Why is it said that having an elder in a family is like having a treasure?

As the old saying goes, an old person in a family is like a treasure. The elderly often play the role of "treasure" in a family, so why should the elderly be compared to "treasure"? What is the reason for this saying: "A family with an old man is like a treasure?" Today, the editor will analyze with you the warmth behind this sentence. Come and find out, friends.

First of all, many old people become more and more "cute" as they grow older. They are deaf and blind and often make a lot of jokes. They are like "old children" at home and need care and comfort from others. This is true. The editor reminds me of my grandma who passed away at the age of 90. The way she walks with a stagger, the jokes she makes behind her ears, and the naive way she sits on the floor picking up groceries all make the editor think she is extremely cute. It is not an exaggeration to say she is the treasure of the family. .

Secondly, as long as there are elderly people at home, there is a "central point" in the home. The children will often go home to visit because they miss them, and they will gather at their parents' homes during holidays. All of this comes from the fact that there is an elder in the family. After the editor's grandfather and grandmother passed away, the aunts and uncles no longer have time to get together frequently. It seems that the central point has been lost, and the individual family has no attraction to get together. So from the perspective of family cohesion , the old man is indeed a treasure.

In addition, the editor often hears people say that if the parents are alive, they have a place to come from. If the old man is gone, then there is only a place to return to. Many times, no matter how old you are, as long as your parents are alive, you will still be a child, and you will still have a haven to rely on and a coquettish embrace. Instead of treating yourself as a baby that will not grow up, your parents are the babies that we can become. Therefore, As long as there are old people, we have a home. How can we be willing to lose such a treasure.

So? A family with an elder is like a treasure? This is really a wise saying. Since the editor's grandparents and grandmother passed away, the editor has often thought about what the family was like when they were still alive. I don't know what my friends were like.
