Q: How to cope with the generation gap and the problems that it brings? How do we cope with the differences we have with our elders?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: See that has to be done very skillfully. You must explain and keep your stand before them, but you must also be respectful and listen to what they have to say as well.
Remember this – our elders always have love and our best interests at heart. That is why they advise you from time to time. It is possible they may still be following the old ways and old patterns of their generation, or they may not know the new ways fully well. But their intention is always our well-being. It is just that their way of explaining things to us may be different from what we expect. A little give-and-take can help in simply resolving this with ease.
