Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The moral of the story was well taken by the students that we must respect the elderly when we’re young, help the weak when we’re strong, admit our mistakes when we’re wrong, because one day we all will grow old, become weak and expect others to show us some respect.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first story “ A Man With a Lamp” is one of the finest moral stories on respect for elders. It teaches us to behave politely to everyone. The second story named “ Choose Your Words Wisely” teaches us not to put blame on anyone without knowing the fact-you may destroy the reputation of an innocent person.

Detailed explanation-3: -Moral respect is non-pathological not by virtue of having its cause in the understanding or reason. Rather, it is non-pathological insofar as it is the form of awareness of how things promote or hinder our will, in other words, promote or hinder us as free, rational and embodied beings.

Detailed explanation-4: -If you give respect to someone they think they are an important person in your life. Respecting elders means you cannot ignore or cut their voices. Whenever they are speaking to someone or discussing anything, don’t interrupt.

Detailed explanation-5: -Respecting elders shows that we value their life experience, wisdom and guidance. It sets a positive example for others, showing that we can all live together peacefully regardless of our age difference.
