Vyasamoorthy - My Answers on Quora



Vyasamoorthy on Quora

I try to answers questions on Info Technology especially email and Gmail. I have a passion to push info to senior citizens. Answering on Quora has enriched my reading / understanding. Here I am giving only the questions that I answered. For answers please click the hyperlink
Answers relate to the period  Jan 2013 to Dec 2018. Though I have been on Quora for about six years, it was only after one Donita, journalist from Times of India, discovered me on this platform which resulted in a massive coverage about me in TOI, that I took keen interest to answer queries. Funny thing is that some questions appear new to me now, leave alone my answers! Here are the 58 questions in reverse chronological order as on 24th December 2018.

Why should youngsters respect the elderly?

Why should youngsters respect Elders?

Moved by the above question I saw in Quora, which I could not initially answer myself, I asked my friends in a Seniors’ Group (sss-global, closed group). Their replies are summarized below. This goes to prove two brains are better than one! I thank all my friends for participation. 

RV Rao

1. You feel good to see a happy expression on the face of elderly.
2. You can visualize your parents in them and feel happy.
3. This action satisfies your inner soul to create happiness & joy.

Indu

What you give to the world comes back. Better give respect to all especially the elderly so that when you age and badly crave for it, you may get something in return.

RK Savaram

We’ve to respect everyone irrespective of age and especially elders, so that they feel happy

Prof V Seshadri

There are 2 types of social structures:

(1) Hierarchy structure - Bosses, Elders, Learned, Rich, Powerful etc are respected.
(2) Democracy structure - All humans are almost equal, meritorious are respected.
Although (2) seems better, both have their merits and demerits.
As per (1), elders have to be respected.

Dr Sajjan Singh

Because unqualified blessings come from them

Vyasamoorthy

Because they are ready to share their experience, knowledge and wisdom for free, just for the asking!   They have more years of accumulated knowledge compared to you. Respecting elders is also a part of most cultures.
