Oldie but a goodie.

Older people can teach you so much about love, heartache, struggles, success, failures, faith, and life. I don't think people actually realize just how much we could learn if we sat down and just listened. Everyone thinks "oh man they're old what do they know" well they know more than you think. There is a saying in Spanish that says" Mas sabe el diablo por viejo y no por diablo" which means "the devil knows more because he's old not because he's the devil". I think most people overlook them and see them as "useless" or a "waste of space,” but if you'd sit down ask questions and listen, you'll learn more than you'll ever learn in a book, or class. Older people can teach us about the way things used to be, how much a gallon of gas cost in 1920, what they did on Saturday nights, what was popular, and what it was like way before our time. There are things in this world that we will never know unless we sit down and listen. I love talking to older people I love their stories, I love the way they so freely share their experiences, I enjoy their company, there's nothing like sitting down and being transported back in time on the words of someone else’s journey. There is something unbelievable valuable about someone sharing what they’ve experienced in a different time, a time you'll never be able to fully experience. Sit down with your grandparents, your neighbor, or volunteer at a senior citizen center and just listen you'll be surprised at what you just might learn. You never know, maybe along the way you'll learn something about yourself.
