Everyone can bring certain kind of knowledge and wisdom to the others as long as they live for a while and know things better than before. I always find that my children even in very little age could teach me something. I often discover the country forks had no school experience can guide my way. So I would treat everyone equally and allow all people to bring me the knowledge and wisdom I desperately need for the right way I suppose to be. I’m very thankful about all people’s existences because each one of you makes my life much better than only I can be. That’s why to save the world is so much important to me.

I’ll be a real grandparent next year. As I know, what a grandparent should be is not about knowledge and wisdom but love and care. The reason that I respect my parents and grandparents is not because they know things better than I do but their love, care and respect is nowhere else I can find. So I’m well prepared to be the one exactly like them to provide my grandchildren the best love, care, and respect. While I just do so, I’ll be the best-satisfied grandparent just like I’m the best-satisfied parent now.

Ex-Pontiff said he was scared that he might not be able to provide the place for the parents of Jesus. In fact, his difficulty is not about the place but whether he knew whom the parents of Jesus might be and whether he tells the truth.

No one has the right to request anyone to respect them as parents or grandparents while they don’t really love, care, and respect the others, especially has no such relation in law. So if Popes can’t provide normal grandparents’ love, care and respect to my children, I certainly won’t request my children to call them that way. Anyway, everyone should know that the titles of parents and grandparents are not just for fun or vanity but serious responsibility and obligation to make people survive, comfort, and complete.
