instil in their children a sense of respect towards everyone around them.
